Do you have a secret dream of becoming an entrepreneur?

What’s stopping you?

Maybe you don’t think you have the time to start something new. Or maybe you don’t think your idea is good enough.

Whatever the reason, you aren’t living into your potential, and my guest this week is the person to show you how to change that.

Amy Porterfield is one of my heroes. She was one of the first women entrepreneurs I witnessed talking about her numbers publicly and in doing so, she showed me what was possible.

She joins me to share about her amazing new book, Two Weeks Notice, and discuss why so many women keep their entrepreneurial dreams to themselves instead of stepping into their full potential.

Learn how to overcome the excuses you’re currently giving for not taking action, how Amy’s book will give you the step-by-step runway for taking the leap into entrepreneurship, and why you already have everything you need to start.

If you’re like most people, you might think self discipline is the same as willpower. That it is restrictive, non-sponteneous, and boring.

You have the intention of working out every day, of not procrastinating, of showing up consistently.

Then you let momentary discomfort guide your decisions and blame this on a lack of willpower.

But my guest this week knows that isn’t true.

Monica Levi is a master of self discipline. As a lawyer turned life coach, she helps her clients develop the identity of being self diciplined through mindset management and self love.

She believes that self discipline is the bridge between your goals and your results, and she’s here to tell you why.

Tune in this week to hear from the master of self discipline herself, Monica Levi, about why you might be lacking self discipline and how to change that. Learn why self discipline is so closely linked to self love, the freedom that having self discipline brings, and how to master this skill yourself.

Why do you overeat?

Maybe you’re bored and like to eat for entertainment. Maybe you use eating as a distraction from negative emotions and stress.

Maybe you just really enjoy eating so you do it for pleasure.

Whatever your reason for overeating is, it’s also preventing you from stepping into the next version of you.

To break this habit, you need to understand why you’re overeating and solve from there.

In this episode, find out what happens to your mind and body when you overeat and how to finally break free from this habit once and for all.

Life is 50/50. Although you can’t control what kind of adversity you face, you can bet that you will face some.

Maya Angelou said, “You may encounter many defeats, but you must not be defeated.”

So, how do you handle adversity without feeling defeated?

Handling adversity is something I covered in a recent webinar and if you missed it, you get to hear it today on the podcast.

Tune in this week to learn how to not only handle adversity but how to also use adversity to your own benefit. I share three secrets to overcoming adversity and some of the pitfalls to look out for in this process.

You might not realize this, but there is one sentence running your life right now.

This one sentence is hidden, subconscious, and it is responsible for the results you are creating.

“I’m not good enough.”

“I can’t lose weight.”

“I won’t be successful.”

These are powerful sentences, but you don’t have to keep them.

In this episode, I share how to find the sentence running your life and how to change it to something that gets you the results you want. I reveal a new event coming up that will teach you how to do this more in-depth, and show you how to pick a new sentence with intention.

Life Coach Live is a 3-day virtual event coming up in November 2022. You’ll get access to the cutting edge of all our latest work on life coaching and power sentences, and access to a new retreat we’re offering called Work Hard, Play Hard. To learn more and claim your seat, click here.

Where do you get your dopamine from?

For most of us, the answer ranges from food and alcohol to work accomplishments and working out.

Your brain naturally seeks rewards, and that’s a wonderful thing. But it can also be hindering your results when you seek it unintentionally from some of these places.

You get to decide where you seek rewards from and what you have desire for.

In this episode, I show you how to intentionally decide what to desire. It is completely within your power to choose to get dopamine from one activity over another, so why not choose the activity that brings you closer to the life you want? This week, I break it down so you can do just that.

17 years ago, the life coaching industry looked a lot different than it does today.

Coaches weren’t doing the magic we are now. They weren’t even calling themselves “life coaches.”

I got laughed at.

But fast forward 17 years and this industry has grown and flourished into a space where people are proud to call themselves life coaches, and they can make a huge impact doing so.

If you’ve thought about becoming a life coach one day or you’re ready to take that step now, listen in.

This week, I pull back the curtain on what we offer inside our Certification program. Learn why we have a reputation for being the best, the skills we teach you to be an effective coach, and how to get started on your career path as a coach.

You’re invited to Become a Coach Week, five days of free training on how to become a coach, make money as a coach, help your clients, and more. It’s all happening September 26-30th, 2022. Click here to register.

Why did you stop going to yoga?

When did you stop working out consistently?

Why didn’t you launch that program?

If you don’t know the answer, it’s probably because you quit behind your own back.

Humans do this sometimes. Our primitive, toddler brains love coming up with reasons to quit. And if we aren’t keeping an eye on it, that’s what we end up doing.

However, you won’t create the results you want in your life or business if you keep quietly quitting on yourself.

This week, I invite you to look at where you’ve been quietly quitting on your goals and why. I share the reason this happens and how to stop it. Find out how to prevent yourself from quietly quitting in the future so you can finally do the thing you’ve been wanting to do.

Would you rather receive $10 today or $15 next week?

What if you had to wait a month or even a year for that $15?

Most of us aren’t willing to wait because of a concept I call delay discounting.

Instead of delaying the instant gratification of earning money right now, overdrinking right now, or overeating right now, we discount the benefits of waiting.

This is stopping you from achieving your goals and creating the results you truly want deep down.

Listen in this week as I share what delay discounting is and how it’s hurting your results. Discover how to train your brain not to delay discount, why there’s no need to rush anything, and the amazing transformations and results future you will enjoy if you master this skill.

You know that feeling of anticipating being embarrassed? Or anticipating being scared or uncomfortable?

What about waking up and regretting everything you did and said the night before?

That’s anxiety, and like so many of you, I know it well.

Acting or not acting from your anxiety can look like canceling plans, denying yourself opportunities, or buffering in all types of ways.

But what would happen if you intentionally chose to experience your anxiety instead of trying to avoid it?

This week, I share how working on your self-awareness can improve your experience of anxiety and some ways you can do this. Learn how doing this work improves your work with your clients, and how to stop making decisions from your anxiety.

How badly do you want your dream?

Maybe you tell people how much you want it. Maybe you think about it all the time.

But thinking about your dream and telling people about it isn’t the same as believing you can have it.

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.

I want you to stop talking about it and start doing something about it.

Is it hard for you to feel proud of yourself?

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.

But it shouldn’t be this way.

You have so much to be proud of, and so do I.

This podcast has reached 400 episodes. That’s 400 weeks of you tuning in and me sharing what I know. And I am so proud of that.

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.

I am celebrating something huge on the podcast this week, something that warms my heart and makes me so excited to keep going.

Self Coaching Scholars has been in existence for 5 years!

For 5 years, we have been helping people lose weight, build their businesses, stop overdrinking, mend relationships, build confidence, and so much more.

In this week’s episode, I have invited five of my 5-Carat Diamonds, ladies that have been in Scholars since the start, on the show to share how being in Scholars has changed their lives. We talk about the tools that helped them the most, how to best utilize Scholars, and their advice for anyone new to the program or considering joining.

These five women are examples for all of us to see what is possible. You can create the life you want. You can be that next version of yourself. And Scholars will help you get there.

How good are you at selling? I don’t just mean in your business, I mean in your life and with yourself.

The skill of selling is super useful in every area of life. If you want to lose weight, you’ve got to sell yourself on not overeating. If you want to sit at the nicer table at a restaurant, you’ve got to sell the hostess on why it’s a good idea to seat you there.

