Claire Pedrick first began talking with Jaye Lee after she read this post on Linked In and made her realise that she too had seen something and not called it out. Jaye did.
https://www.linkedin.com/feed/update/urn:li:activity:7456226180824907776/
So this episode explores the complexity of ethics, silence, authenticity, and credentialing within the coaching profession. Claire talks with Jaye Lee, a Singapore-based coach and co-founder of Oneness Consultancy, about the moral dilemmas coaches face, particularly around calling out misconduct and the power dynamics of giants in the industry.
They discuss how silence can silently enable harmful behaviours, the importance of self-awareness and consistency, and how badges and credentials impact perceptions of authority. Jaye talks about the importance of being human and genuine over striving for external validation. This episode invites coaches and listeners to reflect on our values, actions, and the true meaning of integrity, encouraging a courageously human approach to professional and personal life.

This episode explores how betrayal affects mental, emotional, and physical well-being in ways many people don’t recognize. Debi Silber joins Claire Pedrick to share her research on betrayal as a distinct trauma and explains the five stages of betrayal recovery, from shock to rebirth.
We also discuss post-betrayal syndrome, how betrayal can disrupt trust and identity, and why true healing requires rebuilding the self—not just repairing a relationship. If you work with clients, this conversation will help you better recognize unhealed trauma and guide deeper transformation.
Key Learnings:
- Betrayal creates a unique trauma response that affects mind and body
- Post-betrayal syndrome can last for years if left unaddressed
- The five stages of recovery offer a clear path to healing
- Coaches should not rush clients through the healing process
- Rebuilding identity is essential for lasting recovery
