That's What's Up.

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 Histio.

Hey everybody, welcome to Episode 25.

Yeah, I'm so proud. I'm so proud that I had this idea for a podcast and that I wanted to create it

and I wanted to be consistent with it and I've done it and so many of you have benefited from it

and sent me emails of gratitude and questions and comments and I just am stoked. And I know I say

that every time and it's just really genuinely true. I appreciate all your reviews, all the subscriptions,

all the downloads, everything you guys have done. It's no joke. I really do appreciate it.

So in this podcast, I'm going to talk to you about a concept called emotional childhood,

emotional adulthood. And this is a concept that has developed over time for me in my coaching

practice and also in my school as a concept that we teach. And the way that I've been able to

kind of summarize it down is emotional childhood is when we do not take responsibility for how we feel.

We are responsible for how we feel in every moment. We are in charge of how we think and we are in

charge of how we feel. When we are functioning as emotional children, we are blaming other people

for how we feel, for how we act and for the results we get in our life. And it is rampant.

Nobody takes us to emotional adulthood college. There is no class offered in college or in high

school that says, Hey, you're 18. It's time for you to become an emotional adult. And here's what

that means. Now that you're adult, an adult, you have the brain processes to be able to understand

what you're thinking. You can start thinking about your thinking and therefore you can decide what

to think and what to feel in any given moment, no matter what anyone else does in your life.