My guest today is the one and only Stacey Boehman. Stacey is a master certified life and business coach who teaches life coaches how to sell.

From selling mops and cell phones to $15 million dollars worth of life coaching, Stacey is the person to talk to about sales.

In this episode, Stacey and I discuss why learning how to sell effectively is important for everyone, not just entrepreneurs. We talk about selling in terms of dating, how to sell yourself on being worthy, and how to get over your fear of rejection.

There are some people who work all the time and never rest. Other people rest constantly without working.

Somewhere in between is the sweet spot of working hard and resting when we need to.

But what if your laziness is stopping you from working at all?

Maybe you have goals, dreams, and work to do, but you don’t do it. This struggle is real, my friends, but I want you to know that being lazy is optional. It has no real use in our lives.

In this episode, I show you how to overcome your laziness once and for all. Learn how to know if you’re being lazy or truly resting, why we let ourselves be lazy, and how to finally start getting the work done without drama.

You always have the choice to stay in bed, not work out, and to buffer instead of taking action. But I invite you not to. Will you accept?

When someone tells me that the thing they want to do is hard, it doesn’t mean anything to me.

Seriously. It’s irrelevant.

Hard things are what make us stronger. You can’t become the person you want to be on Easy Street. Taking the easiest path isn’t impressive, my friends.

Doing hard things is a skill you can learn and practice, and when you do, you will be amazed at what you can achieve.

Listen in today to find out the secret to doing hard things, all the benefits doing hard things will bring, and how to generate motivation to do the hard thing right now. You are already extraordinary, and getting good at doing hard things lets you experience it. Go do some hard things.

When was the last time you let yourself be bored?

Usually, when we feel boredom coming on, we frantically look for something to entertain or occupy us. We pack our schedules full so we’re too busy to get bored. We shove devices into our kids’ hands to keep them entertained.

My friends, we are missing out on a massive opportunity when we do this.

Your life reveals itself to you when you take the time to notice it. But when we jump into busyness and entertainment anytime we’re bored, we don’t give ourselves this chance.

In this episode, I share why boredom is such a beautiful opportunity to assess your life and get to know yourself. I want you to use boredom and be open to what it shows you. I tell you how to intentionally practice being bored and how to stop trying to outrun it.

My hope is that you take some time this week to sit in your boredom and see what happens.

So what’s stopping you from joining for one month just to see what it’s all about? Can you imagine how much your life could change from just one month in Scholars?

Pause what you’re doing and look down at what you’re wearing. Do you feel confident?

If you wouldn’t want to be photographed in the clothes you tend to wear every day, you’re probably not showing up for yourself, your relationships, or your business the way you want to.

My guest today is the Professor of Glam and Elegance, Judith Gaton, and she helps her clients find and display their confidence through their style. Judith is a style coach for women, especially curvy women, and she’s also the author of How to Be a F*cking Lady.

Judith says that style is an outward expression of your thoughts and feelings about yourself. If you aren’t dressing confidently, you probably don’t feel confident. In today’s podcast, she shares exactly how to change that.

In this episode, Judith shares why style matters so much more than you think. She’s showing us where to start with finding your personal style, what to do if standard clothing sizes don’t fit you, and how to start showing up as the badass, confident, amazing person you are.

Do you keep trying to lose the same ten pounds over and over again? It’s said that the last ten pounds are the hardest to lose, but maybe you’re starting to wonder if it’s even possible for you.

From my personal experience and the experience of today’s guest, I know that it is 100% possible for you. But not when it comes from a place of hurry, anxiety, and self-hatred.

Brenda Lomeli is an incredible master certified life coach, holistic nutrition specialist, and creator of The Last 10™ Method. Her simple, smart, and comprehensive method helps empower women to put an end to their struggle with food and dieting and achieve their desired weight loss unapologetically.

A woman after my own heart, Brenda is a self-proclaimed rule-breaker who helps her clients break society’s rules for women’s bodies so they too can live a life of pleasure and ease.

In this episode, Brenda and I break down why it’s so hard to lose those last 10 pounds when you come from a place of hate, and what happens when you come from a place of love instead. We talk about how Brenda’s program is unique and why she focuses on deconditioning her client’s diet mentality in addition to learning how to listen to their bodies. You are the authority on your body, and Brenda’s work teaches you how to act like it.

The foundation of what we teach in Self Coaching Scholars is the Model, a tried and true method of bringing awareness to your thoughts and creating the life you want.

In its purest form, the Model is a powerful tool for dropping deeper into your life.

We get lots of questions about the Model. How long does it take to believe a new thought? How strict should you be with what goes in the lines? How do you use an intentional model?

I thought it would be super helpful to answer some of the most commonly asked questions we get here on the podcast.

Tune in today to gain a deeper understanding of the Model and how to use this amazing tool to create the results you want. Even if you’re well-versed in the Model and use it often, this episode will advance your understanding so you can use it even more effectively.

The Model has been life-changing for so many people, myself included. I can’t wait for you to dig deeper into this tool and start seeing the results it helps you produce.

When we see women who look like us excelling, we believe that it is possible for us to succeed as well. It’s why representation in every industry is so important.

The amazing women on the podcast today are setting this example for younger Latinx generations all over the world. They have each come into their own success as coaches with Latinx backgrounds and I am so excited to share our discussion here today.

From generational wealth to weight loss as immigrants to the United States, we cover a lot in this episode. But it all comes back to one thing: allowing yourself to be yourself.

Listen in today for my conversation with six Latinx life coaches on their experiences rising in this industry and why representation matters so much. We explore how each of them found coaching, the unique obstacles they faced as women of color, and why even if you try to not be who you are, it will still seep out.

Remember, you get to decide who you will become. These ladies decided to be successful while being themselves, and you can too.

Our desires are important. They are the map to follow to our best life. But often what we think we want is convoluted by social expectations and programming.

Paying attention to your true desire is easier said than done. We’ve all desired things that weren’t good for us or didn’t contribute to who we wanted to be. For some of us, it’s alcohol, for others, it’s gambling, porn, or something else.

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?

These are the types of questions I answer in today’s episode. Paying attention to what we truly desire is one of the most important things we can do. Listen in to find out about the difference between false and true desires, and between manufacturing and allowing desire.

Once you understand these tools, there’s nothing stopping you from creating your dream life.

So, when no one’s watching and there’s no judgment, what is your truest desire?

We may be all isolated in our own homes, but we’re going through a lot of the same struggles. So today, I’m sharing one of my recent coaching calls to offer you all a little insight from inside Scholars.

Let me start by telling you something: the human experience is not supposed to be a vacation.

Don’t be surprised when there are struggles and challenges. That’s how life was intended to be. How we respond to the challenges and move through them is what matters.

In this episode, we discuss backlash for selling in “a time like this,” taking social distancing to a whole other level, and anticipating a financial storm that hasn’t even happened yet. We all love watching people struggle in books and movies, but we don’t want to experience it ourselves. But, guess what? This is the human experience! And it’s beautiful!

We’re moving into a new phase of episodes to help you cope and thrive during the ongoing uncertainty. Over the next several days, I’ll be posting episodes in the Moving Forward series about how to do just that.

This is not the time to procrastinate, hold back, or shut down. It’s a time to act.

