You are listening to the Life Coach School Podcast with Brook Kistio episode number 107.

Welcome to the Life Coach School Podcast, where it's all about real clients, real problems, and real coaching.

And now your host, Master Coach Instructor, Brook Kistio.

Hello, hello, my friends. How are you guys?

Let me tell you how I am.

I was going to do this podcast on visualization.

And I had the cover art done, I had everything done, then I had a week last week that rocked my world.

And I decided to change it from visualization to win something socks.

Because that is what I have been working on all week is what I call a sucker punch to the gut.

That's what I've been dealing with all week.

And a sucker punch to the gut is something that happens to the best of us for many reasons.

And it's our, I think, responsibility to get good at dealing with that.

I will say it has been probably a year since I've had to deal with anything like this.

It's been such an amazing year for me.

I've done just so well in terms of my family, my kids, my business is like constantly, you know, killing it.

It's like we sell out everything. There's so much interest. There's just so much good going on that I was not expecting my sucker punch.

Now let me define what that means.

You guys know that feeling when like someone tells you something and it like takes your breath away.

It's like, oh God, that's awful.

I wish you hadn't told me that. Say it isn't true.

For some of you, it may be a diagnosis.

For some of you, it may be someone telling you that they don't want to be your friend anymore.
