27. Coach or Couch with Pamela Carrington Rotto

Welcome back to CardCast! Today's episode is a little different as we are joined by our very first guest, Dr. Pamela Carrington Rotto, and the topic is simple, but powerful:

Coach… or Couch?

Dr. Pamela Carrington Rotto, founder of Markay Advisors LLC, helps CEOs and leadership teams scale their companies and achieve legacy-driven success by overcoming misaligned teams, performance gaps, and stalled processes.

She holds a Ph.D. and MS from the University of Wisconsin–Madison and is a Licensed Psychologist. Her background spans the Growth Institute, International Coaching Federation, NeuroLeadership Institute, Greatness U, and Inspired Outcomes (NLP), Sandler Sales Training, and ongoing advanced business education every year since 2013.

In short, she sits in both worlds: coaching and psychology.

Coaching is future-focused. It clarifies goals and defines action. Therapy, on the other hand, looks at what you are carrying and the emotional weight that may be slowing you down.

If the conversation lives in the future, you are in coaching territory. If it keeps circling the past, something may need to be unpacked first.

So the question is not whether you are “bad enough” to need therapy. The question is, are you trying to run while carrying unnecessary weight?
