008 | I Hired a Life Coach and Got a Customer Service Bot

Ever get advice that felt way too polished—like your therapist moonlights as a LinkedIn post? Yeah. Same.

This week, I’m reading a wild story from Jessica in Austin, who thought she hired a human life coach… only to realize she might’ve been coached by a motivational chatbot in a pastel vest. Weekly video calls, 24/7 text support, and answers so perfectly vague they could’ve been printed on a candle at Target.

We’re talking about:

• 🚩 Red flags your “coach” might actually be a script

• 🤖 Bots that reply faster than your best friend ever will

• 🧠 When “adaptive language modeling” is not a credential

• 💸 Paying real money for fake empathy

Also, shoutout to this week’s sponsor—"InspoCoach.ai"—the only AI life coach that charges premium rates to ghost you with vague affirmations like “You’re crushing it. Data suggests so.” Not a real sponsor

If you’ve ever been coached, catfished, or comforted by something (or someone) suspiciously robotic, hit that contact form on our site and send me your story. I read them all. Even the glitchy ones.
