The Life Coach School Podcast With Brooke Castillo

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.

Today I want to talk about the grind and why you shouldn’t try to skip over it and why you shouldn’t give up. I’ll tell you a bit about the grind I’ve gone through with the school and why I’m so thankful for all those hours and lessons.

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. Monday Hour One is an approach to time management that can transform not only how much you get done, but your commitment to yourself. Joining me today to talk about Monday Hour One are two amazing productivity experts and coaches – Lauren Cash and Tyson Bradley.

In this episode we’re diving deep into why we buffer and what we’re tolerating. We’ll talk about why your capacity to respond to life is lower when you’re buffering, and what all those things you’re tolerating have to teach you. 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. We’re chatting about why so many of us are shocked by the sense of loss we feel when kids move away, why we have to reassess midlife, and why there is so much room for joy and rediscovery in this stage of life.

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. Listen in for more on what I’ll be working on in both the business and personal realms and what you can expect from me and all of us here at The Life Coach School.

In this episode, I talk a bit about the journey to 300 episodes of the podcast. Then we dive into episode 1, which is all about why you aren’t taking action. We talk about The Model, why you can’t just will yourself into changing your habits, and why it’s so much easier to change once you understand how your thoughts create your actions.

In this episode, I’m focusing on the teacher-student relationship and highlighting what makes great teachers so special. We’ll talk about how to be a great teacher and an attentive student. I’ll also spotlight some of the incredible teachers in my life who I’ve learned so much from over the years.

In this episode, I’m talking about the talent stack that will help create the life you want. I’ll walk through each of the five skills that I’ve found to be essential for our mental health and our ability to turn our ideas into reality. And I’ll also talk about the changes I’ve made to Self Coaching Scholars 2.0, which has been completely revamped for 2020.

In this episode, I’ll ask you some tough questions about how you handle adversity and what you can do to become more resilient in the face of life’s challenges. 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.
