The Life Coach School Podcast With Brooke Castillo

If you knew your loved one only had three months to live, would you love them harder?   In this episode, I share some of the thoughts I’ve had since finding out my dog only has three months left to live. Most of us don’t know when our time is or when our loved ones’ times are, but we can choose to love them harder today.  

We all experience societal and cultural programming throughout our lives. From children, we’re taught how to belong and who we need to be to fit in.   The panel of coaches I have on the podcast today know about this struggle well.   Listen in today to hear from five Asian life coaches about what it was like to overcome the challenges created by their cultural programming. We dive into the immigrant experience, language barriers, name pronunciation, and how to create a sense of belonging.  

Are there parts of your personality that you just don’t like? Maybe other people have told you they don’t like them either or you’ve been given feedback about them.   You are not alone, friends.   In this episode, I share what I do with the parts of me I don’t like, and how I recommend you approach yours. Find out how to receive feedback without feeling terrible and why you don’t actually have to change these parts of yourself.  

How crappy are you willing to feel to achieve your goals?   In this episode, Ryan shares how his ability to feel his emotions has increased over time, and the value he sees in it now. We discuss how feeling your feelings can make you rich, how exactly to feel your feelings, and what can happen when you work this muscle. If you can experience every emotion, you can hit any goal you want, and Ryan and I are proof of that.  

In part one of my conversation with my friend Ryan Moran, we talk about choosing our own Super Bowls and what it takes to really go after them.   If you’re ready to make this year your best year yet, listen in. Ryan and I talk about everything from living an intentional life to setting the bar too low for yourself. You can win the Super Bowl of your life, but not by being mediocre. Find out how Ryan and I make every year the best year, and how you can too.  

The difference between wanting something and believing in yourself enough to get it is the action you take.   In this episode, I break down why believing in yourself is the ultimate key to getting what you want. Whether you want to become a certified life coach or make a million dollars in your business, I challenge you to put your actions where your mouth is. Learn how to handle the uncomfortable and scary obstacles in your path and practice your skill of believing harder.  

Did you know there’s something even better than happiness?   According to my guest today, there is.   In this episode, Jody Moore and I discuss her new book, the writing process, and how the Model can integrate with faith. Coaching and religion can support each other, and Jody shares how her faith has actually deepened since learning about thought work.  

Whether you have a cold or you’re feeling mildly depressed, I encourage you to get out of bed and try some of the things I share in this episode.   This week, learn how I handle feeling like “I just can’t today” and some tips for when you’re not feeling mentally or physically at 100. There is a middle ground between staying in bed and overworking, and in this episode, I share how to find it so you can still show up for yourself no matter how bleh you feel.  

In this episode, Dorothy and I discuss why breakups are so hard and why they can sometimes make us feel out of control. Dorothy shares some amazing advice to anyone currently in this situation as well as her own story of being broken up with and healing. We talk about buffering, getting over your ex, and why breakups are opportunities for growth.   If you’re currently going through a breakup or you have unhealed pain from a previous relationship, this episode is your invitation to start living again.  

Chances are, you’ve been a hater at one point or another. Or maybe you’re being a hater right now.   In this episode, I challenge you to ask yourself what hating is bringing to your life. Ask yourself how it’s serving you, and why you believe that if you can’t win, they can’t either. I invite you to consider what you can create from a place of love instead.  

Maybe you’re ready to finally lose the weight. To start your business. To double your business. To create deeper relationships and more self-confidence.   If you know deep down that it’s time to make a change, this episode will show you the path.   Self Coaching Scholars Director, Allison Wright, gives you a tour and a sneak peek of our monthly membership program and some of our most popular courses inside.  

To some people, caring about your self image means you’re superficial. They think that dressing intentionally means you’re shallow.   But is that true?   In this episode, Tonya Leigh and I share our journeys of creating self images that reflect our dreams and money goals. We talk about why self image isn’t about buying fancy or expensive clothes, but about aligning how you see yourself with who you want the world to see.  

Most of us have a seriously hard time being proud of ourselves in our heads. It’s even more challenging to celebrate ourselves in front of others.   So in this episode, I invite you to join me in feeling proud. When we fully embrace what we’ve achieved, we open ourselves up to achieve even more. Tune in for an exercise in feeling proud and to learn why acknowledging yourself and what you’ve done is a beautiful thing.  

It’s natural for humans to want to conform to society’s norms and expectations. But doing so comes at a cost.   And when you choose not to conform, a whole host of other challenges can come up.   In this episode, Kara and I discuss why humans struggle so much with both conforming and non-conforming, and how you can figure out what you actually want. Learn how to handle disapproval from others, how to claim your own authority, and how to embrace what makes you different.
