"Should I see a therapist or a coach?"

It's one of the most common questions I get, and it's an important one to answer clearly.

Therapy and coaching serve different purposes. You might need one, the other, or both - but knowing the difference will help you get the right support at the right time.

Let me break it down.

You've made the pros and cons list.
You've asked everyone's opinion.
You've analyzed it from every angle. And you still don't know what to do.

Your logic has taken you as far as it can go. Now you need something else.

It's time to engage your intuition.

But if you're like most people, you've spent years being told to "be logical," "think it through," and "don't be emotional." So when it's time to listen to your gut, you don't know how.

Let's explore!

Do you meditate every morning before anyone in your household wakes up? or see a Reiki practitioner but tell your colleagues it's "physical therapy?" MAybe you know your guides are real, but you'd never mention that to an inlaw, let alone a team meeting.

I bet, you've learned to code-switch seamlessly - corporate Sara at work, spiritual Sara at home. Two completely separate identities. Two completely separate worlds.

And you're exhausted from pretending.

If this is you, I see you. And I need you to know something:

You don't have to choose.

You wake up. Go through the motions. Check the boxes. But something feels... off. Maybe you can't name it. Maybe you've been ignoring it. Maybe you've convinced yourself it's normal to feel this way.

But deep down, you know: something needs to change.

Here are seven signs you're in that in-between space where you're no longer who you were, but not yet who you're becoming.