When we don’t know how to manage our emotions, they can consume our lives. They make focusing on work difficult, especially if you’re now working from home. Many of us will turn to unhealthy habits to take the place of coping with our emotions. There are no benefits to this.

I’m going to use this episode series to show you how working through your emotions can make you more productive than ever before. No more excuses. Be brave and face them. Don’t get stuck in the past.

The feedback I’ve received from the Handling Chaos series is amazing and I’m going to be using some of your questions and insights in the upcoming episodes. I’ll also be including insights from my Self Coaching Scholars coaches on how they’re helping their clients manage their emotions so they can perform at their best.

We’re done being panicked and scared. Let’s move forward.

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.

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.

I’m going to use these episodes to remind you that without thoughts, there is no fear. To offer that this is an opportunity to move closer to fear or away from it. To move closer to love or away from it. And to give you permission to feel calm right now and ask how you can help.

This is a time for us coaches to do our best work. I’ve asked my coaches for their best tips and coaching, which I will share with all of you in the coming episodes. I will also be sharing some of my coaching sessions from Scholars on the podcast to help any of you who may be experiencing the same thoughts.

Let’s start putting our minds to positive contribution to our life.

I get a lot of questions about The Life Coach School, so I’ve been bringing them to the podcast to answer 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.

There are four components in my business model, and in this episode I’ll run you through each one: marketing, Self Coaching Scholars, Coach Certification, and overdelivering.

You’ll learn about why I work so hard to find people who need the Model, the value that clients get from Scholars, and why I’ve kept my offerings narrow. There’s a lot more than that to dig into in this episode, so whether you’re just starting out in business or running something bigger than The Life Coach School, there will be something here for you.

If you have any follow-up questions about the business, send them to [email protected] – I will do another episode so all your business-related questions are answered!

We all buffer in some ways. Many of us have big buffers, like overdrinking, overeating, or people-pleasing. Some of us have worked through one layer of buffering just to discover a new one. I know that’s the case for me, even though I tolerate a lot less than I used to.

We buffer with things like food, alcohol, and other distractions because they make life more bearable. But on the other side of the buffering is some really important information that you’re going to want access to if you’re planning on creating the life you really want.

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.

When do you feel powerful? For me, I feel powerful when I’m making decisions. When I’m turning my ideas into reality. When I’m managing my mind and choosing how to react to the world.

I think most of society has power backward. We think that power comes from outside, from bossing people around, from ascending to some special position. But true power must be generated from within. And it’s something that all of us are capable of doing.

In today’s episode, I’m talking about how to cultivate your personal 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.

Feeling empowered is a cornerstone of a successful fulfilling life, but you have to set out to create power for yourself—not wait for someone else to give it to you.

I feel so proud of the fact that we’ve made it to episode 300. And I’m blessed to be able to show up in your ears every week, and that you share your time and your lives with me. So to celebrate, for the first time in the history of the show, I wanted to replay an episode.

I thought it would be fun to circle back to the first-ever episode of the podcast. I thought that things would be really different, but really, so much is the same. The Brooke of episode 1 even taught the Brooke of episode 300 a thing or two.

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.

Thank you so much for doing this with me every week. Here’s to 300 more!

If you had to choose between feeling pain now or later, which one would you pick? Most of us choose pain later, whether we do so consciously or not. We’d rather buffer away our pain with work, food, alcohol or some other distraction than face it.

Pain is a part of life, my friends. It’s part of what makes us human, and it helps us evolve. So today I want to make a case for why you should always choose to feel pain now instead of later.

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.

There is so much unnecessary suffering around overdrinking. People define themselves by their urges to drink, or strain against these urges so much that there isn’t much space left in their brain for anything else.

What if I told you your life could be genuinely better without drinking? That you could eliminate the desire for a drink altogether?

I know it sounds impossible. I used to think so too.

So many of us don’t think we need treatment or to stop drinking because we don’t have an addiction, it hasn’t had any negative effects on our health, or we don’t drink around our family. But I know a lot of you experience alcohol the same way I did. It wasn’t a social thing for me—it became my recovery from a long day of work or a particularly stressful situation. And it was happening every single day.

In today’s episode, Rachel Hart and I are talking all about the urge to drink, how and why we both stopped drinking alcohol, and why the key to changing your relationship with alcohol is learning to manage your mind. We also talk through some of the common obstacles people come up against when trying to take a break, and how to take a break from drinking that actually addresses the root causes of your desire.

I was chatting with a friend recently about a mindset shift for over-drinking, over-eating, and any other habits that you no longer want to be part of your life.

This shift can feel subtle, but it will have a big impact on your ability to close the circle, move on from these behaviors, and create ones you actually want in your life.

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.

Instead of thinking about how much you’re missing out on if you don’t drink, eat sugar, or date anymore, thinking of yourself as completing a natural process feels like freedom, instead of lack.

This week, I’m excited to talk to one of my favorite students and weight loss coaches, Natalie Brown.

Natalie, like many women, started out early on the hamster wheel of dieting and spent most of her youth chasing the idea of “skinny = happy.” After struggling for many years, she embarked on the journey of discovering mind work (and coaching), finding the reasons behind her overhunger and overdesire for food, and losing 50 pounds.

Join us on this fun interview as Natalie shares her journey of weight loss and pulls back the curtain on what it’s like to be a weight loss coach. We also explore some of the biggest struggles Natalie’s clients deal with when it comes to losing weight and what you can do if you find yourself in similar situations.

If you’re ready to lose weight for the last time and would like to work with Natalie in a small group setting, visit https://itbeginswithathought.com.

Discomfort is the currency to your dreams.

If you’ve been listening to my podcast, I’m sure you’ve heard me say those words more than once. And what I mean by that is that in order for you to grow into the next version of yourself, you’re going to be uncomfortable.

You will not be in your familiar surroundings, thinking the same familiar thoughts, and experiencing familiar emotions if you are pushing yourself beyond your current comfort zone.

Today, I’m excited to explore this topic in more detail and talk to you about two types of discomfort – one that moves you forward and makes your stronger, and the other that holds you back and stunts your growth.

Join me as I show you how you can distinguish between the type of discomfort that serves you, and type that doesn’t, and explain what you can do in order to get yourself on the right track to your goals.

Most of us live life on default. We live off the programming of our upbringing and our society.

We don’t live a conscious, deliberate life.

It is only when you start doing thought work and coaching yourself that you begin using the most important tool given to you – your mind – to its fullest capacity.

Today, we’re going deeper into the topic of thought work and take a look at the key skills you need to learn in order do what I call “superthinking” – the highest level of thinking to achieve anything you want in life. We also revisit the main attributes of good mental hygiene and then dive into the ins and outs of exactly what it means to be in full control of your mind.

Quick disclaimer: This episode contains some explicit language. Please plan accordingly if you plan on listening to it around kids.

Overall, I think a lot of the work I do around body image is misunderstood. So today, I invited one of my students, Master Certified Coach Kara Loewentheil, who specializes in this topic to set the record straight and help me explore this subject in depth.

It’s easy to get caught up in what you think you’re “supposed” to look like in order to be worthy, to be lovable, but Kara and I are going to break down why feelings of self loathing don’t go away even when you lose a lot of weight without doing the work on your thoughts.

Join us today for a candid conversation on how society conditions women to view their bodies, why you can’t hate yourself thin, and what you can do to start loving your body the way that it is right now and overcome the dissatisfaction a lot of us have with our bodies.

