At best maybe a life coach could be a paid friend, someone to listen to you and help you talk through your s**t and get some gentle nudging or amateur advice.
Life coach is to friendship as is sex worker is to sexual partner.
I know one and she does have her life pretty well together, pretty successful (though not sure how much of that is the actual coaching). Buuut...

The one I know probably leans more towards this end of the scale, maybe not messianic but "I've done all the 'research' so my opinions are correct" level. They are super religious too so it tracks.
I remember when they told us to stop using our microwave because it was bad for us.
I guess a life coach is like a non-religious pastor or priest that you have to pay instead of paying tithes (which are kind of optional though one church I went to would talk to you if you weren't tithing, not sure what would happen if you didn't start).
