| 0:00.0 | You're listening to the Life Coach School Podcast with Brook Kistio episode number 422. |
| 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 Kistio. |
| 0:21.0 | Hello my friends, I am Alabama Walk again and I'm actually in Alabama, Birmingham, Alabama, |
| 0:33.7 | with my son and about eight other chosen family kids. We're all staying in an Airbnb together. |
| 0:45.0 | It's very fun, very exciting. Christian just played in a two-fault tournament yesterday. |
| 0:51.7 | I'm amazing to watch you play so well. We miss the cut by one because they doubled |

| 2:07.8 | identify something and then attach to it. So anxiety ahead of time is really worrying about something |
