Mormon “Life Coaches” are playing Bishop. Church leaders haven’t figured this out yet.
My mother is subscribed to a very popular life coach. And, as previous “life coach” posts have mentioned, I also believe it’s just another way for Mormons to grift off other Mormons.
This “life coach” has Zoom sessions with her clients where she talks and answers questions about their Mormon life issues. My mother participated in one and she wanted me to watch it…so I did to be supportive.
What was interesting is that the client before my mother wanted to talk about how most of her children had left the church. And to my surprise, the life coach’s answers were incredibly nuanced. She told her to just love her children, respect their agency and not to worry about things she can’t control. Darth Bednar would definitely not approve of what she was saying. Then after, a man came on to talk about marriage issues.
But then it suddenly occurred to me. These “life coaches” (which are predominately women) are just playing BISHOP! Normally these people would go to their local untrained dentist bishop with these concerns, but if bishop roulette isn’t on your side, you can talk to a nuanced, friendly, untrained “life coach” who can help answer your church problems in a nice way.
This life coach stuff provides loopholes for Mormon women where the cult tells them what they can and can’t do.
First loophole - Raise tons of kids and don’t work outside the home. Life coach lets you work and make money from home without judgment.
Second Loophole - you never get to be a leader and counsel people on their problems like the penisholders do. Life coach lets you do this!
I’m a little surprised that the geriatrics in charge haven’t figured out that some of their membership is circumventing the local leadership for these life coaches and shut it down. How dare these women make money, counsel others and grift off other members! Only penisholders should be able to do all three!