For anyone who wants to lose weight or just wants to be okay in your current body, you should definitely attend Kara’s UnF*ck Your Body Image Masterclass on Jan 6^th, 2019 before you embark on that journey.

Listen to the Uncut Version of this Episode:

I am someone who has had her share of depression… I’ve had experience with clients who have been depressed, as well as a mother and a grandmother who have been “clinically” depressed.

Oftentimes, people have a lot of shame about their depression which leads them down the rabbit hole of feeling even more hopeless in their lives and can lead to self loathing.

This week, we explore what depression is all about, why so many people get stuck in it, and why it’s so difficult for them to get out of it.  I also explain how you can use The Self Coaching Model to better navigate this difficult time of your life.

Join me for proven tools, tips, and strategies to help you get out of the loop of thought errors and negativity and into a loop of positivity and empowerment. Don’t miss this opportunity to break the endless cycle of depression and exhausting negativity, or at the very least feel a little bit better.

Over the past five years, I have had more success than I ever thought possible. So on this episode of “Lessons from,” I decided to do something a bit different…

Today, I want to share my experience of the success that I have achieved through applying The Model in all areas of my life and business. Join me as I talk about my money mindset, dealing with advice from others, the reason why we should always continue growing, and other important lessons I learned from my personal success.

If we look at our brain’s function at a very basic level, our brain is full of neurons, also called nerve cells, that don’t touch each other. The way these neurons communicate with each other is through neurotransmitters, also referred to as the body’s chemical messengers.

In this episode, we take an in-depth look at the five main neurotransmitters—dopamine, serotonin, oxytocin, endorphin, and cortisol—how they evolved over time and how they affect our brain and nervous system. I explain how this “software” happens to be programmed in a way that often makes us think that there’s something wrong with us.

Join us to discover why you do what you do—often seemingly unwillingly—and why you then use those natural tendencies of your brain against yourself. Tune in to find out exactly how neurotransmitters affect your urges, desires, needs for connection (even if it’s at your own expense), and how you can utilize them for your benefit rather than being at the effect of them.

“Treat yourself like someone you are responsible for helping.”

– Jordan Peterson

This week, I want to talk to you about something that most of us do and are usually quite confused about, believing that we have no control over it. I’m talking about self sabotage.

Self sabotage is a way that we react to our emotions. It is something we do to ourselves consciously rather than something that just happens to us and it comes from a place of fear.

So knowing that this is within our control, how do we stop the vicious spiral of disrupting our progress toward our goals and dreams?

On this episode of The Life Coach School, we take a look at three different ways you may be sabotaging yourself on a regular basis and how you can figure out exactly why you’re doing it. Listen in to find out how you can kick self sabotage to the curb and take control of your life and your future.

Most people do not like to feel discomfort.

The reason why we are not as far as we’d like to be with our goals – whether it’s weight-loss, quitting drinking, building a business – is because we have chosen not to be uncomfortable.

Changing and doing new things is very uncomfortable.

It is uncomfortable to risk rejection and experience failure.

However, doing these hard things and experiencing discomfort is THE ONLY road to success.

Join me this week as we take a look at the two types of discomfort we can experience and explore the power of experiencing the type of discomfort that comes with growing on purpose.

This week, on The Life Coach School podcast, I’m excited to continue our conversation with Shira Gill. Last week, we talked about how so many of us look at our problems (organization and clutter specifically) as so big and insurmountable that we often can’t simply take the first step to solving them. We also covered the importance of making small, vital changes in our lives and how to actually begin that journey.

Today, we dive deeper into the topic of organization and take a look at why it matters (not just so you can have a clean house but also for so many other reasons) and why you should consider putting your energy into organizing your life and home. Join us as we discuss general idea of the organization and a talk about Shira’s incredible new program, why I think it matters, and why every single one of you should consider joining and going through her process.

This week, I’m super excited to do something fun that we haven’t done on The Life Coach School Podcast in a while. I’m going to read some of the responses from our listeners and answer some of the questions that you guys have sent in.

I teach a lot of concepts that are difficult for people to really wrap their heads around. They are so counter-intuitive to the way that we’ve been taught since our childhood.

So in this episode, I answer the questions that address your struggle to fully understand and accept the concepts that I teach and touch on your objections to them.

Get your earbuds, get comfy, and enjoy this Q & A episode!

Most people spend too much time thinking and talking about their problems and the effects of those problems. This makes these problems overcomplicated, dragged out, and extremely tedious.

Over the past 10 or so years, I’ve had the pleasure to work on my own, for myself. And in this period of working on my business, having to rely on myself and solve my own problems, I feel like I’ve developed a skill of being able to find a solution to problems a lot quicker than most people.

On this episode, I want to share a simple philosophy that will help you tremendously when looking for simple solutions to most complex problems. Tune in as I outline a step-by-step process that you can use to solve any problem quickly and effectively.

So many of us struggle with self-discipline, our follow-through, and our integrity because of our conditioning to work for some sort of symbol of approval from someone else. We’ve been conditioned to show up to get a gold star, A+, or a paycheck. And on the other hand, we’re not used to being consistent and achieving something over the long term, even if there’s no short-term reward.

This week, I want to talk to you about a concept – a powerful coaching tool –  that I came up with to help my clients start thinking about themselves in a different way and start honoring their own plans.

I call it the Minimum Baseline.

On this episode, I explain why having a minimum baseline is crucial to creating meaningful and consistent change in your life and how you can get started today.

Don’t miss this opportunity to completely transform your relationship with yourself and trust that you will follow through with any commitment to yourself, no matter what.

This week, I want to talk to you about how to overcome shyness.

If you consider yourself shy, you’re surely familiar with being overwhelmed being around others, feeling uncomfortable, timid, and insecure.

For those of you who view shyness as a character trait that cannot be changed, I bring you good news: It can absolutely be changed. And in this episode, I will show you exactly how you can do it.

Join me as I share some of the skills I use to work around these issues of shyness and what you can begin doing today to start to enjoy social interactions a lot more.

Listen in to discover how you can make yourself more pleasant, warm, and friendly when you meet new people, feel more confident, and leave your shyness behind.

As a bonus, for those who are interested to learn more about my business and how I run it, make sure to stay tuned after the main topic.

Today, I’m very excited to talk to you about my plans for 2018, and also, share my thoughts about the importance of planning ahead.

I think that way too many of you are locked into reacting to your lives, feeling out of control, and not planning. One of the reasons why you don’t plan your year ahead of time is because you’re afraid of failing and you’re way too caught up in the “how” of things instead of thinking about the “what.”

In this episode, I want to talk to you about being a future-focused person who has gratitude ahead of time as I share everything that I’m going to accomplish in 2018 and in the near future.

December is the perfect time to reflect on what you did last year and to plan where you will be at this time next year. So let’s do this work together and make 2018 the best year possible!

This week, I’m excited to talk to you about an exercise that will help you make strides in your life and business.

I am a firm believer in at least once a year reflecting back and reviewing your year to ask yourself whether you accomplished what you wanted and what you learned from everything that transpired to help you decide what you want to do next year.

On this episode, I show you how I conduct my year in review on the business side of things (since that’s the area that has experienced the most dramatic growth for me) and share how I use that information to help me start the next year with momentum and planned success.

