Life coaching is something I talk about each week (of course), but something I don't talk about as much is the nitty-gritty—what does life coaching look like from a practical standpoint? What happens in a life coaching session?

To help out with that, I've asked Alida, one of the wonderful people I've worked with, to discuss her experience with life coaching. I explore with her the information that I shared with her that literally changed her life—the processes she now follows, and what a life coach actually did for her. You won't want to miss this episode!

Tapping/EFT/Emotional Freedom Technique. None of them are particularly catchy names, but the concept is exciting and different—and it looks like science is backing it up as well!

If you haven't heard of tapping/EFT therapy, today we're going to chat all about it. Have you ever struggled with meditation? Does your mind wander endlessly when you're trying to focus? You aren't the only one—I went through the same thing before I discovered tapping. Now, after trying it, I believe in it so much I'm getting certified! Listen today as I show you what tapping is, how it's different than standard meditation, and how studies are showing some pretty promising results.

This week, as most of you know, is Thanksgiving for my American friends (Happy Thanksgiving to all of you). I thought since that is the case, we could take some time to revisit the topic of Gratitude.

Gratitude isn't just saying "thanks"—it's so much more. I'd go as far as to say that it's vital to our mental health! It's also not just something to do, it's something we can continuously get better at through practice. Join me today as I speak about having more gratitude—how it can do everything from bouncing back from adversity to strengthening our immune system (WHAT?).

The phrase "I don't know" is a tricky one. It can both be something that's okay to admit, and a sneaky phrase that ends up being an avoidance mechanism.

Today, we're going to explore three things that you can do to override the sneaky thought of the cop-out and excuse of "I don't know". Learn some strategies (like writing) to help you discover the things you're feeling.

Today I've got the privilege of interviewing Betsy Jensen—a body and mind life coach. She helps people connect with their bodies and heal their chronic pain, while teaching neuroscience principles and current research on chronic pain. She uses proven strategies to calm the nervous system and rewire the brain to produce less pain. You can listen to her podcast, Unstoppable Body and Mind here: https://bodyandmindlifecoach.com/podcast

With Betsy's background in physical therapy, she's the perfect guest for today's topic. We're going to discuss the connection between body and mind, and how chronic pain can be dramatically affected by what's in your brain!

This is a big episode—I am flying solo.

As of October 1st, Heather and I decided to close up shop on H & L life coaching and head our separate ways. However, I am excited to take over the podcast and to continue to bring you all the things that will help you create the life that you want. The podcast will continue just as it has—there's just a lot more Leah!

Because of this, I thought that life transitions would be a very appropriate topic to talk about today. They can be good ones or they can be bad ones. They can start off as being bad and end up being really good or vice versa. They can bring up all the emotions. And of course you know I'm going to tell you, you need to feel your emotions (more on that too!). Dive in with me as we explore transitions, why our monkey brains resist them, and what we can do to help things flow smoothly.

When we think about future self and all of the goals we want to achieve, we tend to look at the end goal, not so much the journey. Unfortunately for us, delayed gratification doesn't tend to come naturally. Focusing on the finish line means that we don't always achieve the results we want because we can get in our own way. But building a habit is exactly that—building. The tiny changes we make from day to day make all the difference.

On today's episode, we discuss those tiny changes we make, and how small choices can make a serious impact. Make sure to stay tuned to hear about how Heather climbed a mountain and what this all has to do with being a pilot!

Meditation is a topic that every life coach and wellness expert talks about. But it's so much more than just "ohm" and "ah"—it's a way to teach our mind and body to heal itself. We've all heard so much about what meditation is, but what are the benefits? And how can a beginner just "release" stress and discomfort?

To explore these questions and more on the rich topic of meditation, we are joined by Sabina Ravalli. She has over 10 years of experience providing her clients with total mind, body, and lifestyle practices that create massive transformation in their life and career. As a shy introvert, struggling with her fear of marketing her passions to the world, she put herself on a mission to fall in love with being on camera. The tool she discovered led to the development of a 12 week one-on-one coaching program that can shift any camera, shy entrepreneur into a confident, authentic, and magnetic communicator to their brand. Find out more on her website at http://sabinaravalli.com.

It seems as if some people don't think that anything is their responsibility and they have all kinds of excuses—why they can't change things that affect their life negatively. People say things like "I couldn't help it" and "It isn't my fault", but what that really does is it tries to eliminate responsibility.

Today we talk about the concept of "100% Responsibility and 0% Excuses"—it may sound harsh, but it's vital! "No excuses" doesn't mean that valid reasons don't exist. It really means that we don't surrender to the excuses that could keep us from stepping up in life. No excuses means recognizing that while some excuses may be true, they are almost never useful. Learn how you can take life by the horns and reject the excuses that would hold you back.

So many things in this life are learned from trial and error—even something like walking! However, our parents didn't get mad because we fell down while learning—can you imagine? On the contrary! They expect a baby to be a little shaky and they're definitely going to fall. This is a basic human concept called "anti-fragility"—getting up when we fall and trying again, and recognizing that's part of the learning process.

Join us this week in our discussion about anti-fragility—how we can learn about this insanely important concept from people like J. K. Rowling, Michael Jordan, Oprah, and.....our own muscles?
