Ep #490: Boundaries vs Avoiding

Ep #490: Boundaries vs Avoiding

Author: Brooke Castillo September 7, 2023 Duration: 32:49

If you’re experiencing resentment, agitation, frustration, and even anger as it relates to someone you’re in relationship with, understanding the difference between boundaries and avoidance is vital.

 

Join me to hear the differences between boundaries and avoiding, and an exercise you can try that will distinguish which camp you currently fall into.

 

Plus, on this week’s Examples of Awesome interview, Brig Johnson speaks to Master Certified Coach Gabrielle Smith about how she helps coaches get over their niche drama and sign their first paid clients.


Brooke Castillo’s The Life Coach School Podcast is a deep, practical exploration of the frameworks that underpin effective coaching and personal change. Rather than offering quick fixes, Brooke delves into the specific skills and thought models necessary for creating sustainable results, whether for yourself or for clients you aim to serve. Each episode feels like a direct conversation, breaking down concepts like self-management, emotional regulation, and the intentional creation of belief systems. While the insights are invaluable for anyone on a self-improvement journey, they are particularly crafted for those serious about the craft of coaching itself. The discussions naturally extend into the realms of entrepreneurship and business, as building a coaching practice requires more than just interpersonal skills. You’ll find clear explanations on how to translate these mindsets into a professional service that genuinely helps others achieve their goals. This podcast often serves as a companion to the more structured certification path offered by The Life Coach School, providing the philosophical and practical groundwork that makes the rigorous training resonate. Listening, you gain access to Brooke’s decades of experience, hearing how she approaches common obstacles and what it truly means to facilitate transformation. The tone is both compassionate and straightforward, stripping away the mystery from personal development and replacing it with actionable understanding. It’s a resource for those who want to think differently about their own lives and learn how to guide others in doing the same.
