In this Aligned Coach interview, host Lindsey Badillo talks with Liz McNairy, a school counselor, former mental‑health clinician, yoga teacher, and empowerment/wellness coach. Liz shares her personal turning point when her father died during her senior year of college, describing how the loss forced her to reevaluate her career path and sparked a deep spiritual awakening. She explains how therapy, gratitude practices, and especially yoga became the core of her healing process, leading her to create a blended coaching model that combines counseling, yoga, journaling, and self‑discovery. Liz discusses the evolution of the coaching industry from generic "life coaching" to highly niche‑specific services, emphasizing the importance of alignment between a coach’s strengths and a client’s needs. She reflects on the "either‑or" myth of having to choose between a traditional job and coaching, describing her own balance of part‑time school counseling, entrepreneurship with her husband’s wellness business, and travel. The conversation also touches on tools like Human Design, the practice of asking oneself what one is "available for" each month, and the flexible, mission‑driven approach to building a coaching practice. Liz closes by inviting listeners to connect via her website (lizmcnairy.com) and social media for one‑on‑one or group work.
