Podcasts about courageous living coach certification

We are kicking off a new series, "Reclaiming Midlife." The concept was inspired by a meme I saw on Facebook - It's of the Golden Girls side by side with the characters of the Sex in the City reboot, And Just Like That. The meme lets us know that both shows' characters are the same age. Head to the show notes to see the meme. My mind started swirling around when I saw this. First, there was disbelief. Then, there was shock and horror. Then, finally, there was an acceptance that we've come a long way, baby! But also how we still have a long way to go.  And I believe that the journey of reclaiming starts with ourselves. And reclaiming midlife is both literal and figurative - why do we have such an aversion to the word "midlife?" This podcast is midlife Schmidlfie, all based on what the term implies. And figuratively, how are you choosing to show up during this time? Are we embracing who we are now? Or are we living in the past? When was the last time you asked yourself what's important to you now? Are you settling into a career that no longer suits you? Have you dreamed of having more in your life - only to feel guilty? It's time we claimed this time in our lives! And hey, I'm always open to a new word to describe where we are, so if you have any suggestions, please let me know! And speaking of reclaiming, I have another podcast suggestion for you! The concept of a woman "circling the drain" conjures up negative imagery for some. But for the hosts of Circling the Drain Podcast, they've heard this phrase used so many times about perimenopause, menopause, and the plight of the aging woman that they've chosen to reclaim and repurpose the term in the spirit of humor. Co-hosts and longtime friends Ellie and Julia take a deep dive into the sometimes embarrassing, often hilarious, and always bewildering issues of hormonal changes in midlife. Through honest accounts, thoughtful interviews, and group panel discussions, their mission is to make you chuckle, nod your head in recognition, and hopefully make some scientific progress! Their episode from March 30th, My Face is Falling, is with a board-certified family nurse practitioner and certified aesthetic nurse specialist. Their convo is all about botox, injectables, and filler. I learned so much! And it shifted my view of what I'm willing to explore for myself. The best part? I laughed my ass off the whole time while listening.  Tune into Circling the Drain Podcast, every other Wednesday. Wherever you get your podcasts. Seriously, be sure to go and subscribe.  Now back to Midlife Schmildfte, my guest for today's show is Grace Howes. Grace and I have many similar life experiences and do identical work supporting women over 40 with their business mindset. And I've been very fortunate to know Grace through the Courageous Living Coach Certification. So we've even met in person! And our conversation in today's show makes it feel like yesterday. In fact, we were just talking about reclaiming midlife, and neither of us realized we had started the podcast conversation! So it's a good thing; I had hit the record button early.  Grace believes that women can achieve anything at any time and that her age should never be a factor. It was only in her early 40s after she started her 1st business when she realized that JOY was hers to have (she always thought she needed permission). However, that doubt didn't need to be her constant sidekick. You can find Grace on Instagram and Facebook at @kgracehowes. And since recording this conversation, Grace started her podcast for women in biz, Brave, Bold, and Badass. Here are ways you can connect with her: https://www.kgracehowes.com/podcast https://www.instagram.com/kgracehowes/ Are you ready to reclaim midlife? Let's drop into the conversation that I had with Grace.

In this episode, Kate Swoboda and I discuss the four main fear-based patterns that we all have, how to identify them, and how to disrupt them so we can live a more courageous life. Kate Swoboda is creator of YourCourageousLife.com, Director of the Courageous Living Coach Certification, and author of The Courage Habit: How to Accept Your Fears, Release the Past, and Live Your Courageous Life. She helps individuals, teams, and companies see where old, fear-based habits have kept people stuck or started to limit what's possible for an organization, and then start creating more courageous lives by getting into “the courage habit,” a four-part process for behavioral and organizational change. Kate has appeared in MindBodyGreen, Entrepreneur, USA Today, Forbes, Lifetime Moms, The Intelligent Optimist, Business Insider, and more, and her website Your Courageous Life was named a top-50 blog for happiness by Greatist. She's spoken at conferences and seminars on the topic of courage as it relates to personal development, releasing overwhelm, business and marketing, money mindset, wellness, increasing emotional resilience, and healthy goal-setting using habit-formation techniques. In this episode, we discuss: ·      How courage can look differently for all of us and that it doesn't always live in big, flashy, actions. ·      Our tendency to see our patterns as part of our identity vs. learned behavior. ·      The cue-routine-reward loop and how it can build fear-based habits. ·      Which part of the loop we need to change in order to change our habits. ·      How to use discernment to identify which habit loops are out of integrity with who we are. ·      The four main fear routines – perfectionism, people pleasing, pessimism, and self-sabotage. ·      Different ways we can access the body and be present to help us disrupt a routine. ·      What it means to listen without attachment. ·      The importance of recognizing and releasing our emotions so we can get to clear thinking. ·      How involving other people in our life is more courageous than doing it on your own. ·      And finally, the importance of realizing discomfort won't kill you.

