Good advice, too much selling “The Clutch”

“As an executive coach, I find Kara’s advice to be excellent for examining internal monologues and challenging our own thoughts that are creating negative emotions. I was turned on to the podcast by a friend who asked how I, a male executive coach, could possibly relate to or understand a woman’s perspective. She recommended the podcast, and I went back and started listening from the beginning. I find her model of “managing your mind” aligns well with my training as a psychologist, and the topics she tackles have a lot of good advice.
That said, I have two main issues with the show. The first is how heavily she uses it to promote her on-line coaching product, “The Clutch”. It feels like close to ⅓ of the time in each episode is encouraging the listener to buy into her paid coaching community. I don’t blame her for using her podcast as a tool to market her other services, but the amount she pushes it detracts from her messages. I have hesitated to recommend some of her excellent episodes (e.g., the episode on boundaries) to my clients, and usually preface my advice to listen with, “The advice is good if you can get past the heavy sell.”
The other issue is more substantive. Kara’s advice for managing your own mind is excellent, but I find it really misses the dynamics of interpersonal relationships. It focuses on self-preservation, but offers little guidance as to how to constructively engage with others. She focuses on creating psychological safety for yourself but neglects to address the things we do that threaten others’ psychological safety other than to say that you aren’t responsible for managing other people’s minds. While that statement is true, she could benefit from offering ways to avoid unnecessarily hurting others with our own actions.”

“I am a professor, not a lawyer, but wow, does this all resonate with me! For the first time I found a podcast where each was just the right length, where the person has a wonderful voice that I enjoy listening to, who understands women, and that gives advice that works. In fact, some of her...”Read full review »
