The Life Coach School Podcast

#539: Weekly 3

Some people choose entertainment during their commute or workouts.   Some people choose to memorize concepts that transform their lives.   This subtle shift in how we use our "bored" time can create extraordinary results over decades.   In this final part of the Weekly series, I'm sharing the philosophy that drove my success: the power of ingraining life-changing concepts through repetitive listening. After 35 years of choosing coaching over music, self-help over entertainment, I've discovered that transformation happens not just through understanding ideas intellectually, but through hearing them applied over and over until they become part of your mental operating system.   The Weekly offers you this same opportunity - 52 hours of live coaching application throughout 2026. You can sign up right now by going to  TheLifeCoachSchool.com/theweekly [http://thelifecoachschool.com/theweekly].   What You Will Discover:   * Why ingraining concepts through repetitive listening creates more lasting change than one-time learning. * How to create your own mental "board of directors" using the wisdom of teachers you've studied. * The critical difference between intellectual understanding and applied mastery of coaching tools. * Why "I don't know" and "maybe" are dream stealers that keep you stuck in misery. * How to evaluate worst-case scenarios from both your primitive brain and prefrontal cortex.   Featured on This Episode:   * Join me in The Weekly in 2026.

#538: Weekly 2

Unnecessary suffering is at the heart of what separates those who thrive from those who just survive.   Our brain has become an expert at creating pain where none needs to exist.   Layering emotional turmoil on top of life's natural challenges and preventing us from achieving what we're truly capable of.   In this second part of the Weekly series, I'm breaking down the core principles of coaching and how understanding your brain's motivational triad can fundamentally transform your relationship with success, pain, and achievement.   Join me in The Weekly in 2026. You can sign up right now by going to  TheLifeCoachSchool.com/theweekly [http://thelifecoachschool.com/theweekly].   What You Will Discover:   * How your brain's survival mechanism creates unnecessary suffering on top of life's natural challenges. * Why the motivational triad (seeking pleasure, avoiding pain, conserving energy) keeps you stuck in mediocrity. * The five components of the self-coaching model that govern everything in your life. * What happens in your brain when you set an impossible goal and why it immediately creates resistance. * How weekly repetition and coaching can rewire negative thinking patterns permanently. * The difference between clean pain (necessary) and dirty pain (optional) in your emotional life.   Featured on This Episode:   * Join me in The Weekly in 2026.

#537: Weekly 1

The people who transform their lives aren't necessarily smarter or more motivated.   They're the ones who show up consistently, week after week, to learn, practice, and apply coaching tools to their specific situations.   The magic isn't in consuming more content - it is in the weekly rhythm of learning concepts, hearing them applied to real situations, and then implementing them in your own life.   This three-part process of learning, repetition, and application is what creates real results.   Today, I'm introducing The Weekly [http://thelifecoachschool.com/theweekly], a live coaching program where I'll introduce tools, coach participants on any topic, and create that essential weekly reset that keeps you moving forward. Whether you're ready to make aggressive life changes or just want to stay on track with subtle improvements, this program gives you the structure and support to make 2026 your most transformative year yet.   Join me in The Weekly in 2026. You can sign up right now by going to  TheLifeCoachSchool.com/theweekly [http://thelifecoachschool.com/theweekly].   What You Will Discover:   * Why weekly engagement with coaching creates more lasting change than intensive one-time learning experiences. * The three-phase process that turns concepts into life-changing results: learning, repetition, and application. * How listening to others get coached on similar issues accelerates your own growth and understanding. * Why group coaching often produces faster breakthroughs than one-on-one sessions. * How to maintain motivation and momentum by creating a weekly reset practice.   Featured on This Episode:   * Join me in The Weekly in 2026.

