The Life Coach School Podcast With Brooke Castillo

Three of my colleagues and I explore the life and accomplishments of Madam C.J. Walker - what the climate was like for dark-skinned Black women in the early 1900s, and all the obstacles she had the audacity to face. She didn’t just pave the way for women then, she is still a shining example of getting comfortable with other people’s discomfort, trusting yourself, and what it means to be a wealthy woman in America.  

Have you ever been questioned about the way you live your life?

This work may be uncomfortable, but I promise that the growth on the other side makes it all worthwhile.

What’s stopping you from creating the results you want? I know many of you are going to say it’s because you’ve never done it before.

In today’s episode, I get real with you all about how you’re talking to yourself and the seemingly harmless thoughts you’re choosing to think. These thoughts are poison, and they don’t allow you to create from future you. Listen in as I point out the subtle differences in the thoughts that hold you back and ones that propel you forward. Talk to yourself like you’re the most precious, amazing, awesome person in the world. Because you are.

In today’s episode, I share what it means to be yourself, know yourself, and truly love yourself.

As humans, we’re designed to want more. More growth, more expansion.  But how do we decide if a desire is worth pursuing?  What happens if you pursue a false desire instead of a true one?