Join me and Life Coaching Liz Applegate as we dive into subjects like: Where you're at with figuring out of this time How you're taking care of yourself emotionally and physicallyWhat changes (if any) you're making to your business because of itObservations, insights, lightbulb momentsAny predictions for how you see this crisis changing the way we work and run our businesses in the short, medium and long term. What's giving you JOY right now - yep, we're going to talk about the good stuff too because we need it more than ever right now. Books, TV, Movies, Music - the works. It's clear that we are in uncharted territory. No one alive has ever lived through a global pandemic let alone run a business during one. The fact is, we're figuring this out as we go along, testing out what business approaches and strategies are still working,  where we need to pivot and what's ‘likely' to happen over the next few weeks and months. On top of that, we're having to adjust to new personal circumstances (hello homeschooling) navigate the fear and grief that go with these current times and it's clear that we are most definitely not in Kansas anymore, Toto. Liz Applegate is a certified life & biz coach who helps Gen-X women tired of the good girl rules stop playing small and redesign their lives. Besides having her own coaching practice, she is also a lead coach for Your Kick-Ass Life and has been on the leadership team of the Courageous Living Coach Certification since 2016, helping to teach and coach close to 200 trainees through online and in-person trainings. Liz has been called an “inner critic whisperer” by clients who work with her. Those who know her best call her “Mama Liz” because of the care she provides them as well as the loving kick-in-the-pants she can give, when needed.BreakingTheGoodGirlRules.com

Oftentimes we try to deal with fear in three ways: (1) avoid or ignore, (2) please or placate it, (3) attack it.When we start to feel fear we usually resort to a habit that we've learned to try to cope for a short-term reward, whatever reduces stress. These habits are perfectionism, people pleasing, pessimism, and self-sabotage.With the work that Kate does, she helps you to rework how you respond to events that happen. Instead of a fear-based habit that gets you short term results, she helps her clients choose a courage-based habit that gets them long term rewards.

How often have you wished you could just do something without being afraid? I know in my own life, fear is often the root of why I hold myself back, why I do not take that action or say the things I want to say. Enter Kate Swoboda, who has literally written the book on this topic. Kate is author of The Courage Habit,creator of YourCourageousLife.com and Director of the Courageous Living Coach Certification, where I received my coaching training. Kate firmly believes that the absence of fear is not the goal. The goal is to live comfortably with fear, and know how to work with it, and take the action you want to take anyway. It is because of Kate’s training and wisdom on this topic that I have braved so many of the very hard circumstances that have appeared in my life in the last few years with some amount of grace.  To learn how you can be more courageous and navigate the hard stuff in your life with much more ease, check out this week’s bonus episode with Kate Swoboda now.  In this episode: Courage is a habit; it takes practice. If affirmations don’t work for you, try reframing instead. Do more than talk about Brene Brown’s work; really learn how to practice vulnerability. What’s your kryptonite?

“Fearing rejection from others, we reject ourselves.” That’s the kind of wisdom you can expect in this episode with author of The Courage Habit and Director of the Courageous Living Coach Certification, Kate Swoboda, who has also been featured in MindBodyGreen and Forbes. Kate proclaimed that she was feeling feisty during this interview and her realness truly shines on issues like fear of rejection and how the life coaching/self help industry can be seen as not a real career or naive. This was a wise, deep conversation. I know you’ll feel fired up like I did and ready to shine your light and stand fiercely in your courage, despite the haters and despite your fears, which Kate has no interest in crushing. In fact, she wants you to mindfully move through your fears. Let’s dive in.SHOWNOTES:thejournaldeck.com/episode80Makeover launches Sunday, May 12!

