Ep. 14: Codependency, the Motherhood Identity Crisis & Therapy vs. Life Coaching with Amber Smith

In this episode I talk with Amber Smith – entrepreneur, mother, and online coach for life coaches. We discuss codependency and learning how to be empathetic without completely taking on other people’s emotions and difficulties, her experience with postpartum depression and how the shift of identity that comes with motherhood, and we talk about life coaching – what it is, how it differs from therapy, and how to approach it if you’re interested in trying it out.

We discuss:

• How’s there’s no point in comparing our suffering – your feelings are your feelings and they are valid and deserve attention
• Codependency and learning how to be empathetic without completely taking on other peoples emotions and difficulties.
• She is very honest in sharing her experience with postpardum and how the shift of identity that motherhood brought was a difficult transition for her.
• And life coaching – what it is, how it differs from therapy, and how to approach it if you’re interested in trying it out.
