84. Coaching and Therapy Distinctions with Cynthia Flores

Have you ever wondered what is the difference between therapy and coaching?  Or the Difference between change and transformation?

Well, tune in because we may have some answers for you.


In this week’s Yes Mujer Build It podcast episode, I collaborate with Licensed Therapist, speaker, and the Heal and Manifest podcast host Cynthia Flores, where we discuss similar themes around transformational work, mindset, and what taking action looks like in the therapy and coaching realms. While therapy and coaching are two separate areas of self-discovery work, both are beneficial when working in tandem, especially in the Latino community. 

Cynthia describes the origin of how she became a therapist based on her own experience with intergenerational trauma and how she benefited from transformation healing through vulnerability and finding her voice. 

We also explore how therapy and coaching address deep-rooted limiting beliefs and false narratives that keep us from living the lives we truly want. Therapy helps identify the origins of the limiting beliefs, while coaching can focus more on actionable steps to shift mindset and behavior.  

 Cynthia and I discuss the power of reframing limiting beliefs, the need for accountability for our actions, and the crucial role of finding the right community in self-discovery and personal growth.

In this episode, you’ll learn: 

• What is the distinction between change work and transformation work.
• Why transformational work requires a whole new perspective.
• Why it is important to break generational cycles of silence by finding your voice. 
• How to understand and reframe limiting beliefs.
• Why finding a community you resonate with plays a vital role in healing and growth. 
• How holistic approaches in therapy and coaching can address cultural trauma. 
• Why more and more therapists are getting into coaching.
