296: A Great Body Does Not Automatically Make Someone a Great Coach
OVERVIEW:
In this episode, Ashley breaks down why women need to be more discerning about who they trust with their body, metabolism, hormones, and long-term health. While personal transformation stories can be inspiring, there is a big difference between sharing what worked for your own body and having the education, experience, and coaching skills to guide someone else through their own journey.
This conversation is especially important for women over 35, because your body needs more than generic advice like “eat less,” “work harder,” or “cut carbs.” Hormonal shifts, stress, sleep, recovery, dieting history, muscle mass, and metabolic health all matter.
Ashley explains the difference between information and true coaching, why real assessment is essential, what red flags to watch for online, and what women should look for before hiring a coach.
