The Life Coach School Podcast

What if I told you satisfaction wasn't about getting more stuff? Or achieving more goals. I know... it sounds counterintuitive. And yet, as I've been watching the incredible transformations happening in this final year of Scholars, I've noticed something fascinating about satisfaction. It's about three specific things that most people never put together: deciding again, wanting what you already have, and the way you cultivate your goals. In this episode, I share how to feel deeply satisfied right now (without settling), why your past decisions might be secretly sabotaging you, and how to want things from a place that feels amazing instead of desperate. This is going to change everything about how you think about satisfaction.   What You Will Discover:   Why deciding everything again each year keeps you growing and evolving The difference between gratitude and wanting what you already have How to discover what you truly want versus what others expect Why satisfaction doesn't conflict with setting ambitious goals The power of conscious living versus defaulting to past patterns How to cultivate anticipation instead of scarcity Why letting go of past identities opens doors to new possibilities     Featured on This Episode:   The Last Word on Power by Tracy Goss     Join The Life Coach School on Social:   instagram.com/lifecoachschool/ instagram.com/therealbrookecastillo/ facebook.com/lifecoachschool/ linkedin.com/school/lifecoachschool/ tiktok.com/@lifecoachschool pinterest.com/thelifecoachschool/     Do you have a suggestion for a topic you think I should cover?

When faced with a big change, your brain isn’t going to like it.   Brains like certainty and stability, not the unknown.   So when I announced this would be the last year of Get Coached, many of the students inside had thoughts about what this change would mean for them.   And I get it.   Coaching and teaching inside these containers has been so rewarding and amazing.   And, I cannot wait to see my students surpass me in achieving their impossible goals and in being an example of what’s possible.   In this week’s episode, you’ll learn why you 100% have the ability to surpass your teachers and why you might want to.

Growth, whether it be personal or in our businesses, feels uncomfortable.   It just does.   Pushing your limits and seeing what you are capable of comes with some discomfort.   However, some people don’t let themselves even attempt to grow because they’ve decided they would rather have peace over discomfort.   My guest this week, like so many of you listening, was willing to disturb her peace in order to grow, and the results have been tremendous.   Stacey Boehman is not just one of my favorite people on the planet, she’s also a Master Business Coach for life coaches with multiple highly successful programs. Her journey of going from selling mops in department stores to running an 8-figure business is insanely inspiring, and you can be sure that it came with a lot of discomfort along the way.   Tune in this week as Stacey and I explore the choice many people think they have to make between growth and peace, and why hiding from your dreams doesn’t automatically mean you feel peace instead. We discuss the power of deciding to give something your all, how to handle the discomfort of growth, and we share our experiences of choosing to go all in on our businesses while balancing motherhood.   What You Will Discover: How we reconcile the discomfort of growth and choosing it anyway.

We all love watching people struggle in books and movies, but we don’t want to experience it ourselves. But, guess what? This is the human experience! And it’s beautiful!

We’re moving into a new phase of episodes to help you cope and thrive during the ongoing uncertainty. Over the next several days, I’ll be posting episodes in the Moving Forward series about how to do just that. We’re done being panicked and scared. Let’s move forward.

Today, I want to talk about the importance of allowing ourselves to feel feelings, even the bad ones. I’ll share how I’ve been feeling lately (awful) and why I choose to embrace that feeling with acceptance and compassion.

In this episode, I’m talking about how to see value, produce it, and not just consume it. Our ancestors have prepared us for this challenge, I want you to double down on your efforts.

Join me as I coach on how to be at peace with your decisions, why believing that other people are handling it wrong is not helping you show up the way you probably want to, and why you need to do the work of thinking on purpose so you can differentiate your thoughts from the actual circumstances.

In this episode, I share some suggestions on how you can use this time to set goals, be of service, learn compassion for yourself and others, and to really practice creating more than you're consuming. No one else can tell you what the right thing to do is. It's up to you to decide how you're going to handle this and who you're going to be on the other side. Go into the deepest part of you to find out what is real and true for you. Get a plan. Get a focus. Put some energy into it.

No matter what is happening, you can embrace the world for what it is and utilize what you have to grow. On this special episode, I want to invite you to step back and look at the big picture. Look at the new obstacles you may face and use them to create strategies for growth. Then, I want you to look at what is good and abundant right now. Focus on that and be an example of what is possible.

On today's special episode, I'm sharing why this is the perfect time to hone your own self-coaching practice and how all of the feelings that are coming up around the coronavirus pandemic offer an incredible glimpse into your beautiful humanity. 

As humans, we tend to stop thinking on purpose when we feel powerless and out of control. But I believe that, although the situation is uncertain, this is an important opportunity to take back the power of our thinking and make our mental health even stronger. Over the next several days, I’m going to be releasing a series of special episodes to help any of you who may be feeling brain chaos right now. I’ve got you. I am here to help.

I get a lot of questions about The Life Coach School, so I'm bringing them to the podcast to answer them all in one place. This week, I want to give you an inside look at the business model of the Life Coach School, my approach to marketing, and why overdelivering is our jam.

In today’s episode, we’re diving deep into emotional suffering and why we create pain around our pain. In our modern lives, we’re called on to evolve in this new way. We don’t need to just survive; we need to thrive. And learning to stop suffering is a huge part of that.

In this episode, we’re chatting about whether you have to be an entrepreneur to be a coach, what it’s like coaching for us and other schools, and how you can coach while keeping another full-time job. If you’re waiting for a sign or permission to become a coach, then this is it!

