0:07.6	Welcome to the Life Coach School podcast where it's all about real clients, real problems and real
0:15.1	coaching. And now your host, master coach instructor Brooke Castillo.
0:22.2	Hey, everybody. What's going on? Episode 30. That's what's up. That is amazing.
0:29.1	30 weeks. Some of you all have been with me. 30 lessons. That's a lot of listening.
0:37.2	I really, really appreciate you guys hanging with me. I so appreciate this community that I've
0:44.1	have listeners that I've created and the content that you all are not just listening to, but applying to your
0:49.7	life. So thank you, thank you, thank you. Now, as you know, every 10 episodes, we talk about an
