In this episode Michelle is joined by Laura Slinn. Laura is a celebrated NLP trainer and the co-founder of Avalon Empowerment, a company dedicated to training and certifying trauma-conscious coaches in transformational coaching modalities.
In this episode, we dive deep into Laura’s personal story, discussing the significance of addressing repressed trauma and the mind-body connection that led her to spontaneous pregnancies. We also explore the unregulated coaching industry, emphasizing the need for credible and in-depth training for facilitators. Laura critiques the superficial programs that promise quick fixes and underscores the importance of safe, supportive transformation.
We touch on overcoming imposter syndrome, the value of genuine connections, and maintaining a beginner’s mindset. Laura recounts her enriching experiences with communities like Archangel and Destiny events, and how they contrast with the often transactional entrepreneurial world.
Tune in to this enlightening episode for insights into the transformative potential of NLP, the necessity for depth in coaching, and an inspiring personal narrative.