#536: Capacity and Capability

Have you ever noticed that just when things start going well, you somehow find a way to mess it up?   Maybe you finally start making good money... but then spend it all immediately.   Or you attract a healthy relationship... but find yourself creating drama.   Or you're making progress in your business... but suddenly feel overwhelmed and pull back.   Here's the truth: It's not your capabilities holding you back. It's your capacity.   In this week's episode, I dive deep into the crucial difference between capability and capacity and why understanding this distinction could be the key to unlocking your next level of success.   What You Will Discover:   * Why people with all the right skills still sabotage their success when they haven't expanded their capacity to hold it. * How to identify and question the thoughts that are limiting your capacity for money, relationships, and success. * The three-step process to increase your capacity: awareness, decision-making, and deliberate practice. * Why avoiding stress and overwhelm actually shrinks your life and limits your opportunities. * How to develop capability through massive action and failure while building capacity at the same time. * The difference between taking on more stress that kills you versus stress that grows you. * What happens when your capability outpaces your capacity and how to bring them into alignment.   Featured on This Episode:   * The Work [https://www.amazon.com/Byron-Katies-Work-Journal-Rebecca/dp/B0B6XMWJXS/?tag=thelifecoachs-20] by Byron Katie   Join The Life Coach School on Social:   * instagram.com/lifecoachschool/ [https://www.instagram.com/lifecoachschool/] * instagram.com/therealbrookecastillo/ [https://www.instagram.com/therealbrookecastillo/] * facebook.com/lifecoachschool/ [https://www.facebook.com/lifecoachschool/] * linkedin.com/school/lifecoachschool/ [https://www.linkedin.com/school/lifecoachschool/] * tiktok.com/@lifecoachschool [https://www.tiktok.com/@lifecoachschool] * pinterest.com/thelifecoachschool/ [https://www.pinterest.com/thelifecoachschool/]

#535: Be a Badass - Tools

Most people avoid the emotions and challenges that would change them. That’s why they stay stuck.   In this episode, I’m sharing the tools to become a badass - someone who creates extraordinary results by building mental toughness and emotional resilience.   This isn’t about positive thinking. It’s about stepping into your power and knowing challenges will come with it.   You’ll learn to build emotional strength by processing, not avoiding feelings. You’ll develop behavioral strength to keep moving forward when you mess up. And you’ll see why impossible goals are the key to redefining your identity.   Stop operating from weakness. Start operating from power.   What You Will Discover:   * Why making the decision to be a badass requires telling people and committing publicly. * How to build mental strength through repetition, exposure, and intense work periods. * The three reasons setting impossible goals transforms your identity and results. * Why anticipating worst-case scenarios and planning for them strengthens you before obstacles arrive. * How emotional resilience means embracing fear, doubt, and insecurity rather than avoiding them. * The difference between coddling (which weakens) and self-love (which strengthens). * Why badasses are built on piles of failures, mistakes, and judgments.   Featured on This Episode:   * Ep #534: Be a Badass - Obstacles [https://www.thelifecoachschool.com/podcasts/the-life-coach-school-podcast-2/episodes/2149056329] * Ep #533: Be a Badass - Part 1 [https://www.thelifecoachschool.com/podcasts/the-life-coach-school-podcast-2/episodes/2149054181] * Ep #451: Dread Sprints [https://www.thelifecoachschool.com/podcasts/the-life-coach-school-podcast-2/episodes/2148779690] * Ep #284: Antifragile [https://www.thelifecoachschool.com/podcasts/the-life-coach-school-podcast-2/episodes/2148779882] * Ep #112: Post-Traumatic Growth [https://www.thelifecoachschool.com/podcasts/the-life-coach-school-podcast-2/episodes/2148780055]   Join The Life Coach School on Social:   * instagram.com/lifecoachschool/ [https://www.instagram.com/lifecoachschool/] * instagram.com/therealbrookecastillo/ [https://www.instagram.com/therealbrookecastillo/] * facebook.com/lifecoachschool/ [https://www.facebook.com/lifecoachschool/] * linkedin.com/school/lifecoachschool/ [https://www.linkedin.com/school/lifecoachschool/] * tiktok.com/@lifecoachschool [https://www.tiktok.com/@lifecoachschool] * pinterest.com/thelifecoachschool/ [https://www.pinterest.com/thelifecoachschool/]
