Strap yourselves in for the first of a two-part conversation with the one and only Brooke Castillo. She truly needs no introduction, but for any of you who don’t know who she is, Brooke is my teacher, mentor, coach, and creator of The Life Coach School, and we’re sitting down together to discuss a topic that might be one of our biggest challenges as women: authority.

We are in a season of amazing bonuses here on the podcast, and I have another one to share with you this week. I have done an incredible collaboration with wellness app, Headspace, on their show, Radio Headspace. And on my takeover, which is a whole week of five episodes,

The crux of the issue is that so many people don’t just see their coach as an expert. They see them as the authority. When you see someone else as the authority, whether that’s in relation to thought work, or when it comes to big or small decisions in your everyday, you’re disconnecting from your own authority.

It’s natural to assume that the term “thought work” means just that. It’s easy to fall into the trap of approaching thought work literally and reductively to mean solely working with your thoughts, essentially treating it as a forced thought swap without taking into consideration other factors that are part and parcel of the framework.

To declare that your life is over in midlife is just a mindset that’s going to negatively contribute to you feeling old or out of the loop. There are incredible things we can look forward to and celebrate about aging, and to discuss the myths of women in midlife and how we can begin unwinding the stereotypes, I’m sitting down with three of my ACFC students, Karen Anderson, Elizabeth Sherman, and Jill Angie.

’m sitting down with Lindsay Poelman, my student who has just gone through ACFC, and her husband Danny Poelman, my potential future student who may be joining ACFC in our next cohort. We’re talking about patriarchy in two ways: what it’s like for a man to recognize their own patriarchal socialization, and the negative impacts of patriarchy on men.