#073 — Building the Courage Habit There’s nothing wrong with fear in and of itself. The problem is when we respond with fear-based habits like perfectionism or self-sabotage and get stuck in our fear. Kate Swoboda has built her coaching practice on the principle that these fear-based habits can be replaced with courage-based behaviors, that we can be afraid and do it anyway. And responding differently to the fear is what facilitates real transformation.  So, how do we go about building this courage habit? Today, Kate joins me to explain how she created her coaching business and why she designed the Courageous Living Coach Certification program. She shares the inspiration for her book, The Courage Habit, outlining the 4 courage-based behaviors you can cultivate in daily life. I ask Kate about the frustrating time she spent working with a fertility specialist, and she speaks to her surprise at finally getting pregnant without medical intervention. Listen in for Kate’s insight on adopting a particular parenting philosophy and learn how to approach fear as part of the process—and foster the courage habit in your own life!  FULL SHOW NOTES Get the complete show notes with episode quotes, photos, and time stamps at http://www.startuppregnant.com/073.

When I first started my business as an entrepreneur I quickly learned there were A LOT of fears I would encounter. Everything from being seen, presenting and teaching, to looking at my relationship to money, charging from my services, leading a webinar for the first time ~ there was so much that made me want to run away and hide.  If only I had Kate's new book,The Courage Habit, when I started this wild journey of following my heart...!  But luckily, I did have the support of people I loved, and I was able to call upon my courage, and face many of my fears. In this conversation Kate shares about the research behind our fears and what holds us back from living courageously. She also shares a four part process for courage, and the fears she still faces today.  This is a great episode for all you entrepreneurs, coaches and writers, as we both share our experiences of growing a team and publishing a book. In this episode we discussed: Kate's personal journey with perfectionism, change, and creating her business What Kate has learned about courage and fear The common places Kate sees people get stuck Kate's four-part process for courage More about her newly released book, The Courage Habit The journey of releasing a book (we both share our stories) and Kate's current growing edge "Your fear is a wound and it just wants to heal. The more you can offer opportunities for healing to your fear instead of trying to push it away or telling it to shut up, the more it heals. And the more you will see that it just says things when it's afraid."  Stay in Touch with Kate: Web Instagram FB Community Kate Swoboda is creator of YourCourageousLife.com, Director of the Courageous Living Coach Certification at TribeCLCC.com and author of The Courage Habit: How to Accept Your Fears, Release the Past, and Live Your Courageous Life.

"Like - this is my life and I got shit to do...like good shit to do.

My fave moments from this conversation: I mean...first of all, Kate Courageous was my very first life coach EVER and she taught me a personal growth lesson having to do with tight pants and I've got to tell you...I've carried that lesson with me years later still! And I am SO STINKING EXCITED + PROUD of her on the release of her very first book, The Courage Habit. How fear-based behaviors become fear-based habits and what we can stop that shit and practice courage-based habits instead. Kate's journey through an auto-immune diagnosis all while thinking...I'm doing the right things SO WHY AM I SICK? The hard-won courage and knowing when you're able to say - it's ok - I'll get to the other side. How the shadow side of working on our 'stuff' can show up in relationships and boundaries. The four predominant ways fear shows up for us. I especially love that Kate takes us through a super practical and relatable example of how to practice The Courage Habit when needing to have an uncomfortable conversation with a close friend. How short-term "rewards" like a decrease in stress is a fear-based way of how we can self-sabotage our long-term goals and desires. (