Join me as I guide you through the process of doing your year in review to help you figure out how you can have the best year ever in 2018.

This month on the podcast, and in Self Coaching Scholars, we’re working on emotional management. The main idea behind this practice is that life presents us with neutral circumstances and we choose to interpret them positively or negatively, which creates a full range of human experience.

On the first session of this series, we’re taking a deep dive into the neutrality of circumstances and why ANYTHING that happens in the world is neither inherently bad nor good. I explain why you must develop the skill of being able to interpret any situation that comes up and the immense benefits you can expect as a result.

Grab your earbuds and listen in below to find out how you can use each circumstance to either serve your life or detract from it.

Of all the things we can spend our money on, mental health needs to be at the top of our list… Not our car, our house, vacations or entertainment.

Our mental health determines how we feel, what we create, and how we perceive the world around us.

On this episode of The Life Coach School, I want to share my personal coaching experience as a client, as well as some of the biggest takeaways and epiphanies I had with each one of my coaches.

Having a coach changed my life because it helped me get the perspective I can’t get from being inside my own head and my own life. And on this episode, I explain why coaching needs to be your priority if you’re the type of person who wants to grow.

This week on The Life Coach School Podcast, I’m answering the questions that you’ve sent in over the past few months.

Join me as I talk through listener issues on topics like choosing an ideal partner, dealing with rejection, parenting, commitments to yourself, relationships, and many others.

Regardless of whether you are in the Self Coaching Scholars program or not, if you’re studying this material and you want to master The Self Coaching Model, I’d like for you to answer these listener questions for yourself before you listen to my answers. Pause the podcast as you hear each question, run The Model on it, and try to figure it out.

If you’re in Self Coaching Scholars, you already know that during the month of July, we’re working on changing our past. In our most downloaded episode to date, episode 33, we begin this conversation of making positive change. This week, we go deeper into this topic and look at how you interpret your past (anything that happened up until this moment) and use it to define yourself.

This approach of focusing on your past is highly unproductive as it keeps you stuck in the same place. Listen in as I explain how you can begin defining yourself by your future instead of your past in order to create new results in your life.

Here’s a short message from my book about the past to help you get started:

“It’s time to turn your head around and start focusing on the road ahead. The past is over and gone; you cannot go back there and change it or be younger again. Your past set you up to be the person you are today. Love it for what it did and say goodbye. It’s time to get excited about your future.”

I feel like self-confidence is something that everyone wants but not everyone is actively trying to create.

What is it about self-confidence that makes it an attractive feeling, a way of being, and ultimately, an identity trait? Where does self-confidence come from and how can we show others that we’re well-liked?

On this episode of The Life Coach School podcast, I answer these questions and take a deep dive into the topic of having and developing an unshakable confidence in ourselves. I also explain why most of us lack self-confidence and what we can do in order to increase that seemingly elusive character trait.

We have many expectations when it comes to our life partners.

We believe that our mates complete us and make us happy. They must also make us attracted, turned on, and in love. And if our mates don’t do it right, we get mad.

Does that sound familiar?

The expectations we put on our mates are simply ridiculous. It is always our job to feel happy, loved, and in love!

On this episode of The Life Coach School, I share 20 ideas on how you can be a better mate to your significant other. These tips will not only make your partner feel infinitely loved but also make you feel like you have the most amazing relationship ever.

“Do it badly; do it slowly; do it fearfully; do it any way you have to, but do it.”

― Steve Chandler, Reinventing Yourself: How to Become the Person You’ve Always Wanted to Be

On this “Lessons Learned” episode, I chose to cover the work of one of my teachers, Steve Chandler – a self-help coach and a bestselling author known as an America’s notoriously unorthodox personal growth guru. Over the course of his career, he has written over 30 self-help books and has helped thousands of people change their lives and level up their businesses.

I’m really excited to share with you some of Steve’s teachings on the importance of coaching, time management, dealing with fear, the power of the language we use, worry, and much more!

I highly encourage you to pick up any of Steve Chandler’s books.

As we kick off the new month of Self Coaching Scholars on the topic of time management, we begin focusing on the work that will literally change your life. Over the next four episodes, we’re taking a deep dive into deliberately creating and managing time.

Naturally, we have an inborn resistance to deliberate time management.

We believe that spontaneity, and being able to react and not have plans somehow creates a more free life.

This couldn’t be farther from the truth.

The more you plan – the freer you will be. Period.

On this episode, we explore a number of tools and techniques that will help you create more time in our daily lives. From the importance of honoring our commitments to ourselves and saying “no” to multitasking, trying, and distractions, we cover everything you need to know to make time for the things that matter most.

We cover a lot of ground in this podcast. So if you haven’t yet joined the Self Coaching Scholars, make sure you grab a pen and some paper and ready to take some notes!

Many of us think that we are always at the effect of our lives.

We think that life just happens to us. However, what The Self-Coaching Model teaches us is that we are really at the cause of our lives, whether we recognize it or not.

As we’re working through the first phase of The Model, we talk quite a bit about uncovering what is really going on in our minds – our current thought patterns that create our current feelings that drive our actions.

The second phase of The Model is to then think deliberately and create thoughts on purpose so we can better manage our emotions, our actions, and the results in our lives.

On this episode, I pull back the curtain on how the thought creation process works and share some game-changing tools that will surely help you change your thoughts  and, in turn,  help you create an extraordinary life.

This week, I want to talk about something that I see quite a bit in my clients—apathy. I often notice my clients slipping into this state of indifference without even noticing that they are doing it.

They start with big ideas, great goals, and things they want in their lives. They get really excited about them and work their butts off, and next thing you know, they start thinking, “Screw this… I don’t want to deal with it.” They get apathetic about their vision for a period of time, and when they come out, they are full of regret about stopping the creative process and feel like they are always behind.

This vicious cycle is one of the biggest “dream stealers” on the way to self improvement.

The constant mental state of apathy has become “normal” for so many people around the world. They feel “safe” not having to risk anything or experience failure on the way to their dreams. It’s as if those people have already given up on life…

Join me as we pull back the curtain on this epidemic of apathy that is leading so many people nowhere in their lives. Discover the best course of action to reignite your drive and embark on the most rewarding journey of your life!

Many of my clients believe that hope is a positive emotion and a concept. However, the way they think about hope and use it in their lives actually hurts them.

Hope is deceptive.

Hope doesn’t inspire action.

Being hopeful comes from the place of lack and scarcity.

For most people, hope causes them to wait for things to happen to them rather than going out and creating those things for themselves.

Tune to this week’s episode for a healthy dose of motivation and inspiration to help take your life into your own hands and create the life that you want to live.

After listening to this episode, I hope that you stop hoping and “go get it”!

As we move into the month of February, we’re kicking off a new series of podcasts on the topic of emotion.

In this particular episode, we’re talking about something that most of us have experienced, probably more than once in our lives: self pity.

Self pity is one of the most detrimental emotions that robs so many of us of taking action, as well as of our accomplishments. Sadly, most of the time, we don’t even know that we’re indulging in this self indulgent and useless emotion. It keeps us from being mentally strong.

Join us this week to discover how you can dramatically improve your life by kicking the habit of feeling sorry for yourself and how you can get started on that much-needed journey.

Listen in below!

Welcome to the 150^th episode of The Life Coach School!

