    247. The Life Mastery Method Part 2: Mind Mastery and the Power of Interrupting Patterns

    Before you hit "play," make sure you've listened to Part 1 of the series! You've probably heard that changing your thoughts changes your life. But what if your thoughts aren't actually where change begins? There’s no doubt that mindset work plays an important role in coaching, but lasting transformation starts by interrupting the patterns beneath your thinking. This episode is the second in my 6-part series teaching you the Life Mastery Method. Last week, we explored the question: Can people really change? Can someone who repeats patterns over and over truly transform their life? The answer is yes, and this week, we're focusing specifically on interrupting those patterns that are keeping you—or your clients—stuck. I've also created a companion worksheet to help you follow along with this episode, which you can download here. Our brain, emotions, nervous system, and behaviors all live in patterns, and some of the biggest changes in ourselves and in society come from interrupting those patterns. I see it in the women I work with who are prioritizing their well-being, changing relationship dynamics, and stepping into greater financial independence. I see it in the men I work with who are allowing themselves to cry and fully experience their emotions. Changing patterns is possible, and learning to interrupt the patterns that no longer serve you is one of the missing keys to the greater experience of life we're all craving. Today, I'll walk you through four different ways to interrupt your patterns so you can experience more peace, greater alignment with your values, and a deeper sense of who you are and your worth. Next week, we'll go even deeper into the emotional side of the Life Mastery Method and discover why learning to work with your emotions is one of the most powerful ways to grow. You can read the full show notes here. What you’ll learn: The way I teach mindset work and why it's likely different from what you've encountered beforeHow patterns aren't inherently negative and why strengthening healthy patterns is part of growthWhy mindset work and pattern interruption are connected, but why mindset alone isn't enoughWhy using thinking to avoid your feelings keeps you stuck and how to interrupt that patternHow life mastery isn't possible unless we learn to connect with our emotional selves Listen to the rest of the Life Mastery Method series: Part 1 episode + worksheet Connect with Molly Claire Master Coach Training Application Open Get the book: She Rises: Insights and Wisdom from the Women of The Masterful Coach Collective Molly's Website: MollyClaire.Com Have a question or thoughts about the podcast?

    246. The Life Mastery Method Part 1: Can People Really Change?

    Can people really change? It's a question we've all asked. Whether you've watched someone repeat the same self-sabotaging patterns, or you've struggled to transform your own life, there are times when real, lasting change can feel impossible. This episode is the first in my 6-part series teaching you the Life Mastery Method, and the first thing I want you to know is that change is possible. Anyone can change their life for the better, including you, and today we’re exploring what that really means and the circumstances needed for change to happen. I've also created a companion worksheet to help you follow along with this episode, which you can download here. Change doesn't come from mindset alone, even though your thoughts are an important part of the process. Lasting change happens when you understand your mind, emotions, nervous system, and how they all work together. Transformation can feel difficult because we often focus on changing our thoughts without realizing that our emotional world and sense of safety play an equally important role. This is just the beginning of the journey, and I can't wait to dive deeper into the Life Mastery Method over the coming weeks. Let's get started! What you’ll learn: A meaningful conversation I had with my son that reminded me why lasting change is always possibleHow the Transtheoretical Model views change as an ongoing process rather than a single eventWhy understanding your emotional patterns and nervous system is a powerful part of transformationHow your relationship with yourself is the most crucial piece of creating changeWhy your environment matters more than willpower when it comes to lasting change You can read the full show notes here.

In this conversation, I'm joined by Lisa Stender, COO of Feed My Starving Children. The organization has provided billions of nutritious meals to children around the world through volunteers, and after volunteering myself, I wanted to share their mission with you.

Because service transforms both the people receiving help and the people offering it. Let's dive in!

    One day at a time, one practice at a time, one decision at a time. That’s how you create the life you want. There’s no shortcut, whether you’re changing your relationship to your work, communicating better in your relationships, or on a sobriety journey. This episode is a reminder that you can do it. Today, I'm excited to have a guest from my past. I recently reconnected with Jensen Rapp, whom I hadn't seen in years, because he published a workbook to help people begin and stay on a sobriety journey. He's here to share his story and the practices that have helped him maintain 15 years of sobriety after 16 years of drinking every day.

No matter what your struggle is, making a change comes down to so many of the same principles you’ll hear Jensen talk about. We explore how you can make decisions that are in your best interests, truly be with yourself in the good, the bad, and the ugly, and support yourself in your growth through it all. ​There is hope and possibility in any situation you’re facing right now. No matter how long you’ve done something, no matter how deep you are, there is always the opportunity for change and support to help you get there. Let’s dive in. What you’ll learn: How to find your “X-factor” and think about what your life would look like without itHow to handle your emotions when they come back after being numb for so longSeveral daily practices to help you process your emotions and be more present in your lifeThe “think twice” philosophy that Jensen practices every day to live with more intentionWhy it’s important that you don’t make the decision to change until you feel ready You can read the full show notes here.

