The Life Coach School Podcast With Brooke Castillo

On this episode of The Life Coach School, we’re taking a deep dive into relationships.  We cover how you can use life coaching tools like The Model, Emotional Adulthood, and The Manual to improve your relationships and enjoy them to best of your ability.

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.

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.

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.