In this episode, you’ll hear from coaches who have been in the business less than a year and others who have been around a bit longer. Each of them had their own mental obstacles to overcome on the way to $100K – but all of them used perseverance and massive action to set & achieve their goals.

Today I want to share the Monday Hour One process that we use at the Life Coach School and beyond.

And we’ll chat about what happens when you stop buffering, and what you’ll need to do next.

I wanted to address the idea of selfishness in this episode because I think a fundamental misunderstanding holds a lot of people – women especially – back. When we don’t take care of ourselves, we’ll never live up to our potential as the most powerful contributors we can be. It’s time to update our common definition of selfishness – or replace it with the idea of self-care once and for all.

In today’s episode, I’m talking about how to cultivate your power and why power must be creative rather than destructive. I’ll tell you how you can learn to define power for yourself, why peace and compassion are some of our most powerful traits, and what you can do to practice feeling powerful every day.

I’ve got Suzy Rosenstein, the Midlife Coach, with me on today’s episode to talk a bit about midlife and the huge opportunities it contains.

Things have grown and changed a lot over the past year, and now I’m excited to focus on helping my coaches reach new levels and learning to be a better manager.

We’ll talk about the key difference between the challenges you choose and those that are forced on you, and why adversity is a key ingredient for any major success.

What happens when you ask for what you want? Does your partner say, “Sure – I want to do that too!” Or do they say, “Thanks for telling me, I’m happy to do that.”  These are all different scenarios of the Want Match, today’s concept. I’ll tell you what Want Matches are, how they work, and how they can take the pressure off your partner and help you get your needs met by a wide variety of people in your life.

And I’ll tell you how your life can expand when you allow yourself to feel pain, and some things that can make it easier to accept.

Today I’m talking about the question “how are you feeling?” and how it can change your relationships. We’ll also talk a bit about what this question might bring up for people, why it might be a little uncomfortable to ask, and why it’s totally worth it anyway. And I want you to play with asking this question of others and of yourself.

I’m so excited for this episode of the podcast. I get to have a conversation with one of my dearest friends, Kris Plachy, about one of our favorite topics: common mistakes entrepreneurs make when they’re building their companies.

In this episode, we’re diving deep into the concept of how greed and the importance of taking responsibility for your own process and success.

And I’ll tell you about my hard why and how you can (and need) to create one of your own.

I take my dogs out for a walk every morning, and the other day we came across a butterfly walking on the pavement. I couldn’t understand why it was walking when it had these big, gorgeous wings that it could use to fly anywhere. It reminded me of a lot of my students. In this episode, you’ll hear more about the butterfly walking idea and how to figure out if you’re playing small and ignoring your wings.

In this episode, I’m walking you through this thought process and sharing a quick exercise you can do to figure out what you’re done with.

When you tell yourself that you’re doing everything you’re supposed to and still not seeing the result you want, you’re most likely lying to yourself. The Model never lies.

On this second part of our two-part series on the topic of underearning, I have a special treat for all of you. I am talking to two of my students – Bev Aron and Deb Butler – about money, the mentality that keeps us stuck, and mastering the skill of outearning yourself. Bev and Deb started out in their careers as chronic underearners, although most people would never categorize them as such because they had "plenty of money." After becoming Master Life Coaches with The Life Coach School, they weren't able to break the six-figure mark for some time, until recently.

Make sure to tune in next week as I talk to two of my students who were chronic underearners who are now earning well into the multiple six figures.

One of the things that I notice about my students is that they have a lot of thoughts about their thoughts. They create models about their thoughts – they have models about their models. By doing so, they resist their original model and can’t allow it to be in order to change it. Join me in this episode as I teach you a meta-skill that will help you avoid the issues you may be having with your models that are keeping you from creating anything you want in your life.

This week, we’re talking about self image – the way you interpret and think about yourself. Not how others think about you. You. Join me to discover how a positive self image can not only enrich your own life but also the lives of those around you and what you can do to start cultivating one today!

Reaching a certain level of success (and having those results in your life) is a good problem to have. However, many of us constantly sabotage those hard-earned results, often immediately.

Combining two ideas – consumer debt and not making decisions – I had an epiphany that when we prolong decisions or procrastinate, we end up with a bunch of unmade decisions hanging over us that are nagging at us in the back of our mind. I call this “decision debt.” Join me this week as we explore the reasons why we leave decisions unmade and how it zaps the energy from our brain and keeps us stuck. What is YOUR decision debt costing you?

To talk about selling and why it’s so important, I’m joined on this episode by Stacey Boehman. We discuss why it’s so important for life coaches (and everyone else) to learn how to sell well.

If you’re being people pleased, you might feel resentful of the help. This can lead to a sense of guilt – Why can’t I just let so-and-so help me? They’re just trying to be nice. What’s wrong with me? – and eventually obligation. I’ll just let them help, even though I didn’t want them to. Today, I’m talking all about being people pleased and how important it is to set your boundaries honestly, firmly, and quickly with people who may be doing this to you. 

Join me and Krista as we open up on this difficult but incredibly important topic.  We talk about how we’ve grieved loved ones in our lives and how the process is different in every experience.

Discomfort is the currency to your dreams. If you’ve been listening to my podcast, I’m sure you’ve heard me say those words more than once.

Most people do not like to feel discomfort. The reason why we are not as far as we’d like to be with our goals – whether it’s weight-loss, quitting drinking, building a business – is because we have chosen not to be uncomfortable.
