I reached out to Rosanne for a trial coaching session because I was going through a difficult time on my fertility journey. After reading great reviews, I hoped for a fresh approach. Unfortunately, the tone of our interaction was the opposite of the support I was seeking. I was late to the call and had weak internet, which disrupted the flow of the conversation. However, during our brief interaction, the leading questioning felt more like scrutiny regarding my desire to grow my family.
I wrote an honest email expressing my disappointment in what I felt was a constructive manner, but her response was disparaging and defensive, including comments such as “that is entirely a projection of your own creation” and “we work with women who actually want to be helped, seek constructive and direct coaching out of their self-sabotaging patterns, take full responsibility for their results and choose empowerment over blame or victimhood and their undeniably awesome results prove that”. I was taken back that she felt able to take such strong views about me after having met me for under 30 minutes. This compelled me to comment, as women seek her guidance during vulnerable times. While this approach might work for some, it certainly did not resonate with me.
