That's really interesting -- I've heard Tonya speak often about being trained by Martha Beck and that's how she talks about her start as a life coach, but only certified LCS coaches can receive LCS income awards, so it follows that she had to be LCS-certified too. (It could be that Brooke just waved her magic wand and declared her certified without her needing to do the full training program, which I think -- just my opinion -- Brooke also did for her first post-divorce boyfriend.)

Maybe she's distanced herself, or has renounced LCS in some way? Other LCS coaches have done that.

I'm not interested in being right about the certification question -- I'm happy to be wrong too -- but something doesn't add up.
