The Life Coach School Podcast With Brooke Castillo

In this episode, I’m talking about why we learn to buffer our pain and how, as adults, we need to process our pain. We’ll dig into the affect unprocessed pain has on our lives and how you can start allowing the pain in. 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.

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.

Ask yourself: What am I done experiencing? What have I had enough of for a lifetime? 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.

I am dumbfounded about how often people lie about money and how convicted people are about it. On this episode, I share my perspective on not telling the truth about money and why deliberately hiding the truth about it in order to control how others think about us is not useful or healthy.

On this episode, I want to talk to you about your body and using it to experience the world as well as your experience of your body.

I also show you what you can begin doing today to uncover your belief ceilings and start changing to get what you want in life.
