#538: Weekly 2

Brooke Castillo
About this episode

Unnecessary suffering is at the heart of what separates those who thrive from those who just survive.

 

Our brain has become an expert at creating pain where none needs to exist.

 

Layering emotional turmoil on top of life's natural challenges and preventing us from achieving what we're truly capable of.

 

In this second part of the Weekly series, I'm breaking down the core principles of coaching and how understanding your brain's motivational triad can fundamentally transform your relationship with success, pain, and achievement.


 

Join me in The Weekly in 2026. You can sign up right now by going to  TheLifeCoachSchool.com/theweekly.

 

What You Will Discover:

 

  • How your brain's survival mechanism creates unnecessary suffering on top of life's natural challenges.
  • Why the motivational triad (seeking pleasure, avoiding pain, conserving energy) keeps you stuck in mediocrity.
  • The five components of the self-coaching model that govern everything in your life.
  • What happens in your brain when you set an impossible goal and why it immediately creates resistance.
  • How weekly repetition and coaching can rewire negative thinking patterns permanently.
  • The difference between clean pain (necessary) and dirty pain (optional) in your emotional life.
