For many years I wasn't proud of the way I was showing up in my life. I could see that I had problems in every area, and I thought that I was the common denominator in all of it. I thought that I was the problem.

But the real common factor creating our lives is not us, it is our brain. And if we aren't getting the results we want, we don't have to change us, we just have to change what we are choosing to think.

You might think that you can't change, but the good news is that you don't have to. You just have to change your brain. And I can show you how!

We each have an infinite capacity to change and become, but our brain is not interested in that at all. In fact, our brain is super resistant to change. Your brain only wants to keep you alive in the easiest, more energy-efficient way possible. It is not interested in becoming anything. It just wants to stay the same.

As soon as we try to change and grow, in any area of our life, our brain offers all kinds of resistance to it. Today I'm sharing some of the brain's primary tactics that it uses to keep us the same—so that you can be aware of your brain's natural resistance, and not let that resistance keep you from creating all the things you really want.

Just like any other area of our life, when we are considering the decision to hire a coach our brains can get in the way. They can produce thoughts that create fear, doubt, skepticism, anxiety, and even embarrassment for us. And while these emotions do a great job of keeping us "safe," they also keep us the same.

In this episode of the podcast, you'll hear the thoughts and experiences of some of my amazing clients as they made the decision to invest in coaching and what that decision has created in their lives. You will hear what they were nervous about, what they have been surprised about, why they find group coaching uniquely helpful, and how coaching has been valuable to them in their lives. If you've ever thought about coaching, this episode will help answer your questions and concerns.

Most of us think that we're supposed to be good parents. And we make that mean that we shouldn't make any mistakes and, if we are doing our job right, our children shouldn't either. We think it means that our children will be happy and successful. The trouble is that so much of what we call "success" in mothering and parenting are things that we have no control over.

In this episode of the podcast, I'm sharing four things that you can let go of in order to love your parenting and increase your connection with your children. I'll show you how in all your imperfection you are exactly what your children need and how all your ideas of perfect parenting are only getting in the way of being able to love your children as you are.

As humans, we have an instinctive tendency to want to avoid pain and discomfort. This inclination can sometimes lead us to live our lives avoiding failure and seeking the perfect circumstances—the perfect mate, the perfect job, the perfect house in the perfect place—in order to ensure our happiness.

But when we need life to go right or be easy in order to be happy, it makes it really easy to give up when things get hard—even when we're doing the things we really want to do.

The key to creating the life you want (even when things are hard) is developing resilience. Resilience allows us to live our life and pursue our dreams without needing it to be comfortable all the time.

In this episode of the podcast, my son, Caleb, and I share how to become resilient and discuss how discovering our own power to choose our experience and feel our feelings makes us resilient in every circumstance we face.

Sometimes we think that extraordinary lives are few and far between, hard to get, and reserved for only a special few. But the truth is that each one of us has the capacity to live an extraordinary life by living with intention and purpose.

Everything that you do in your life is optional. You get to choose it all. Your right to choose your life is unalterable and absolute. None of it is determined and none of it is required and we are choosing our life, every moment of every day, whether we recognize it or not.

In this episode of the podcast, I share five things that will help you use your agency to get the most out of your earth life experience and do every extraordinary thing you want to do while you are here.

There is so much power in the compounding effect of taking one small action in our life and then repeating it over and over. This idea is especially powerful when it comes to our thoughts because changing our thoughts is just like changing anything else in our life. We do it by thinking one thought and then choosing to think it again and again—until it is the only thing our brain knows how to think.

Over the last five years, I have been able to change my life significantly and to do that the ONLY thing I changed was my brain. In this episode of the podcast, I'm sharing some of the most awesome, life-changing thoughts I've chosen to believe, and I've invited my clients to share the thoughts that have changed their lives as well.

Whatever result you want to create in your life, you just need to think the thought that will create it. That is how you create an amazing life—choosing one awesome thought at time.

Deciding to hire a coach requires us to leave our comfort zone. And whenever we choose to do that, our brain is going to protest. Our brain wants us to stay the same and do things like we've always done them. But we were never meant to stay the same.

We each have an unlimited capacity to grow and change and to tap into our amazing potential to create and become, we're going to have to stand up to our brain.

In this episode, I'm sharing the thoughts that I think when I hire my coaches so that I can get everything I want out of my life, regardless of the fear and anxiety and doubt my brain produces.