    242. Nervous System Regulation Doesn't Need to be Complicated with Dr. Kathleen Kelley

    When people think about stress management, it’s often through the lens of “getting rid of stress.” But stress itself isn’t the problem, and in many ways, it actually helps move us forward. The problem is staying stuck in stress all day long without giving your body moments to recover. Learning how to bring yourself back to center before overwhelm takes over is essential, and it starts with nervous system regulation practices you can easily do every day. My guest today is Dr. Kathleen Kelley, a professor of physical therapy, board-certified neurological clinical specialist, certified yoga and meditation teacher, and life coach. She draws on her extensive experience and education in her coaching practice, helping busy clinicians and high-achieving professionals use simple regulation tools to feel more grounded, calm, and in control of their nervous systems. In this episode, we discuss Dr. Kelley’s many practical nervous system regulation techniques, why stress release matters more than avoiding stress altogether, and the connection between regulation, emotions, and creating intentional change in your life. This conversation is an invitation to notice how often you give yourself moments of pause, care, and reconnection throughout the day, and to consider how you may be able to give yourself more. The key to a more spacious life is practicing these small moments of regulation and self-connection one day at a time. Let’s get started! What you’ll learn: Simple nervous system regulation tools and techniques that can be used on the flyWhy nervous system regulation happens through small moments of reconnecting with yourself throughout the dayHow taking care of yourself helps you feel better while also modeling regulation for othersThe neuroscience behind why dysregulation cuts you off from clear thinkingHow manifesting works as a combination of attention, intention, and aligned action that primes the nervous system You can read the full show notes here. About Dr. Kathleen Kelley Dr. Kelley is a professor of physical therapy at Quinnipiac University. She has taught neurologic rehabilitation, balance, falls, and vestibular dysfunction. Currently, she teaches both gross anatomy and neuroanatomy. Dr. Kelley received her BS in physical therapy from the University of Connecticut, her MS in neurology from Boston University, and her Doctorate in education from the University of Sarasota. She is also a board-certified neurological clinical specialist (emeritus), certified yoga and meditation teacher, and a certified Life Coach. Dr. Kelley’s passion for neurology, brain health, wellness, and self-care led her to dive deeply into the neuroscience of stress, stress management, and best practices for brain health. Dr. Kelley applies modern neuroscience to develop practical tools for regulating the nervous system for both educators and clinicians. When not teaching, you can find Dr. Kelley on her yoga mat, walking her beloved rescue dog Corkey, or knitting while watching reruns of Star Trek.

    241. Your Story Matters: The power of being seen and heard with Matt Kjar

    Excellent coaching helps people understand themselves, feel their emotions, recognize patterns, and create meaningful change in their lives. But how do coaches communicate the depth of their work in a way that actually reaches people? What does it really mean to be seen and heard beyond simply posting content or recording videos? In this episode, I’m talking with Emmy Award-winning video producer Matt Kjar about video storytelling, ethical marketing, and how to tell better stories. Matt has worked in television and video production for more than 20 years, including reality television, documentaries, commercials, and Olympic coverage. After he discovered coaching and experienced its impact firsthand, he began using video storytelling to help coaches build trust and create a deeper connection with the people they serve. Matt’s understanding of the technical side of storytelling and how coaches create transformation changes everything when it comes to marketing for coaches. He knows that the most effective storytelling isn’t just about polished marketing, but staying aligned with your values and being confident while sharing your message. Video storytelling can be a powerful bridge between coaches and the people seeking their support, helping coaches communicate not just what they do, but who they are. Let’s dive in! What you’ll learn: Why video storytelling goes far beyond camera quality or microphone levelsHow ethical marketing and the intention behind your content matter so muchWhy coaches have to learn to see and trust themselves before showing up for othersHow to access the ability to be seen and heard on deeper and deeper levelsHow storytelling helps coaches connect with the people who need their work most You can read the full show notes here. About Matt Kjar Matt Kjar helps coaches and entrepreneurs make videos that change business and lives. He began his video and film production journey in front of the camera, as a child actor. He soon realized that the ones who really make the magic happen are behind the camera, so he decided to focus on making magic. He’s had the opportunity to interview A-list celebrities during the Sundance Film Festival, work internationally with the Olympics through 11 Games (He just got back from Italy), and has 2 Emmys from a story focused docu-follow series. Matt is most passionate about helping people change their lives which lead him to become a certified Life Coach. He wants to help you (as Steve Job’s said) put a ding in the universe. 3 fun facts about Matt: He is the 7th of 8 children. He was his high school mascot “Wally the Wildcat,” and could do a roundoff-back-flip with the massive mascot head. He and his wife sold everything they owned and traveled around the US with their four children for a year.

    240. You Can Stop Doing Too Much

    How much space exists between the busy moments in your day? Do you have space in the morning to start your day in a way that feels intentional and grounded? Is there space to decompress, reconnect, and actually experience the kind of deep rest you need at the end of your day? These are the questions I invite you to sit with in this episode. Whether you feel resistance or a longing for something different as you think about them, your answer may help you see how doing too much has become your norm. This pattern impacts your life balance more than you realize, but a better quality of life is possible—and you’re allowed to have it. If you are someone who overworks, overdoes, and feels the pressure to constantly take care of everything, I want you to consider what could change if you allowed yourself to lay down even a fraction of what you think is your responsibility. What would shift if you made space just to take care of you? When your mental, physical, and emotional needs are not being met, it becomes impossible to show up fully in your life. But when you take even a small step toward giving yourself the space and time that you need, you gain clarity and the ability to move forward with creating the life, business, and relationships you want. Let’s dive in. What you’ll learn: Why doing too much becomes a pattern for high-achieving womenHow my own recent experiences led me to realize I needed more space in my lifeWhy taking more space and downtime for yourself can feel scaryHow honoring your emotional needs allows the best parts of you to shineWhy making even a little more space in your life is a powerful step toward more peace You can read the full show notes here.
