Ep #495: Create or Consume

Ep #495: Create or Consume

Author: Brooke Castillo October 12, 2023 Duration: 37:02

It is completely normal for us to consume a lot. It’s what we’re trained to do as humans. 

 

However, when we’re consuming more than we’re creating, we run into problems.

 

In this episode, I share what over-consuming looks like, how we get there, and how to break out of over-consumption by creating more. If you’re tired of feeling stagnant in your life, it’s time to look at your output and start creating a life you truly love.

 

Plus, in this week’s Examples of Awesome interview, Master Certified Coach Brig Johnson is joined by Dielle Charon, sales coach for women of color. They discuss the thoughts that got in Dielle’s way on her path to making seven figures, and the first thought she had once she made it.


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.
