In this episode of the Reinvention Project, Carly and Emma unpack the wellness world and compare the role of a wellness influencer with that of a certified health coach. Carly shares her story of life on the inside of an MLM and the conference she took Emma to (get out the popcorn)! She talks about the ick she felt at the time, but also how that grew once she started the process of gaining a certification in Functional Medicine Health Coaching. It's a juicy episode!

Takeaways

• Coaching isn't talking at people with presentations it's actively listening and asking open ended questions that uncover intrinsic motivation
• Selling a solution before hearing the problem is backwards
• Coaching builds trust, Wellness Influencing builds a brand
• Scope of practice is protection, not limitation
• Health isn't a product, it's a process
• Community should never be linked to hitting numbers
• Integrity is more important than influence
