"Who is your favorite life caoch?" |
I put this on the other forum & got locked out. But & we had a pretty good conversation going to. I wish I would have seen the show when this life coach Rana was there. Does anyone think she was better?

Aaaaah Rana........love her and miss her. She was by far MUCH better than Rhonda and or IV could ever hope to be.
She was actually concerned about her clients in getting the process and helped each, equally, to start over and to plan for the long term after they graduated.
And yes, every one of her clients did graduate. Leah, end of season one, did leave on her own accord (season was ending) but Rana had brought her as far as she could have gone to prepare her to come out and live life as its fullest as a gay person. I also noticed another difference in the clients, after they either left or were booted, is that none (as far as I can remember) of Rana's clients ever needed more than their 15mins of fame they got from the show.
Rana was and still is an LC who guided the ladies through the process without having to scream, threathen, use drama, etc for the ladies to get it. Rana, imho, is the ONLY bonefide LC to have been on the show. She guided Teresa, who also was 40K in debt as is Allsion, as to how to contact each creditor to make a settlement to clear up the bill/s. She guided her through, throuhgly, on how to make a budget AND keep it. She utilized EXPERTS to help Teresa. IV's solution to Allison's debt? Declare bankruptcy.....the EASY and the CHICKEN way out. Wasn't Allsion there to learn NOT to take the easy way out? Hmmmmmmm
Rana was thorough with her clients....making sure each step of the process was compeleted and they understood what they learned from the exercises..I don't remember Rana giving answers to what her clients were to learn. So, to answer your question:
RANA is by far my most favorite.

I like them all only because they are each different with different approaches. I really liked Rana and I sad when she didn't return. When Iyanla appeared, I was happy because I have seen her in action many times before and read her books and knew she would be a good contrast to Rhonda. I was on Rana's website a few weeks ago. I am glad she is stil serving her life's purpose. I did like her work.

That sounds weird. i wish i could have seen Rana in action. Iyanla is much more into the New Age thing than Rhonda I got to say that.

Is there >any truth to that? This is what i remember from that little tidbit: Season one, ther ws a link, explaining how Rana became an LC on the show. She had indeed (per the article) applied to be a housemate and when th show found out about her credentials (She actually owns her own business and LC's company's etc) she was asked to be an LC. NO idea if the article was correct or just another rumour.
HER web site addy is: http://www.diamondcutterllc.com/startover.html

I don't know how much of this season you've seen but she regurally gives TJ humiliating assignments that contradict her diagnosis of ADHD because Rhonda really knows nothing about ADHD and just assumes that TJ is obnoxious. So she constantly sets her up to fail with her housemates and then blames her for not overcoming the very disability she came to the house to get help for. While many of the house guests have received specialized visits from people to help them with their special problems, TJ has never received a visit from someone who understands her specific disability and is able to help her with it. While Lisa has received tons of help and yet done nothing with it TJ gets nothing.

I'm still hoping, for TJ's sake, for Lisa's sake, etc. that they're getting more help from qualified professionals than we're seeing on the show. Perhaps the editors and producers of the show feel that it's not "good TV" to show the women driving 'round the Valley to specialists.From what we've seen on TV, I don't feel like any of these women -- including Lisa -- has received enough substantive help from psychiatric professionals to make much of a dent in their problems. A handful of sessions with a professional, which is what we've seen Lisa get, isn't going to result in any substantive growth. But I'm in full agreement when it comes to the idea that people here have expressed about Rhonda's assignments being more punitive and dramatic than therapeutic. TJ's box exercise and her card exercise seemed more about dramatizing for the viewers what it was like to be TJ. Much was made of her having been shut off from effective listening and communicating as a child with vision and hearing problems. I don't see how it was "good" for TJ, nor do I see that it was necessary for us who were watching, to dramatize TJ's plight by having her sit in a large cardboard box, cut off from communication. Lisa's "baby dress" assignments were, I thought, similarly inappropriate. The new housemate, Kim, has done very little in the house thus far, but her "decorate your playhouse and I'll come in and rip it up" assignment felt wrong to me -- like a betrayal of trust between Kim and her life coach. With both of these, as with almost all of TJ's exercises, it felt like the purpose was to show us what was already clear -- that Lisa behaves childishly (but we didn't need to see her in baby clothes to have grasped that) and that Kim tends to repress her thoughts and feelings.
