On this episode of The Life Coach School Podcast, we’re talking about learning to feel all of our emotions on purpose and being able to manage them.

In this episode, I make a case for pain: why you can’t afford to not embrace the pain of being human and why you must strive to move toward the pain and away from pleasure to live a fulfilling life.

One of the things that I’ve been working on recently is the concept of what I call “thought loops.” Essentially, a thought loop is a thought error that tends to happen in our brain and is reminiscent of the Obsessive Compulsive Disorder but is something that we can easily control. In this episode, we take a deep dive into what these errors are, how they present themselves in our lives, and how we can overcome them. I als0 explain how these compulsive and irrational thought loops have shown up (and are still showing up) in my life.

In this important episode, we take a look at the benefits of self-growth and how it can increase our capacity for well-being. We explore Maslow's theory of self-actualization and how ignoring our desire for making a contribution to the consciousness of the planet can hurt or even kill us. Listen in to find out how you can begin facilitating true self-growth that will come from an internal place and evolve you in a cognitive and emotional way.

On this episode, we continue our exploration of the pursuit of well-being and how constantly seeking false pleasures prevents us from achieving it. I explain the importance of delaying gratification and how it can lead to tremendous personal growth and increased effort threshold. Listen in to discover the steps that you need to take to achieve your ultimate level of well-being and to make sure that your pursuit of “the prize” is filled with joy, exhilaration, and anticipation.

This week we explore the difference between cultivating well-being and constantly living in the realm of false pleasures, and how understanding that distinction can help you find your path to an authentic life that humans were born to lead.

What are we to do in our society of easily obtainable pleasure in order to live a truly authentic and fulfilling life? Join us on this episode and we dig into this idea of buffering and how we can stop using external things to change how we feel emotionally.

Tune in as I explain the role our hormones play in our ability to lose weight and how sugar and flour affect them. I also cover how dopamine and neurotransmitters affect our desire for food and what we can do in order to get that desire under control, as well as many other concepts that I will be covering in our upcoming training. If you’re someone who would like to take control of their weight or a coach who would like to help their clients do the same, you won’t want to miss this episode or our STOP OVEREATING WORKSHOP LIVE on October 17th and 18th.

For our 130th episode, we have another "Lessons from" episode where I share one of my teachers who had a great impact on my life and the teachings of my own. And today, we’re looking into the teachings of Jack Canfield, particularly the ideas laid out in his book, The Success Principles: How to Get from Where You Are to Where You Want to Be.

In the first part of our this series, I’m talking about some of the main tools laid out in my book, If I'm So Smart, Why Can't I Lose Weight?, as well some of the updates and improvements I’ve made to them over the years.

In this episode, I share my thoughts on minimalism and how I apply them to my house, to my work, and to my eating habits. I share my best tips for getting rid of non-essential “stuff” that weighs us down and prevents us from experiencing true freedom.

On this episode, we’re digging into the topic of us being inappropriately comfortable in our current society and how appropriate discomfort can help us grow as human beings. Join us we go through the best quotes from Tears to Triumph and uncover how we can beat this epidemic of our media-driven society that wants to dull our emotional pain and appropriate discomfort that drives our growth.

Join us as I break down how planning can set you free and help you eliminate the burnout and energy drain that comes with indecision. You won’t want to miss this explanation of how being deliberate about how you spend your time can help you achieve true freedom in your life and business. 

On this episode, I explain how you can tell the difference between backing out of something and accepting the reality and why this distinction is so important for us to understand. Listen in to find out how you can use acceptance to your advantage and (hopefully) get inspired to finish those important tasks you've put behind you and live a more fulfilled life!

In the last episode, we covered all of the basic tools we teach at The Life Coach School. Today, we’re going way deeper and take a look at the advanced skills that our students learn.
