What The Fuck Is Happening?
06/28/23 • 63 min
Today’s very special episode features Sam & Rick’s previous marriage therapist, now rebranded as the ‘Ego Coach,’ Zay. He opens up about his philosophy background, his own marriage that recently ended in divorce, and ultimately why he moved from therapy to Health & Life Empowerment Coaching.

- Outgrowing his therapist profession and moving on to life coaching

- Eliminating hierarchy and living in symbiosis
