In this powerful mini-milestone episode, Daria Taikova reflects on her journey from soft power coach to counselling practicum student—and what it truly means to hold space for healing.

With heartfelt insight and science-backed reflections, Daria shares how the shift from coaching to therapy demands deeper presence, legal clarity, and a whole-person approach rooted in relationship, not performance. She opens up about building a dual career as a future therapist and a coach, what it’s like inside practicum, and why relational attunement is the real foundation of change.
