A listener writes in, wanting a mantra to help her manage her tendency to self-sabotage. Coach MK reminds her there is NOTHING about her that needs changing, that mistakes aren’t tantamount to sabotage and don’t give her reason to quit.

A listener writes in to ask for a mantra to manage her emotional response to a neighbor’s misplaced anger. Coach MK reminds her that she is not a toilet, this woman can take her sh*t elsewhere.

Coach MK’s client DJ Polmateer FINALLY got the PR he earned last year. It was indeed a DJ Day in Houston, and we are all in shock....kinda like the participants in the new Fyre Festival documentaries. Deep thoughts on MLK will come tomorrow, today is squarely a DJ day.

You aren’t crazy. Coach MK knows you are a product of your environment, and wants to make sure you never forget who the real problem is (spoiler alert: it’s not you, she is feeding you lines).

A listener wrote in to ask for a mantra for navigating the continuous interactions she has to manage sharing custody of her son with her toxic ex. Coach MK asks if all that contact is really necessary, and advises her to Pivot, Smile, GET THE F*CK OUT using the Coach MK Five-Point Plan to managing Toxic People.

Coach MK is SUPER EXCITED to respond to a listener who wrote in last night, reminding her that everyone has toxic traits and maybe she should reconsider her stance on ghosting people. Coach MK responds exactly as you would expect: respectfully, firmly, and profanely.

Due to overwhelming response to yesterday’s mantra, Coach MK digs a little deeper into the dynamics of dealing with toxic behavior patterns in a professional setting and delineates toxic behavior patterns in a personal setting. Cutting people’s access to you is the opposite of weak or immature. It takes incredible strength and is one of the hardest things you will ever do.

A listener asked for a mantra to manage a serious case of imposter syndrome. Coach MK tells her to (re)direct her energies away from the naysayers she will never sway and towards the angels who have always been on her side.

Laid up with a stomach virus, Coach MK and Mr. MK have spent most of the day scrolling through their Facebook feeds, enjoying the #tenyearchallenge. (Check hers out at www.facebook,com/brooksmk). Today’s mantra was inspired by the stark realization that 2006 MK would think 2019 MK was a total loser (but 2006 MK was an idiot that couldn’t see past her trauma). Ten years sound like a long time until you’re looking backward instead of committing forward, and Coach MK wants you to be gentle as well as honest when you see where ten years has taken you. **she is also massively dehydrated and may make less sense than usual**

Coach MK addresses a 20-year old listener going through an unexpected breakup. Today’s mantra is more like a prayer, a hope that this bumpy road we travel on is as blessed as we’ve been promised by the All Mighty Rascal Flatts. If Coach MK can get through an entire episode without cursing, ANYTHING IS POSSIBLE!!!!!!!!!!
