Most of us think that we’re supposed to be good parents. And we make that mean that we shouldn’t make any mistakes and, if we are doing our job right, our children shouldn’t either. We think it means that our children will be happy and successful. The trouble is that so much of what we call “success” in mothering and parenting are things that we have no control over. In this episode of the podcast, I’m sharing four things that you can let go of in order to love your parenting and increase your c...

Life is full of contrast, conflict, and even catastrophe. We are never going to be able to control the world or the people in it, and that can feel scary until we understand that life is designed that way for our maximum growth. In today’s episode I am talking about your emotional wellness, how you can take care of yourself and take charge of your emotional life so that you can feel how you want, even when don’t control anything outside of you. Here are three important principles that I think wi...

As humans, we have an instinctive tendency to want to avoid pain and discomfort. This inclination can sometimes lead us to live our lives avoiding failure and seeking the perfect circumstances—the perfect mate, the perfect job, the perfect house in the perfect place—in order to ensure our happiness. But when we need life to go right or be easy in order to be happy, it makes it really easy to give up when things get hard—even when we’re doing the things we really want to do. The key to creating t...

Sometimes we think that extraordinary lives are few and far between, hard to get, and reserved for only a special few. But the truth is that each one of us has the capacity to live an extraordinary life by living with intention and purpose. Everything that you do in your life is optional. You get to choose it all. Your right to choose your life is unalterable and absolute. None of it is determined and none of it is required and we are choosing our life, every moment of every day, whether we reco...

There is so much power in the compounding effect of taking one small action in our life and then repeating it over and over. This idea is especially powerful when it comes to our thoughts because changing our thoughts is just like changing anything else in our life. We do it by thinking one thought and then choosing to think it again and again—until it is the only thing our brain knows how to think. Over the last five years, I have been able to change my life significantly and to do that the ONL...

Deciding to hire a coach requires us to leave our comfort zone. And whenever we choose to do that, our brain is going to protest. Our brain wants us to stay the same and do things like we've always done them. But we were never meant to stay the same. We each have an unlimited capacity to grow and change and to tap into our amazing potential to create and become, we're going to have to stand up to our brain. In this episode, I'm sharing the thoughts that I think when I hire my coaches so that I c...

One of the best skills we can acquire is learning how to like ourselves and our life because it affects every other area of our life. With our brains running the show, we often don’t realize that liking ourselves is an option. We don’t understand that liking ourselves isn’t something that happens to us, but instead it’s a choice we make by the way we think about ourselves. Liking ourselves and our life is never a result of what we do or what our life looks like—it’s always a result of what we th...

Our relationships are one of the most important aspects of our earth life experience. But for most of us, if we don’t currently have the relationships we want, it feels somewhat out of our control. But that is only because we don’t understand that our relationships are created entirely by the way we think. I spent years struggling in my relationships. This all changed when I found coaching and learned three important things: our pain is always caused by our thinking and not other people’s behavi...

Your brain is the only problem you have. When you came to earth and got put in a physical body, your brain became an automatic filter between you and your earth life experience. This means that everything outside of you has to go through this filter to be experienced by you. And everything inside of you has to overcome this filter to be manifest in the world. This filter (your brain!) is what is creating all of your problems. The way your brain interprets everything that happens and the resistan...

I used to think there were two kinds of people in the world—those that could have what they wanted and the rest of us who couldn’t. But now I know that we’re all the same. And no matter who you are, we all have the same God-given power to create our life and choose our experiences. There isn’t anything that you want that you can’t have, there isn’t any possibility that exists out there that you can’t create, and anything you want is just as possible for you as anybody else. In this episode, I’m ...

For most of us, what really gets in the way of creating the life we want is pain. We have a natural, biologic aversion to pain that has been useful in keeping us alive. But the need to avoid pain and solve for pain and live a life free from pain can actually keep us from doing the things we want. One of the most powerful things you can understand is that while your brain has a built-in instinct to avoid pain, your brain is actually the only thing in your life creating your pain. In today’s episo...

Every result in our life is created by our thoughts. This means that if we don’t love the results we are getting, the solution is to change our thoughts. But this is easier said than done because our thoughts “feel true” and our brains fight to be right about them. It can help to recognize that while no thought is inherently good or bad, or right or wrong, every thought has a different capacity to create results in our life. We can’t create amazing results with low-capacity thoughts. In this epi...

One of the things that all humans have in common is the feeling that we aren’t enough. This is because our brain is measuring who we are and what we do against a constantly shifting standard of acceptability and the conclusion is always the same: we aren’t enough. A lot of us have tried to get around this feeling of not enoughness and inadequacy through achievement, self-improvement, and even righteousness. We are constantly trying to earn our enoughness by the things we do, but this doesn’t wor...