Kate Swoboda is joining me today to celebrate the release of her brand new book, The Courage Habit: How to Accept Your Fears, Release the Past, and Live Your Courageous Life. Kate (who is also known as Kate Courageous) is a life coach, the founder of Courageous Living Coach Certification, and Your Courageous Life. And, I’ve had the pleasure of working with her previously as a mentor in her coaching certification program. Kate’s work has been multifaceted around courage and fear, and her path to becoming a published author is inspiring. After having her book proposal accepted, she came to the realization that she wanted to go deeper on the questions of how we develop courage, and what holds us back from acting courageously. She asked her publisher if she could change up the focus of the book (they said yes!) and she created a book that brings in neuroscience, behavioral psychology, and other fields to develop the framework for The Courage Habit. In this episode, Kate Swoboda and I talk about: Her new book, The Courage Habit  Her road to becoming a published author, along with her advice to anyone wishing to get a book published (keep trying) How she proposed a new angle on the book, after the proposal was accepted How to start practicing courage based behaviors and get “unstuck” Experiencing fear, and practicing mindfulness to recognize that you’re experiencing fear, while also stepping back to observe your own “stress responses” The Inner Critic, and the ways that the Inner Critic counteracts courage: o Perfectionism o People Pleasing o Sabotage o Pessimism That we need to work with (instead of against) the Inner Critic, by meeting him/her with unconditional love and acceptance The role of community in developing courage The question of “what if courage could be easy.” Resources The Courage Habit: How to Accept Your Fears, Release the Past, and Live Your Courageous Life by Kate Swoboda on Amazon Courageous Living Coach Certification - CLCC Kate Swoboda’s site: Your Courageous Life Kate Swoboda on past Jump Start Your Joy episodes: Kate Swoboda on “Courage as a Path to Healing (Episode 8, Season 1) The Crossroads of Courage and Creating Habits with guest Kate Courageous (Episode 80, Season 2) Season Two Finale: A Roundtable on Joy, Finding Inspiration, and Self Care in Difficult Times (Episode 101, Season 2)

When we're on the edge of what is kind of  uncomfortable, (I say this all of the time, my like feels like a constant wedgie because it's always a little uncomfortable) what we get to experience by living on our edge and stepping into the things that terrify us, leads to so much. It's truly where the magic happens. We're not going to be able to understand how incredible we are until we push the edge of it and really explore what it is. About Kate Kate Swoboda is Director of the Courageous Living Coach Certification at TribeCLCC.com and creator of YourCourageousLife.com, where she teaches people how to change old patterns of self-doubt and create courageous habits (and courageous lives) using the neuropsychology of habit-formation. Her first book, The Courage Habit: How to Accept Your Fears, Release the Past, and Live Your Courageous Life (New Harbinger Publications) will be on shelves in spring 2018.   In this episode, Kate shares: 5:07- The foundation of courage and how to access it. 10:28- How fear based behaviors become our default actions. 15:50- What fear actually means and the most effective way to heal our relationship with it. 20:10- The role fear plays in our lives. 24:37- What to do when we have a fear of failure.   YouTube Videos Referenced in the episode: Shit new aged girls say: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=iOavbyDKSi0   You can find more of Kate at: Website | Facebook | Instagram | Book

How many of us view self-care as selfish? And how many of us are suffering from burnout from putting our careers and other relationships before our own self-care? Notice how these questions go hand-in-hand? That’s where my guest Lara Heacock found herself in her mid-30’s and what led to her becoming a life & leadership coach with a focus on kindness. In our conversation, Lara shares her journey as a high-achieving woman and what led to her realization that self-kindness needed to be brought to the top of her to-do list. We dive into bringing forth projects into the world and celebrating our journey of self-awareness. Lara’s mission is to end burnout by using kindness and she hopes to shift the culture that glorifies burnout to one that believes self-kindness and self-care as a vehicle to success. During a 365 day challenge to bring more kindness into the world, she realized she needed to start with herself and Self-Kindness Saturday was born. WOW - who else wants to begin that practice??! Lara and I are both graduates of the 9-month intensive Courageous Living Coach Certification (her in 2014 and me in 2015). Now we are members of the Leadership Team for the program and get to hang out quite a bit throughout the year. Lara also just released a book, Practical Kindness: 52 Ways to Bring More Compassion, Courage and Kindness into Your World. The book is set up in four sections with and easy to read chapter to read each week. I can’t recommend it enough as a way to create weekly practice of bringing more positive action into your life. If you are someone who feels she constantly needs to be “on” and needs to be doing all the things, you will love this interview.