Today, I have a special treat for you…

Not too long ago, I received an email from one of my listeners, Jake, telling me about how he and his girlfriend, Whitney, listen to the podcast together and apply everything that they’ve learned. He shared how they were falling in love and developing their relationship while listening to this show and discussing it together.

I think so many of us in our relationships don’t talk about deep subjects – what it’s like to feel our emotions and what’s really going on in our minds. And I think it’s absolutely beautiful and rare to find a couple like Jake and Whitney.

In his email, Jake said he wanted to propose to Whitney and asked for my help. Of course, I agreed right away.

So this episode is the result of our plan to help Jake propose.

I’m not going to tell you much more; you’re just going to have to listen in to find out how it all went down…

Have you ever wondered how successful people built up enough confidence to accomplish great things in their lives?

The reason why I’m always pushing you to evolve and asking you to set and keep commitments to yourself in my podcasts is because of the immense benefits that come with this self-improvement journey.  One of the important benefits of this personal evolution is confidence.

On this fourth and final episode of our mini-series of resilience, we dig into exactly how people become confident and the role adversity plays in this process.

Join me this week for some important actionable advice that will surely help you get to the end goal of any of your commitments.

I think it’s amazing that we, as human beings, have the privilege to believe whatever we want. Beliefs that cause pain, joy, or any of the emotions in between.

No one can tell us what to believe about ourselves, what we’re capable of, or what our life is about. We get to decide what we want to believe—it’s the concept of mind over matter.

On this third part of our four-part series on the topic of resilience, we take a look at the types of beliefs that support perseverance and keep us from giving up on our goals.

Join us to find out what makes us stay true to our commitment and discover the questions that will help keep you moving toward your goal until you reach your desired results.

“It’s a slow process, but quitting won’t speed it up.”

There’s only a very small percentage of people in the world that work on making commitments and following through, increasing their confidence, and increasing their resilience in order to create results they want in their life. Most people simply live by default, in their comfort zone, waiting and see what happens to them.

Some people get an idea of something that they want (and believe they can have) but never commit to it. Another thing people do is make commitments, write down goals, and then constantly quit.

On this second part of our conversation about resilience, we’re talking about the habit of quitting something that you’ve previously committed to and how that becomes a dangerous learned skill. We get into the thoughts and feelings involved in the process of quitting and how many of us justify giving up on our commitments.

Don’t miss this episode’s actionable steps that you can start using today to remove quitting as an option from your daily life and achieve your goals!

I’ve recently discovered that one of the strongest indicators of success is resilience.

During our conversation with my life coaching students about what might be the difference between being successful and unsuccessful in the coaching business, we talked about three main things – desire, belief, and commitment. And commitment and resilience happen to be really close to each other.

Resilience is the effect of a compelling reason to complete something, and commitment is the start to that compelling reason.

Today, we delve into the topic of commitment and what it takes to make it so solid that your success is inevitable. Listen in to discover what commitment and telling yourself “no” can do for your success and how a compelling reason can help you gather all the strength you need on the way to your commitment.

I’m sure at some point in our lives we’ve all felt let down by someone else.

When we feel let down, more often than not, we develop opinions, stories, and pain around whatever information we may have without having the full story. Many times, this causes unnecessary hurt and anger, and even ruins important relationships that we’ve worked so hard to build.

On this episode, I pull back the curtain on why so many of us stick to our guns (so we can always be “right”), instead of being able to have adult discussions about what really is going on when we feel let down.

Join me as I explain how we can create forward movement and continue our evolution into a better version of ourselves when these things happen, as well as how we can make light of these awkward happenings and stay in the place where we can find our own shortcomings.

So get your earbuds in and turn up the volume! You won’t want to miss this opportunity to learn about the true power of being let down and how you can use it to create new opportunities for growth.

So many of us have accepted a life that is not to our liking – a life that includes too many things that cause us an enormous amount of trouble that we don’t know how to manage. This causes us to live in a reactive mode, feeling like we’re at the mercy of our own lives.

I’ve been getting a lot of feedback from my podcast listeners and students about what they’ve learned from me. And one of the things that I’ve noticed is that people understand what it means to consume the concepts that I teach, but they are not great at applying and practicing them.

In this episode, I would like to fill in that gap between the knowledge of self-help topics that many of us have and the practice that’s required to apply it to achieve the end product of the life that we ultimately want.

One of the things that I’ve been teaching to my students extensively lately is the art of living deliberately. What that requires is deciding how we want to live our lives and then practicing living our lives that way.

There are only a few components that go into the study of ourselves and how we interact with our lives. And if we make it a consistent practice to study, plan, prepare, and show up in the world how we want to show up and be the way we want to be, then we can live a life that is much closer to the ideal that we have in our minds.

Tune into this episode to find out how you can begin this much-needed journey of studying yourself.

“The starting point of all achievement is DESIRE. Keep this constantly in mind. Weak desire brings weak results, just as a small fire makes a small amount of heat.”

― Napoleon Hill, Think and Grow Rich

It is time again for another “Lessons from” show about one of the teachers who had a great impact on my life and teachings of my own.

Today, we’re taking a look at the work of Napoleon Hill, an American author of personal-success literature who has written one of the greatest success books of all times – Think and Grow Rich.

Tune in as we take a deep dive into Napoleon’s Think and Grow Rich by looking at some of the best ideas and quotes from the book and discuss those concepts in detail.

This introduction to Napoleon Hill’s work is full of incredible wisdom on the topics of success and achievement and is sure to help you take full possession of your mind.

During our recent Master Coach retreat, we talked a lot about buffering, eliminating buffering from our reality, and living a buffer-free life. That got me thinking about another powerful concept that I would like to share with you this week…

For many of you, an un-buffered life will feel like you can’t go on.

It will feel intolerable, boring, make you angry, or even terrify you. And unless you have the ability to manage your emotional life, you will go right back to buffering.

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. Join us for an in-depth step-by-step guide on how you can learn to feel on purpose, live the life you deserve, and create anything you want in your life.

Something that I’ve been talking a lot about with my Stop Overeating and Stop Overdrinking clients lately is pain and how we overindulge in things that give us artificial pleasure in order to avoid it.

Avoiding pain is normal.

It’s something that’s hardwired into us since birth in order to keep us alive.

However, in our modern society, avoiding pain hurts us much more than it helps us. It creates more pain and suffering in our lives. It even denies us the experience of a fully alive human being.

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 also explain how these compulsive and irrational thought loops have shown up (and are still showing up) in my life.

Get your earbuds and listen in as I give you some tools that you can start using today to surmount the compulsive and irrational thinking that often drains us of our energy and redirect this energy to the things that truly matter in life.

Along the theme of the past few podcasts about evolving and going after the hard things in life, I’m answering a few important questions that are sure to sell you on this concept:

Why does growing matter?

Why bother with the hard things in life like stopping overdrinking or overeating?

Why bother starting and growing a business or being more kind to people?

In this important episode, we take a look at the benefits of self improvement 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 improvement that will come from an internal place and evolve you in a cognitive and emotional way.

And after listening to this episode, I want you to ask yourself this question: “Why should I grow, go to the next level, and pursue the next goal?” and leave your answers in the comments below.

As I’ve mentioned in the previous episode, lately, I’ve been focusing on the question of why we should practice and value self control, self discipline, willpower, and aim to achieve our dreams.

Why does achieving your dreams matter?

