Transcript:

WHO AM I?

Hello + Welcome. This is Koren Motekaitis, and I am a certified life + weight loss coach along with being a Daring Way facilitator, and the reason why I host this show is because, I believe there are many ways to live life. I believe there are many journeys for us to take. We can learn from others to see what is possible for ourselves. I believe there are possibilities for all of us. It s not limited to only those who have acquired great success, but including those of us who have stumbled, lost our way, or only saw closed doors. In this podcast you will find out that this is the true pathway to success. Instead of accepting your life as good as it gets you can find out how others have created great lives so you can too. About the show

When ordinary people share the authentic backstage truth behind their success, the doors of possibility open for all of us!

I have weekly conversations with guests who represent their own unique version of success. They too have had their own struggles and uncertainty yet they have found their way. My guests + I are an example of what is possible when you show up in your life, when you go all in, fall down, and get back up and continue to practice.

Since 2006 and over 440 shows, I have interviewed thought leaders and researchers like Brené Brown, Daniel Pink, Martha Beck, Danielle Laporte, Simon Sinek, Carol Dweck, Harriet Lerner, Byron Katie, Geneen Roth, Gretchen Rubin, Todd Kashdon, Kristin Neff and Heidi Grant Halvorson as well as ordinary people doing extraordinary things. In hearing their stories, I invite you to ask yourself, if that is possible for them, what is possible for me? Really, ask yourself that…

In between each week s shows I take all this talk + research, and help my clients integrate it into their actual life. My lovely clients are high functioning, over-achievers who come to me feeling like a fraud. They believed their next achievement would finally make them good enough. Instead they are stressed and frustrated that all their achievements did not create this Great Life and self-confidence they desired.

Exhausted and settling in their life created a hunger so deep inside of them for something more. While they tried to convince themselves daily that this is as good as it gets + that s okay, they decided to change things. They work with me so they can stop feeling like a fraud, being stressed, angry/frustrated and live a GREAT, meaningful real life.

When I am not on the airwaves or coaching clients you can find me near water (my life necessity) coaching the local youth swim team, the AquaMonsters, playing games with family + friends, or enjoying delicious coffee with a good friend.

So there you go. Now you know who I am, Koren. And now we can get started on helping you create a GREAT meaningful life + career!

WHAT'S IN IT FOR YOU? And if you re listening to this, clearly you are interested in personal development. Maybe you have read a lot of books, gone to conferences and you re looking to take your life to the next level. Maybe you re too busy to read and love podcasts as a portable medium you can take everywhere, to help you create a great life.

Either way, I promise you this podcast is going to be for you. You will realize you are not alone. You will receive nuggets of insight in each show. You will learn cutting edge research as I am a bit of a nut over other people s research. You will hear insightful, real + authentic conversations to help you move through the as good as it gets life to a great one!

While you may believe successful people don t have difficult situations this show is here to set you straight. Because we all have stumbled, lost our way, or only saw closed doors. In this podcast you will find out that this stumbling, falling down and getting your but kicked is actually the true pathway to success when you are willing to be vulnerable and rise back up in your life. Instead of accepting your life as good as it gets you can find out here how others have created great lives so you can too.

Today I am bringing back 3rd of the three interviews I have done with Brené Brown to get you ready for her upcoming book Rising Strong which comes out August 25th, 2015.
