What if I told you satisfaction wasn't about getting more stuff?

Or achieving more goals.

I know... it sounds counterintuitive.

And yet, as I've been watching the incredible transformations happening in this final year of Scholars, I've noticed something fascinating about satisfaction.

It's about three specific things that most people never put together: deciding again, wanting what you already have, and the way you cultivate your goals.

In this episode, I share how to feel deeply satisfied right now (without settling), why your past decisions might be secretly sabotaging you, and how to want things from a place that feels amazing instead of desperate. This is going to change everything about how you think about satisfaction.

What You Will Discover:

• Why deciding everything again each year keeps you growing and evolving
• The difference between gratitude and wanting what you already have
• How to discover what you truly want versus what others expect
• Why satisfaction doesn't conflict with setting ambitious goals
• The power of conscious living versus defaulting to past patterns
• How to cultivate anticipation instead of scarcity
• Why letting go of past identities opens doors to new possibilities

Who do you think you are?

Have you ever asked yourself that seriously?

Most people have an idea, a story, about who they are and that narrative creates their identity. However, narratives are not absolute truths and you have way more power over yours than you think.

In this episode, you’ll learn what a personal narrative is and why learning how to control yours is one of the most important skills you can cultivate. I walk you through an exercise in uncovering your narrative, in deciding what you want your life and your story to be about, and an exercise in seeing the contrast that all humans naturally have.

You are the main character of your life, so how will you write your story?

What You Will Discover:

• Why learning how to control your narrative is so important.
• How people with similar circumstances can have vastly different lives.
• Why personal narratives are not absolute truths.
• The power of an “I am” thesis.
• An exercise to uncover your current narrative.

When faced with a big change, your brain isn’t going to like it.

Brains like certainty and stability, not the unknown.

So when I announced this would be the last year of Get Coached, many of the students inside had thoughts about what this change would mean for them.

And I get it.

Coaching and teaching inside these containers has been so rewarding and amazing.

And, I cannot wait to see my students surpass me in achieving their impossible goals and in being an example of what’s possible.

In this week’s episode, you’ll learn why you 100% have the ability to surpass your teachers and why you might want to. Hear why leveraging what your teacher knows is helpful, but depending on yourself to embrace change and facilitate growth matters more.

What You Will Discover:

• Why every student can surpass their teacher if they want to.
• A more useful way to view your teachers.
• The benefits of being part of different communities.
• How to become the leader you’re looking for.

Several months ago, I challenged my team members, Erika Royal, Courtney Delgado, and Katie Pulsifer, to create the best Certification program we've ever had. And they've done it.

This conversation is about the process they used to reimagine the program and how you can think about reimagining your own life.

You'll hear what it means to constantly be improving, to never get comfortable, and to always be the best of the best in terms of over delivering.

If you are interested in becoming a Certified Life Coach, now is the time to really explore and understand what we are offering. This is the last time Certification will be open in 2023.
