You are listening to the Life Coach School Podcast with Brook Castillo episode number 165.

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 Castillo.

Hello my friends! Yay! Such a gorgeous day today!

It's me! I love today, I love my life, I love everyone, and I'm just in a love-fast mood. I love you.

Do you guys know how much I love you?

So great. I think about you all of the time. I think about you as my students, as my colleagues, as my friends, as my clients.

I love you guys, I really genuinely do huge squeeze, okay?

So today we are talking about how to be a good mate.

Now, when I prepare for these podcasts, I've changed the way I prepare for them ever since I started scholars,

because one of the things that I include in scholars is the Podcast Study Guide.

So when you're in self-caching scholars, you get my notes that I use to prepare the podcast,

and then you also get questions so you can apply what I'm teaching in the podcast.

So I used to prepare the podcast right before I recorded it, but now, because I have to create that book a month ahead of time,

I create the content ahead of time, and then I send it over to my COO, Milana, and she looks at everything and then sends it over to the designer.

And when I was creating the notes for this one, she was like, it seems incomplete.

It just doesn't seem like there's as much content in the notes as there is in some of the other ones.

Nope, it's completely complete. And in fact, I wrote down in my notes of how to be a good mate, 20 ideas about how to be a good mate,

but I could have left it just one thing.

I could have left it to number one, and I want you guys to stick with me on this.

We have so many expectations when it comes to our mate, and our number one expectation is usually that they complete us,

that they make us happy. I'm going to get married, and then my mate will make me happy.
