You are listening to the Life Coach School Podcast with Brook Castillo episode number 423.

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 friends, how are you?

I'm back in Scottsdale. I brought all the kids with me. When I say all the kids, you may be confused.

I have many adopted chosen family members in my life, which is basically my children, Christian and Connor,

and all of my extended children. This summer, it will be Camo, Mason, E-Ob, Zach, Stephen sometimes, and Jared sometimes.

And we are about to do project employee the children. And I have asked them all to come and spend the summer with me,

to help me create an amazing social media presence.

And as many of you know, I haven't done a lot of very personal stuff on social media, not a lot of behind the scenes,

not a lot of kind of what we call personal posts. And so one of the things that we wanted to do is really uplevel that,

and start adding that to our social media at the Life Coach School. And we're also about to start a TikTok channel.

So it's going to be a fun summer, hanging out with the kids, showing you all behind the scenes, showing you what it's like to live my life,

have some rich people shit, find the scene stuff that we're always laughing about, and see a little bit more on my personal side.

So looking forward to that. I am loving Scottsdale. It is so gorgeous right now. Everything is blooming.

So you don't think about things blooming in the desert, but they really do bloom, and it is gorgeous here.

So I wanted to create a podcast today called Proactive Relationships. And it's because so many of my friends recently have seemed to be struggling in their love relationships.

And I feel like I've been doing a lot of coaching and a lot of advice around relationships and marriages and dating relationships.

And I feel like this is something that I am exceptionally good at when it comes to being really proactive and conscious in the relationships that I have.

So I wanted to share with you a little bit about my philosophy there and how I approach relationships and how I coach other people to approach relationships.

So there's two ways to be in a relationship. There's proactive and reactive and reactive is really how we act in relationships to other people's actions.

So if we are reactive in relationships, we're waiting for the other person to do something so we can react to it instead of being ahead of whatever they're doing and really being conscious and making a decision and being proactive.