When we make a decision, we are choosing one thing and eliminating the other options. This feels scary because we’re afraid that if we make the wrong decision, we might impact our happiness and then we’ll have regret. But regret is not created by whether you made the right decision or the wrong decision. Regret is created by our thoughts. It is created by what we think after we make the decision. Whatever we feel about a decision— regret or peace, anxiety or confidence—it is never created by the...

Pain is a part of earth life. But when we forget this and we think our pain (either physical or emotional) is a problem, our brain pays more attention to it and this increases both the perception of our pain and the actual amount of our pain. It turns out that the way we think about our pain is way more important than what we do about our pain. In this episode, I talk about the experience of both physical and emotional pain, how our thinking affects our relationship with pain, and how the way we...

A lot of us who become aware of our thoughts and their power to create our results naturally want to get busy changing those thoughts. But it turns out to be harder than we expected, and we sometimes struggle to change our thoughts the way we want to.

While we know that deliberately choosing our thoughts and managing our mind is possible and beneficial, it isn’t always easy and sometimes we just let our brain run on default. In this episode, I’m sharing three mental habits that you can implement to create more control over your thoughts and thereby your entire life experience. These habits will give you more awareness over the things your brain thinks, more power to believe new things, and more authority to stop thinking the things that are g...

Whatever years we each have in our human experience are ours to use as we wish. What are the experiences you want to have while you’re here? What do you want to be sure not to miss? What are the things that you’re done with? It is all up to you. You set the itinerary for your life. Everything you are going to do this year only exists in the hypothetical right now. But anything you want is available and the only thing in the way is your brain. Let’s change that! https://www.aprilpricecoaching.co

I spent a lot of time this year waiting for things to get better. But what if the challenges and disappointments of 2020 were “better?” At the end of a difficult year, I wanted to review some of the lessons that I found most valuable this year. Each day of our lives here is precious. And if the most important thing about being human is learning to choose, then the moments where choosing is the hardest will be best for us in the end. https://www.aprilpricecoaching.com/madeformore

Sometimes there is a misunderstanding that thought work should be easy. But all of our beliefs are deeply ingrained thought patterns and it takes effort and discipline to work to change them. Just because it’s hard to believe new things doesn’t mean you’re doing it wrong and it doesn’t mean you should stop working at it. Belief is a discipline. And since belief is the key to creating the life you want, I think it is a discipline worth developing. https://www.aprilpricecoaching.com/madeform

We often find ourselves making choices that go against what we really want and living out of integrity with our highest selves. We take the easy way. We give up when it’s hard. We let fear get in the way. And this isn’t because we’re weak. We’re just being deceived by our own brains. The only thing keeping you from living the life you want is the negative emotion your brain creates to stop you—but it doesn’t have to be that way. https://www.aprilpricecoaching.com/madeformore

As you start thinking about and looking forward to next year and what you want to do and accomplish in the coming year, I want you to think about why you want to have goals. You don’t need to achieve and accomplish anything, and you don’t have to set goals or leave your comfort zone to be better or make your life better. But setting goals allows us to overcome our brains and become in ways we probably wouldn’t without them. https://www.aprilpricecoaching.com/madeformore

Our brain is programmed to notice the lack in our lives and all the things that have gone wrong. Which is why we need to direct our brain on purpose to notice, instead, the utter abundance of our life and the gift it is. In this episode of the podcast, I’m sharing three things that I am particularly grateful for right now. I hope these thoughts will make you notice and appreciate the abundance of your own life and the matchless goodness of God. https://www.aprilpricecoaching.com/madeformore

A single shift in thought can make a huge impact on your life.

The application for my group coaching program, Made for More, opens today! In this bonus episode, I remind you that you don’t have to wait for anything to get the most out of your earth life experience because the only thing in the way is your own brain. Your brain is powerful, but you are more powerful. And if you harness your agency to manage your brain and choose what you want to believe about yourself, you can create impossible things in your life. https://www.aprilpricecoaching.com/madeform...

You were made for more. You came to earth for a reason. You were made to learn and grow and progress and become more of who you were always meant to be. The better we manage our minds, the more becomes available to us. Your brain doesn’t want more, it just wants to survive. But those survival instincts are often keeping us from the life we could be living. You were made for more, and in this episode, I’ll tell you how to get it. https://www.aprilpricecoaching.com/80

Most of us think that real change is hard and that it takes a long time. But what if the opposite is true? Every action and behavior in your life is coming downstream of your thoughts. Which means that the only thing between you and any change you want are your current thoughts. And you have the power to change those. In this episode, I’m sharing how it’s possible for a handful of thoughts to make a life-changing, future-altering difference in your life. https://www.aprilpricecoaching.com/79

Our brains hate to be wrong and they’re always on the lookout for potential. These instincts make it hard to love people who disagree with us or think differently than us. Love is one of the skills you came to earth to learn and this election season has given all of us an opportunity to practice it more. In this episode, I’ll show you that despite the protests of your brain, love is always an option—because love is a choice that you always have the power to make. https://www.aprilpricecoaching.
