Frequently Asked Questions
Our biased answer is YES! Of course it is right for you! However, that is not the whole truth. It all depends on what you are trying to achieve. Conversations By YOU is here to help you start and maintain your personal development journey. We help you (re)discover who you are so that you can live a more fulfilling life, have healthier relationships and overall be happier with what is currently available to you. We work slightly outside of your comfort zone so that growth is possible and we help you discover which tools work for you and which ones do not. Our goal is to help you feel heard, help you cultivate self-acceptance and self-love, to improve your listening,... all so that you can have the positive impact you want to have in this world. We want you to discover your power.
If you are in need of medical assistance or if you are wanting to go on a deep dive into your own being because you are already a pro at self-acceptance, listening, being heard, love and freedom, then we are not right for you. We are not here to replace therapy and professional help either. If you are unsure, we are always happy to chat with you and help you find the best solution FOR YOU, whether it be us or someone/something else.
No. Therapy is a very personalized process and it is lead by psychologists and psychiatrists with the aid of medical assistance when necessary. Coaching is not always under guidance of medical and mental health professionals (we are neither at Conversations By YOU). With coaching you learn to take control over your personal development and it can be a great tool to assist in healing your past traumas and improving your mental health. However, coaching is not a replacement for therapy.
Think of coaches as the personal trainers for your mind and therapists would be akin to physiotherapists and doctors. By choosing to get a coach, you support your mental health and well-being just like you would support your body in staying healthy or getting stronger when you work with a personal trainer.
Coaching, like therapy, may or may not be right for you but only you can make that decision. It has many benefits and it has done Layla and Wendy wonders to help them overcome personal struggles and improve the quality of their lives. It is very likely beneficial for you too in that regard.

WISH; When I Say...Hear
This is an 8 week program (with one bonus introduction session). We do this entirely online, every week we have a 2 hour zoom call to coach a small group (max 50) on one of the pods; Listen, Be Empathetic, Be Aware, Befriend Fear, Aligned Action and Don't Be Perfect. Each cohort of WISH has their own little group chat and weekly buddy calls are set up in that manner. You'll have a more personalized experience, get a chance to share more and you'll have a support group to help you through the weekly discovery. It is a more intense program than our membership and will give you necessary skills to further your personal development.
Memberships are annual paid group coaching conversations. This is a very affordable option for those of you wanting to discover their power or to see what personal development is all about. Twice a month we host a 90 min zoom call, the groups are larger than WISH as they cap at 100 members. Topics range from self-acceptance, to judgement, to curiosity and more. The goal here is to help you gather tools and discover what works and what does not work for you so you can live a more fulfilling life no matter what chapter you're in.
It does not. It shows you how you help yourself or how you hurt yourself. This program is set up to increase your awareness of your own behaviors, where you might be stuck, where you are struggling, where you need more support and also where you are succeeding, where you are learning and growing. Only you can make the difference by putting in the work. All we do is help you see it.
You help yourself. Our Membership only provides you with guidelines, fun tools, not so fun tools and a means for you to become more aware of who you are, how you act and what impact you have on yourself and others. You are the only one who can really help you. If you want change, you have to do it and we are here to provide you with the necessary insights and suggest steps you can take in order to reach your goals. Discover your power!
