    As a licensed mental health professional, yes “life coaches” are a huge problem. There is no set requirements, licensing, ethical rules, or investigation/complaint/enforcement oversight for the profession. Your hair stylist should not have higher requirements to be employed than your “life coach.” They don’t need to be eliminated, but there does need to be organization and basic training requirements so we know these people have some kind of basic knowledge of when a client’s issues is actually a mental health or psychiatric problem. Plus it does offer some basic safety net for the public. Right now you have no way to complain until/unless they obviously break the law… that leaves a lot of ethical issues they can do and get away with. That’s the dangerous part here.

      I'm a nurse, and just as people don't want fake doctors or nurses... they don't want fake mental health providers.
      Life coaches DO have a service people obviously desire, but it should be defined, or at the least... limits set.
      And, there are MANY people who don't do their research. Some people trust every single thing their family doctor of 40 years tells them, and would never seek a second opinion. People get sucked in to health gimmicks because a doctor is promoting them. Not everyone is great at deciphering everything that is thrown at them.
      Any "life coach" should at least have to openly disclose what they are NOT. They are not a mental health provider, they do not have training in family or marriage counseling etc. No one should be misled through omission. And, there will likely still be people who would prefer a life coach based on their specific approach to helping people. But, hopefully no one would be put in harms way because someone doesn't have the evidence based training to clinically help someone who legitimately needs that expertise.

      Mom said "Watch me".
      Kid "No, You can't take the door off."
      She didn't know a door could be removed, she got so interested in how you did that, she completely forgot why she was mad enough to slam the door.

    I think there should be a restriction of use for terms like “certified” “licensed” and “registered” to describe unregulated professions. It gives the impression that they are following some sort of standardized program that they were taught and should be able to trust.
    And if you are presenting yourself as a licences therapist AND life coach it confuses the two roles. And generally they tag the lifecoach on because they are doing things that therapists are not allowed to ethically.
    If you want to totally forsake your degree and licensing then say you are a life coach….go for it. But if you use your degree and licence to bolster your “life coach” status then that should not be allowed.

I also consider myself incredible fortunate to have family to support and to have dealt with professionals who, to me, were good at what they do. What scares me about Life Coaches is how closely they are positioned to people in very vulnerable states. It would have taken someone next-to no effort to manipulate me into doing what or being who they wanted. Anyone can get or give advice, that's not the issue for me. For someone to be able to advertise themselves as a "Life Coach" and be in a position to take advantage of or manipulate the vulnerable with absolutely no oversight is a scary thing for me. Yes, if a Life Coach operates in a way that is provably illegal, then we have laws to punish that, but there's a lot of damage that can be done before getting to that point.

      Check out Adam Steed and his therapy with Hildebrandt. Her motto is that the marriage must be destroyed before it can be built back up. Because he was SA’d as a child, she convinced he and his wife that he was to be feared and was a sex addict. He was separated from his wife and children, kicked out of college, lost church privileges after she disclosed false accusations about him. Her license was suspended due to his case. Manipulating couples into long-term physical separation is her go-to therapy, and it appears to me she has a disdain for men in general.

So they can’t hold him accountable for something just cause some people think it was morally wrong. The RUclips stuff was wrong and abuse but not in the eyes of the law. There’s no proof that he was apart of his kids legally being abused aka tying the kids up.

      Utah has Right to parent laws which set a high bar for establishing abuse. The things on the YT channel were definitely abuse when viewed cumulatively. CPS probably thought so as well, but making the case is another thing. It should also be noted that in the absence of obvious physical abuse that CPS was not allowed to interview the children. This basically means their interviews consisted of trying to get Ruby and Kevin to self-incriminate.
      The reality is that their pre-Jodi methods are too culturally Mormon for the CPS to go after them for it.

