In this episode, I address some frequent questions like:
- Why would I want a life coach?
- What does a life coach know about MY life?
- What is the difference between a therapist and a life coach?
Athletes have coaches to help them see what they're missing as they perform in their sport. That's what I do for your life. I'm trained to see what you can't see when you're inside your own "muck" (oh, and I give a great analogy about your muck...don't miss it).
I also describe how simple it can be to work with me.
If you're tired of struggling in some area of your life, stop the struggle and get some help. Stop telling yourself you should be able to do it by yourself...is that working? I'm here to help and I'm passionate about this work.

In this episode, we uncover common thoughts that have us arguing with reality.
Most of them have "should" or "shouldn't" in them.
When we argue with reality, we give some of our power away.
I give 3 clear steps and 2 important questions to move forward in empowerment.
In this episode, I discuss what it means to own your decisions and why it's a problem when you don't.
I show the importance of looking at past decisions to identify what you were thinking when you made the decision.
This all matters because judgment and beating yourself up erodes your relationship with yourself.

In this episode I expose the three-word sentence: "I have to."
I discuss the empowerment scale (0-10) and demonstrate that when we're thinking "I have to" then we don't feel very empowered (maybe a 2-3) but when we think "I want to" then we are much higher on the scale.
The truth is that we're often thinking "I have to" when we truly "want" to. We are often doing things like paying our taxes or going to work because we have a personal value to do those things. Or we don't want the consequences of NOT doing them and are therefore choosing to do them. When we don't own the choice then we miss out on the personal empowerment that is available to us.
Use this episode to help you identify your own values behind the choices you are making. Also, notice the times you are missing out on power in your life because you're believing "I have to" rather than owning "I choose to."

In Episode 2, I teach that our brain is wired for a complete story: A beginning, middle, and end, and it makes up the part that we don't know.
This means we are believing all kinds of things that simply aren't true. Our brain made it up.
I discuss the skill of separating out facts from thoughts and introduce the Mind Dump exercise.
- Get a piece of scratch paper
- Identify something that is bothering you
- Write down the sentences in your mind about it
- Don't censor yourself or judge what you're thinking
- Underline anything that is factual
- Simply observe that everything that is not underlined leaves you with an option to believe it or not believe it. You can choose consciously.