That question is extremely important because if we don’t achieve our dreams, what’s the alternative?

In this episode, we continue our exploration of the pursuit of well being and how hedonism, or 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.

Over the past couple of episodes, I’ve been focusing on the idea of why we should bother with doing all of this hard work – feeling negative emotions and pursuing the life free of “yummy,” false pleasures. And today, we continue this with this important topic and dig into how well-being stacks up against pleasure.

You might want to substitute the word “happiness” instead of “well-being” here if that word resonates with you more. However, for me “well-being” is a lot more in line with what I’m aiming for in my life.

Join us as 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.

So get your earbuds in, click “play,” and get ready to get transformed! Believe me… you won’t want to miss this important episode.

I talk a lot about the idea of buffering and how it is one of those things that we do in order to not fully experience our lives. And the reason why we don’t want to face the truth of our lives is because we don’t want to experience any type of negative emotion.

We feel entitled to feel happiness and pleasure all of the time.

Here’s a little secret: Constantly feeling pleasure and happiness is not natural.

Part of the reason for this is because we’re constantly bombarded with ways to feel pleasure: “You should go eat something. You should go buy something. You should go drink something. You should go pay for something that will bring your pleasure.”

So 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.

“Nothing can be more functional than an internal warning system among people. And nothing can be more dysfunctional than to ignore the warning or take the edge off.”

– Marianne Williamson

I recently learned about a new concept from Marianne Williamson’s book, Tears to Triumph. This concept made me scream with delight when I discovered it, and I’m really excited to share it with you!

Today, most of us have a sense of entitlement to inappropriate pleasure and comfort in our lives.

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.

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.

One of the biggest mistakes my students make is that they expect to have a skill of a master just because they learned a tool.

An old-school lesson that I have to teach pretty regularly is that in the beginning of using any tool, you’ll be slow and will make a lot of mistakes; and if you try to rush through it, you’ll create really sloppy work. You need to practice using those tools until they become second nature.

Before you jump into this episode I want you to understand the difference between learning a tool and developing a skill with that tool. I can’t stress enough the importance of repeatedly practicing using tools we discussed in the last episode until you’re ready to move on to the advanced concepts laid out in this episode. With that said, I’m really excited to dive deep into these concepts that can change your life!

As I was preparing for our upcoming advanced life coach training, I realized that in order to understand the basics of life coaching, you have to understand the tools and know how to use them. This is similar to a beginner carpenter who absolutely must get familiar with and understand how to use all of the tools in his tool belt in order to become good at his craft.

In my initial trainings, introducing people to life coaching tools is one of the most gratifying things I can do, because trying to live your life without tools, just as trying to build a house without tools, is nearly impossible.

Many of us are not taught any cognitive or emotional tools in our lifetimes. We simply don’t have a tool belt that helps us manage how we feel, how we think, and therefore what we do.

On this episode, I introduce and talk about the tools that we use at The Life Coach School. When you learn these tools and start applying them, your life will inevitably change and you will be able to obtain increased awareness and empowerment.

No matter if you’re a coach and you’ve been with The Life Coach School since episode 1 (this will be a great review for you) or if you haven’t been introduced to our tools yet, you won’t want to miss this episode!

Make sure to tune in next week for the detailed explanation of the advanced skills I teach at The Life Coach School.

Since I’ve launched The Life Coach School podcast, I’ve had an overwhelming amount of requests for an episode on the topic of stopping overdrinking. This week, I’m really excited to invite you along on a journey to help you get your drinking under control.

In this first part of the 3-part mini-series on how to stop overdrinking, I’m sharing my backstory and why I decided to put this resource together for you. Then, we move into why we drink, why we like alcohol, why we have it in our lives, why it’s important to us, and how it affects our brain. If you’re looking to either cut back on your alcohol consumption or lose your desire to drink altogether, this episode is for you!

Make sure to tune into part two of this series next week, where we’ll be talking about why some of us want to cut back and reduce our drinking, and why, for some of us, it’s so challenging.

One of the things that I noticed when working with clients with post-traumatic stress is that they have a really difficult time getting past it. Post-traumatic stress is a type of a reaction that happens after a certain kind of trauma, which is totally normal. However, so many of my clients come to me 10, or even 20, years later, still suffering from it.

On this episode of The Life Coach School, we tackle the topic that surrounds personal growth after serious trauma: post-traumatic growth. I wanted to do this episode in honor of those folks who have gone through events that have been incredibly painful and difficult; and at the same time, for those who haven’t experienced great trauma but want to use the techniques we discuss here to help them grow.

Join us for an exploration of the incredible possibilities that can open up for those willing to do the work and become the hero of their story. Discover how you can set off on your post-traumatic journey and develop a deeper relationship with yourself and become a new, better, and stronger version of yourself.

If you’ve been listening to The Life Coach School podcast for a while, you probably already know that I love money. I openly talk about it and often freak people out.

I strongly believe that when you have a lot of money, you can do so many things, including making a positive impact on the world and helping others end their suffering.

On this episode, we cover the topic of making money, as well as the importance of adopting a new mindset conducive to increasing your earnings. Tune in as I share my personal story and background that helped me form my abundance mindset and explain how you too can exceed what you thought was “normal” for you in terms of how much you can earn.

“We can’t create a new future while we’re living in our past. It’s simply impossible.”

The concept that I have been working with lately quite a bit is one of being able to feel grateful for something that you believe you are going to have in your future. It’s the idea that you visualize your future and what you want to have in your life and then you visualize how you would feel as if you already had it.

Join us as I explain the immense benefits of gratitude ahead of time and lay out the step-by-step process that you can start using today to create whatever you desire in your life.

I can’t express how excited I am to share this information with you! If you practice this process on a regular basis, I am confident that you’ll be able to have all of the answers before you actually need them. That will allow you to eliminate worry, access a whole another level of wisdom, and preemptively get rid of all of the obstacles you might have on the way to your dreams and desires.

Originally, this episode was supposed to be on the topic of visualization. However, the past week completely rocked my world and I’ve been dealing with what I call “a sucker punch to the gut” –  something that happens to the best of us.

In case you’re wondering, “a sucker punch to the gut” can be something like a shocking diagnosis or a piece of news or a circumstance that simply takes your breath away when you find out about it.

For me, this caused me to feel a tremendous amount of shame – the feeling that comes from the thought that there’s something wrong with me.

Regardless of the reason why you feel the way that you do, I would like to offer a solution that you could regularly come back to if you happen to get sucker punched or something seems to really suck in your life. Listen in for my step-by-step process to help get you out of that feeling that everything is so horrible.

Don’t miss this opportunity to find out how you can actively do something instead of feeling powerless and grow as a human being, using those terrible events to make your life better!

One of the main issues that I experience with my clients and students is their knee-jerk reaction to “I don’t know.”

One of the rules that I have with everyone that I work with is that when I ask a question about their life or where they want to go in their future, they can’t respond with “I don’t know.” They have to come up with an answer.

The reason why I insist that they always have an answer to my question is because I don’t want them to deny their own wisdom, and miss out on being conscious and being able to look inside themselves when they indulge in the thought of “I don’t know what to do.”

On this episode of The Life Coach School podcast, we take a look at what it means, as well as what it feels like, to truly know something. We also break down what we can do in order to make the process of looking into the unknown easier.