    Hi!
    I watch you quite frequently on RUclips.
    Very informative, I learn from you. Thank you!
    About this Franke thing.
    I live in Utah, I'm not LDS.
    Our history, heritage, and law are very heavily influenced by our LDS history.
    We often reach out to our lawmakers here for all kinds of reasons.
    Our lawmakers respond to us.
    It's not at all unusual for a constituant - Mr Franke - to have a chinwag with his elected representative - the state Senator.
    Keep doing the good work you do, and thank you for being willing to gain an understanding of how Utah may approach things a bit differently than other places.
    FYI - I had the privilege of being a jury foreman in January- 5 felonies.
    I'd be glad to have a one on one chat with you about my experience if you may find that useful.
    Merry Christmas 🎄

    I don’t think there need to be regulations for „Life Coaches“ but certainly for „Mental Health Coaches“ or how they name it. People should still do their own research and use their common sense (or brain). If a Life Coach tells me I should abuse my children, I terminate the coaching immediately. And this wasn’t only Hildebrandt, Ruby Franke gave the same advice. I should always be able (and responsible) to questioning someone’s advice. Jodi WAS licensed and she was still able to give horrible advice. Because of LDS and the mormon community.

I am a DV survivor and was very young and broken when I finally made it out. I was lucky enough to have had amazing therapists, but if one of them was a Jodi Hildebrant, I can’t say I wouldn’t have done some stupid things.

    I grew up with parents that used religion to justify controlling every inch of my life. They also had a horrible, horrible marriage and depending on who was venting "privately" to a friend, the story easily morphed from my mom trapped in a loveless, controlling marriage to an angry man she didn't have the resources to get away from (even though she controlled the finances without any oversight and easily squirrelled away funds for herself whenever she wanted to purchase something big) to my dad hanging in there for the kids, stuck with a cold, manipulative, angry woman. In reality, they were both abusive. Both concocting convoluted standards of "discipline" for us kids. And the goal posts moved depending on which kid it was and how stressed or needing to vent the parent involved was. We were their showpieces in public and their punching bags in private.
    All of this to say, I do not trust Kevin Franke one bit. Not one bit. If they had a pet, I wouldn't give the pet back into his care. Maybe if he saw a licensed therapist and acknowledged that he participated in the culture of abuse and control in the house and he took strategic steps to address why he'd done that and how he'd make sure he wouldn't fall back into old patterns. I'm not saying that what happened to him with this church counselor was okay - he was a victim there. But the things happening in that house were not just the dream child of Ruby. He participated in it, he believe in it. He's still trying to patch as many holes in the ship as possible and he's retaliating against his oldest daughter who has dared to air the family dirty laundry. He's still a controlling monster. This divorce is just another pantomine meant to mimic what he thinks a "good father" would do, not realizing it's too little and too late. I hope to god the courts see through him and keep those poor children safe.

    Licensing provides guidelines. It's necessary

    “Life Coach” may as well be synonymous with today’s “Influencer”. Its an self-declared and arbitrary title used to establish or bolster an appearance of “credibility” in order to sell and promote their brand and services. This is why diligence in conducting consumer research is critically important.

    I think anyone who claims to be a "professional" therapist, life coach, etc., needs to be regulated somehow. When a person is giving advice that affects the physical, mental, and emotional welfare of a child, they need to held to a higher standard than just a friend offering advice. For example, telling a husband to excommunicate from their children and wife when there's no grounds for such an extreme decision can harm the children. If a professional has made strange/extreme demands, they're probably telling other clients to drink the same Kool-aid.

    Hey y'all 👋. I arrived late but just want to say that the fact that Ruby is still in jail speaks volumes, to me at least

    If you are, or claim to be 'certified', 'registered', or 'licensed' then there needs to be a governing body to oversee that certification, registration, or licensing. If you are, or claim to be, certified, registered, or licensed then your certification, registration, or license number needs to be available to your customers and/or clients as does the name and contact information of the body issuing the certification, registration, or license.

    Agree with you 💯% that some people have a gift and don’t need an official license to do that, while some licensed therapists (Jodi, case in point) do real harm, though they are “qualified” to counsel.

    So doctors, lawyers, and psychologists all having licensing boards that help regulate someone’s behavior. You can face board sanctions even if you don’t do anything criminal. I think something similar for life coaches would not be a bad thing.

    I think you shouldn't be able to use the term "certified" if you aren't certified by a state or national organization.

    In my opinion Jodie has a part in what happened HOWEVER Ruby had the kids in her custody. You couldn’t convince me to do what allegedly happened to those kids to my kids. As the mother, who had the kids in her custody, what happened makes me sick.
