The Life Coach School Podcast

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.

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.

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, 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.

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.

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.

The difference between ordinary and extraordinary is in how you face obstacles. Your brain is hardwired to seek comfort and avoid growth, which keeps you stuck in mediocrity - in the ordinary. This wiring, known as the Motivational Triad, is great for survival but terrible for achieving greatness. In this episode, I’m breaking down the obstacles that stand between you and the badass version of yourself and the key to overcoming them.

Success isn’t reserved for a select few. It’s available to anyone willing to become the person who creates it. In this three-part series, I’m answering the question I get asked over and over: How do you create the success you want in your life? The answer isn't about being the smartest or having a perfect past. It’s about developing two key traits: mental strength and a productive work ethic. These aren’t optional. They’re the foundation of extraordinary results. In this episode, I share my journey to becoming a badass in business and how I built Self Coaching Scholars into a $10M+ program. You’ll learn why simply believing you can achieve success isn’t enough. You have to believe you are the person who creates those results.

Today, I’m talking about taking a break. A real break. Not just rest. Not just vacation. But intentional time away from everything you usually do. Stepping away gives you perspective. You get to see your life clearly - maybe for the first time. Whether you run a home, have a corporate job, or own your own business, creating space is essential. I share exactly how I planned my break, what I discovered, and why you need one too. You’ll learn how to step away to appreciate your journey. You’ll acknowledge your mistakes. And you'll reconnect with what you genuinely want. Give yourself permission to pause. Reflect. Then redecide your future.

Over the last six-months, I took some time to write and hike and be with the family. In that quiet, potential became my obsession - mine and yours. Most of us begin life future-focused and then quietly start measuring possibility by yesterday’s résumé. That mental pivot shrinks what could still be born. In this episode, I show you how desire points to unused capacity and resilience gets you there. Exploring your potential is the greatest thrill. It’s also your biggest contribution. Let’s find out who you can become.

We have been on quite a journey together over the past 10 years. I’ve created an extraordinary amount of content full of concepts and lessons that have helped me in my own life and business. Thousands of you have taken those lessons, courses, and certifications to create lives you never dreamed possible for yourself. You created businesses. You fell in love. You worked hard and created tremendous success for yourself. I am so proud of you and of us. While the episode you hear today might feel sad, I want you to know this isn’t goodbye. In this episode, I share what you can expect from me and The Life Coach School over the next year, and why I need you to get ready for what I’m going to unleash and bring to you in 2026.

What if I told you satisfaction wasn't about getting more stuff? Or achieving more goals. I know... it sounds counterintuitive. And yet, as I've been watching the incredible transformations happening in this final year of Scholars, I've noticed something fascinating about satisfaction. It's about three specific things that most people never put together: deciding again, wanting what you already have, and the way you cultivate your goals. In this episode, I share how to feel deeply satisfied right now (without settling), why your past decisions might be secretly sabotaging you, and how to want things from a place that feels amazing instead of desperate. This is going to change everything about how you think about satisfaction.

Have you been trying your very best to achieve a goal… and keep coming up short? This can feel so disheartening that your brain might tell you to just throw in the towel. Don’t. Give. Up. Whether you’re trying to reach a new income level in your business, go pro in your sport, or any other endeavor, there will always be a period of not being good enough yet. It’s what you make this period mean that makes all the difference. If you’re ready to close the gap between your very best right now and the very best you’re going to be, listen in. Understanding why your best isn’t good enough and creating a plan to propel you forward are key to closing the gap, and I’m sharing how to do both in this episode.

Who do you think you are? Have you ever asked yourself that seriously? Most people have an idea, a story, about who they are and that narrative creates their identity. However, narratives are not absolute truths and you have way more power over yours than you think. In this episode, you’ll learn what a personal narrative is and why learning how to control yours is one of the most important skills you can cultivate. I walk you through an exercise in uncovering your narrative, in deciding what you want your life and your story to be about, and an exercise in seeing the contrast that all humans naturally have. You are the main character of your life, so how will you write your story?

When faced with a big change, your brain isn’t going to like it. Brains like certainty and stability, not the unknown. So when I announced this would be the last year of Get Coached, many of the students inside had thoughts about what this change would mean for them. And I get it. Coaching and teaching inside these containers has been so rewarding and amazing. And, I cannot wait to see my students surpass me in achieving their impossible goals and in being an example of what’s possible. In this week’s episode, you’ll learn why you 100% have the ability to surpass your teachers and why you might want to. Hear why leveraging what your teacher knows is helpful, but depending on yourself to embrace change and facilitate growth matters more.

How do you talk to yourself when you’ve done something wrong? Maybe you miss a putt in golf or you mess up at work. In these moments, it is so common to beat ourselves up. To get angry and berate ourselves as if that will ensure we don’t mess up again. However, most of the time, what we say to ourselves is not actually what we need to hear. In this episode, learn how to interpret what you really need to hear in tough moments in order to keep moving forward. You’ll hear how to be the best coach you can be to yourself, and how to provide the level of support you need to show up the way you want to.

Growth, whether it be personal or in our businesses, feels uncomfortable. It just does. Pushing your limits and seeing what you are capable of comes with some discomfort. However, some people don’t let themselves even attempt to grow because they’ve decided they would rather have peace over discomfort. My guest this week, like so many of you listening, was willing to disturb her peace in order to grow, and the results have been tremendous. Stacey Boehman is not just one of my favorite people on the planet, she’s also a Master Business Coach for life coaches with multiple highly successful programs. Her journey of going from selling mops in department stores to running an 8-figure business is insanely inspiring, and you can be sure that it came with a lot of discomfort along the way. Tune in this week as Stacey and I explore the choice many people think they have to make between growth and peace, and why hiding from your dreams doesn’t automatically mean you feel peace instead. We discuss the power of deciding to give something your all, how to handle the discomfort of growth, and we share our experiences of choosing to go all in on our businesses while balancing motherhood. What You Will Discover: How we reconcile the discomfort of growth and choosing it anyway. What peace means to us. Why the $100K mark in your business is likely the hardest you will ever work. Why Stacey says trying a little is a lot harder than trying a lot. Stacey’s insights on running a business post-partum. What helps Stacey get through the "river of misery."

Tune in this week to learn about the difference between busy work and result work and how you can start creating new results in your life.

If you are a woman who struggles with people pleasing, with making conscious decisions that are solely for you, with the idea of creating wealth, listen in. I’m joined by the one and only Kara Loewentheil, author of Take Back Your Brain: How a Sexist Society Gets in Your Head--and How to Get It Out. In this fascinating conversation, Kara and I explore the ways men and women are socialized throughout history, how this socialization impacts how we show up in our lives, and what we can do to take back our brains.
