Starting Over Talk - Peer Coaching Support Site

I vote to retire Rhonda. Iyanla has brought the incite and compassion that women seek. Plain and simple, Rhonda plays "MOM" to some HG's and "Tirant" to others. Let
's get "REAL" LC's on SO and Truly help people!

SO needs to go back to the premise of the first season. They need to STOP bringing in people who are so damaged and need psychological assistance. Life coaches should not be dealing with people who need intense therapy. You never see them, with people who are about to "graduate", setting up long term therapy. In fact they never talk about what the women are going to do when they leave as far as therapy. All you hear is that the women can call the life coaches. Not the same as therapy. How many of the women have been damaged by this? That we never hear about!

I actually like Rhonda. To me, it is Iyanla that should be retired as she is too overbearing and too dramatic. The first season with Rhonda and Rana was the best, so far. I do, though, think that Dr. Stan was a smart addition to the show. Thanks.

I agree!! I liked seeing women grow and learn how to hold down jobs, make better financial decisions, etc.

It's so hard to watch broken women only get a tiny bit of the help they really need and then wonder if they're truly going to be able to make it!!

YES!!! I so agree!

i never watched SO until this season, so i dont know how it used to be. but i agree that deeply wounded women need more than what SO offers. but how can they tell at the beginning who is too wounded to be allowed to come? I too would love to see some of those who have left, how they are doing? I would so love to see Jill again.
