    Does Manifestation Work? The Truth About Your RAS and ‘Reprogramming’ Your Brain | EP 122

    Does focusing on what you want actually bring it to you? Dr. Kasey Jo Orvidas holds manifestation, the reticular activating system, and subconscious reprogramming up against the research to see what still stands. The science these ideas borrow from is real, but the claims built on top of it are a different story. In this episode, she covers: What a study of over 1,000 people found when researchers compared manifestation beliefs to objective markers of successHow manifestation borrows terms like quantum entanglement and the observer effect, and what they actually mean in physicsWhat the reticular activating system really does, and the frequency illusion behind the red car theoryA 1991 study that swapped the labels on subliminal self-help tapes, and what people reported afterwardWhy beliefs still matter enormously, and why self-efficacy gets built by taking action first  If you’ve ever taken something showing up everywhere as a sign you were meant to go for it, this episode is for you.   Episodes Referenced: Is NLP a Legit Method for Coaching? | EP 115Why Vision Boards Don't Actually Work | EP 113  Connect with me on Instagram!

    The Truth About Tough Love Coaching | EP 120

    When a client skips check-ins or falls off track for a few weeks, a lot of coaches decide it's time to deliver some tough love. Dr. Kasey Jo Orvidas breaks down why being hard on your clients and challenging your clients are not the same thing, and why the harsh version usually costs you the follow-through you're trying to get.   In this episode, she covers: The two very different things that get lumped together under "tough love"What the righting reflex is and how it shows up in both harsh and helpful-sounding coachingWhy confronting a client makes them argue for staying exactly the sameThe confrontation, labeling, and expert traps and what they do to client ownershipHow to keep a high standard while getting curious before you get corrective If you've ever had a client nod along to a hard conversation and then stop checking in altogether, this episode is for you.   Connect with me on Instagram!

    Is AI Coaching Software Replacing Coaches? | EP 119

    A popular coaching software just rolled out AI that promises one coach can manage hundreds of clients, with check-ins that write themselves. Dr. Kasey Jo Orvidas breaks down what that pitch is really selling, where AI can truly help coaches, and the line she thinks the industry is starting to cross. She also gets honest about how she uses AI in her own business, and why it still gets things confidently wrong.   In this episode, she covers: The contradiction hiding in the "scale to hundreds of clients" pitchWhy managing 200 clients isn't the same as coaching themWhat happened when her own AI, trained on six years of coaching material still came up with claims that weren't trueWhy some coaches reach for AI because of a confidence problem, not a time problemHow HMCC is building responsible AI support for coaches (meet Mindy, the Mindset Co-Coach)  If you've ever wondered whether using AI in your coaching is helping you or slowly replacing you, this episode is for you.   Connect with me on Instagram!   LEAVE A REVIEW, WIN A WORKSHOP!

    Becoming "Fluent" in Mindset & Behavior Change Coaching | EP 118

    "So, are you analyzing me right now?" Dr. Kasey Jo Orvidas gets asked this all the time, and the honest answer is kind of... yes. In this personal episode, she connects her Spanish lessons to what it feels like to learn mindset and behavior change coaching (like learning a "language"), and shares how that "fluency" shows up in her friendships, dating life, and relationships (for better and for worse). In this episode, she covers: How HMCC alumni underestimate what they know because they forget how hard it was to learnWhat happens when a question she asks strangers at a bar tough questionsWhy framing matters so much in hard conversations, and why it's easy to blame the other person for getting defensiveThe moment she has to tell herself to stop being a researcher and just be a partner  Episodes Referenced:  EP 57: Tips from a Mindset Researcher: Dating and Hiring People EP 62: How to Overcome Impostor Syndrome: Mindset Shifts to Try EP 66: Things I Say to Myself in the Mirror  Connect with me on Instagram!

    Maybe You're Not Actually Training to Failure | EP 117

    Dr. Kasey Jo Orvidas breaks down exercise science research showing that even experienced lifters chronically underestimate how many reps they have left, and the further they are from failure, the more wrong they usually are. She connects it to a coaching principle that goes way beyond the gym: discomfort is not the same thing as your actual limit. In this episode, she covers: Why even experienced lifters underestimate how many reps they actually have leftThe research on anchoring and how saying a number out loud becomes your ceilingWhy discomfort gets mistaken for your true limit, and what that means for how you coachHow the GROW model's optimization pillar applies to unrecognized capacity, in the gym and with clientsWhy chronically underestimating your capacity isn't a skills problem, it's a perception problem Episodes Referenced:  #92: The Science of Not Giving Up (And How to Coach It)  Connect with me on Instagram!

Dr. Kasey Jo sits down with marketing expert (and real-life friend) Dr. Matt Shiver to make the case that it's actually setting clients up to fail.
