| 0:08.1 | Welcome to the Life Coach School Podcast, where it's all about real clients, real problems, |
| 0:15.0 | and real coaching. And now your host, Master Coach Instructor, Brook Castillo. |
| 0:22.8 | Hey everybody, what's up? How are you today? I am so excited. We are about ready to take |
| 0:29.2 | off on a plane and go to Montana with my huge extended family. Fourteen of us are going to go |
| 0:35.3 | spend the week together. So I'm really looking forward to it, but I wanted to make sure I got |
| 0:39.1 | this podcast out to you, so you would get it next week. And what we're talking about today, |