Join us to discover how you can stop living in the place of confusion and move towards more knowing and more willingness to go into the unknown, letting go of the “I don’t know” excuse we have all been guilty of.

A few episodes ago, we started talking about the process of making changes in our lives. Today, we continue this conversation about wanting to change from one model to another and look at this process in a more simplified way.

Listen in as I explain why making changes in our lives is so difficult for most of us and lay out the step-by-step process that you can use to transition from the old models to new ones.

Welcome to the episode 101! Based on my recent experience with our in-person training group, I decided that for the next 10 sessions I’m going to teach all of you at a really high level. So if you just found this podcast and you’re jumping into this episode, please go back to the beginning and listen to the first 100 episodes first, and learn the basic concepts we’ve talked about previously.

One of the concepts we have had trouble teaching and “selling” students in our coaching group, is the idea that consciousness is treatment…Watching and doing models in and of itself is treatment. In other words, it literally changes you. By observing your own mind and becoming more conscious, you evolve.

On this episode, of The Life Coach School, we’re talking about the incredible power of increasing our consciousness by watching models. Join us to learn about the five phases of consciousness and how you can increase it to the level most people will never get to. Discover how you can become an observer and gain a true understanding of why you feel the way that you do and why you’re thinking what you’re thinking.

“Whatever the present moment contains, accept it as if you had chosen it. Always work with it, not against it.”

– Eckhart Tolle

I think, a lot of times when we think of acceptance, we think of giving up effort. A lot of us associate it with accepting defeat. However, if you truly work on acceptance, you’ll realize that it requires a tremendous amount of effort.

On this episode of The Life Coach Shcool, we take a look at the power of fully accepting our past and our present. We dive into what it really means to accept the things we have no ability to change and the incredible results you can expect in your life once you make this process a daily practice. Join us to discover how using the techniques laid out in this episode, you can create and extraordinary life and achieve anything you put your mind to.

Remember, everything you have the power to imagine, you have the power to create in your life. And the minute you genuinely accept it, it will be as good as done.

One of the themes that has come up quite a bit with my students who are trying to lose weight is the complete avoidance of negative emotion. Many of them believe that we are supposed to feel only positive emotions and be in a constant state of happiness and bliss.

Unfortunately, life doesn’t work that way….

In order for us to feel great, positive emotions, we need to be able to contrast them with the negative ones; and when we make a choice to not resist, react or avoid any emotions, on the other side of it, we can achieve real freedom and strength. Listen in to discover how you can learn to balance your emotions and how to get better at feeling every emotion, becoming stronger in the process.

Recently on the Life Coach School Podcast, we’ve been talking a lot about feelings, mainly because of what I’m doing in our Stop Overeating Masterclass and how immersed I am in the topic on a daily basis. In that intense six-month daily program, we are currently focusing on the reason why we overeat, which happens to be our feelings. And by now, you surely remember that feelings drive our actions as well as inaction.

Since one of the main things that motivates us is feeling good, one of the questions that came up in the Stop Overeating Masterclass community was, “What does feel good?” In this episode, we dive into the reasons why familiarity feels good and why making changes doesn’t. Listen in to discover the main factors that determine whether you succeed in reaching your goals and my strategy for feeling good during the process of making positive changes.

“Pleasure is always derived from something outside you, whereas joy arises from within.”

― Eckhart Tolle

A lot of us have been sold the idea that joy should be as easy as pleasure and that it should be something we can get a quick “hit” of. Unfortunately, this can’t be farther from the truth.

Joy is not external and can only come from within us. It is a constant practice that comes from a relationship with ourselves and our minds.

On this episode, we explore the true sources of joy and why seeking pleasure outside of ourselves often happens to be at the expense of joy.

“You are not a mistake. You are not a problem to be solved. But you won’t discover this until you are willing to stop banging your head against the wall of shaming and caging and fearing yourself”

― Geneen Roth, Women, Food and God: An Unexpected Path to Almost Everything

It is time again for another “Lessons from” episode where I share one of my teachers who had a great impact on my life and teachings of my own.

Today’s teacher, Geneen Roth, has an amazing message for those who emotionally overeat and struggle with weight issues. Geneen, in my opinion, is the one of the best writers on the planet.

As many of you probably already know, I’ve been teaching a course called Stop Overeating Masterclass. One of the themes that came up a lot when I was selling the course and was talking to people who were interested in it, as well as the current students, was the topic of vilification of diets. Many people voiced their concern about going on a diet and some simply did not wish to go on one.

Today, we take a deep dive into the idea of diets, why we often make ourselves the victim and a diet the villain, and whether that is useful or helpful for us. Join us as we analyze the common reasons why people fail on diets and what we can do in order to find a diet that will work for us and stick to it.

What you tell your brain is important directs what it looks for and focuses on, causing it to disregard everything else. That is a function of the brain that safeguards itself from focusing on everything at once and getting completely exhausted.

Unfortunately, most of us don’t take the time to consciously tell our brain what is important and what to look for. So it simply goes on autopilot and looks for evidence to prove the default belief systems (probably from somewhere in your childhood) true.

One of the things that I teach new coaches is when a client gives them a thought, a great response to it is: “So what?” or “What are you making that mean?” This inquiry works well with both facts and opinions.

On this episode, we take a deep dive into the great tool, “So what?” and how it can help you tell yourself the story that will serve you. Don’t miss this opportunity to learn to manage your mind and give yourself the biggest gift in your life – choosing your story.

When we think about discipline, some think about disciplining themselves and others think about disciplining their children. Most people don’t have a problem disciplining their kids, but, on the other hand, they have quite a difficult time disciplining themselves because they believe that discipline gives them less freedom. They couldn’t be further from the truth.

On this episode of The Life Coach School, we take a look at the importance of discipline in different aspects of our lives and how by practicing it, we can achieve freedom. Tune in for a healthy dose of motivation as well as some game-changing tips to start building your willpower and to achieve the freedom in your life that you deserve. This episode will blow your mind.

As you may already know, I just recently finished our in-person coach training.

Listen in as we review that amazing system for analyzing your thoughts and take a look how to properly apply it to any situation in your life.

In previous episodes, we’ve talked about indulgent emotions quite a bit, but I believe that it’s always good to have a refresher for most important topics such as this one. Even my most masterful coaches, at times, have a hard time remembering that often we like to indulge in emotions that don’t serve us.

On this episode of The Life Coach School podcast, we talk about the emotions that feel comfortable to us, that we dive into more than we would like to, but don’t give us the results that we want. Tune in to find out why we so often sabotage ourselves with these emotions and how we can create new, positive emotions that get us to where we want to be in our lives.

I am a firm believer that the reason why any of us is overweight is because we eat more than our body requires for fuel. Most of us often eat when we’re not hungry, and that is the main problem that causes any of us to overeat and in turn become overweight.

On this episode of The Life Coach School podcast, we’re taking a look at two aspects of weight loss and hunger – the math (eat less and exercise more) and why we’re not doing what we know is the right thing to do. We explore what’s going on in our bodies when we’re physically hungry and when we’re physically full as well what’s happening in our minds when we want to eat food to satisfy something that has nothing to do with our physical bodies. Listen in as I explain how you can begin your journey to a healthy body and maintain it for the rest of your life!

One of the most common misconceptions about highly successful people is that once they reach high level of success, the work is over and they don’t doubt themselves any longer, like we do.
