The Mindful Coach Podcast

Auteur(s): Brett Hill
  • Résumé

  • Imagine you could uplevel every conversation you will ever have for the rest of your life. What would be the impact—professionally and personally? How we show up in conversations—our presence, communication, and awareness—is the fastest way to improve the quality of our personal and professional lives. Yet, few people are ever taught how to cultivate this presence intentionally. That’s what The Mindful Coach Podcast is all about. In each episode, we explore the power of mindful communication—how awareness, somatic intelligence, and deep listening can turn ordinary conversations into extraordinary experiences. Through real conversations with coaches, leaders, and professionals, we uncover practical ways to build resilience, reduce reactivity, and create deeper connections with those we serve. This podcast is also a gateway to a supportive professional community—the Mindful Coach Association (https://mindfulcoachassociation.com)—where mindful professionals gather to learn, connect, and grow in a space dedicated to authentic connection and skillful presence. If you're ready to take this work further, check out my flagship program: Mindfulness Communication and Presence for Professionals—an immersive training designed to help you cultivate presence, master communication, and transform your interactions in work and life. If you're a coach, leader, or professional who values mindful communication and presence, visit The Mindful Coach (https://themindfulcoach.com) to learn more. Join us as we explore what it truly means to show up—for ourselves, our clients, and the world. Together, we are a mighty force.

  • The Anxiety of What's Not Happening
    May 1 2025

    Have you ever found yourself feeling miserable about things that aren't even happening? As a mindful communications coach, I've encountered countless individuals who struggle with this peculiar form of unhappiness. In this episode of The Mindful Coach Podcast, we explore the powerful impact of our thoughts on our well-being and discover how to shift our focus to the present moment.

    The Trap of Imaginary Outcomes

    We often fall into the habit of worrying about potential future events, allowing our minds to create scenarios that may never materialize. This tendency can lead to:

    • Unnecessary stress and anxiety
    • Disconnection from the present moment
    • Missed opportunities for joy and appreciation

    I share insights on how to recognize when you're "living in the gap" between what's happening now and what could happen, and offer strategies to break free from this cycle.

    Embracing the Beauty of Now

    "To have a day that is enjoyable is to have a day that has enjoyable moments."

    Learn how to cultivate an awareness of the "diamonds at your feet" - those everyday moments of beauty and wonder that surround us. We discuss:

    • Techniques for noticing and appreciating ordinary experiences
    • The power of presence in transforming our perception
    • How to balance necessary planning with mindful living

    Practical Tools for Staying Present

    Discover actionable techniques to anchor yourself in the present moment, including:

    • The "name it to tame it" approach for managing difficult thoughts
    • Somatic practices for grounding yourself in your body
    • Strategies for breaking the spell of negative thought patterns

    Reframing Challenges

    Through powerful examples and personal anecdotes, we explore how to maintain presence even in the face of genuine difficulties. Learn how to:

    • Distinguish between necessary problem-solving and unproductive worry
    • Find moments of peace and clarity amidst challenging circumstances
    • Cultivate resilience by focusing on what's within your control

    This episode offers a fresh perspective on happiness and invites you to reconsider the source of your discontent. By learning to navigate the gap between imagination and reality, you can open yourself to a richer, more fulfilling experience of life - right here, right now.

    Are you ready to discover the unexpected path to greater happiness? Join me in this exploration of mindful presence and the transformative power of living in the now.

  • Empathy as a Strength for Men
    Apr 16 2025

    As a mindful, somatic coach and trainer, I've witnessed the profound impact that effective communication can have on our lives. In this episode, I explore the often-overlooked topic of men's struggle with sensitivity and empathy in a world that often discourages these traits.

    The Challenge of Male Sensitivity

    I share a personal story from my youth that illustrates the harsh societal expectations placed on men to suppress their emotions. This experience, along with countless others I've encountered in my work, highlights the urgent need for a cultural shift in how we view and nurture male sensitivity.

    The Neurological Truth

    Contrary to popular belief, research suggests that there's little neurological difference between male and female brains when it comes to empathy. This revelation begs the question: Are men naturally less empathetic, or has our culture conditioned them to suppress these innate qualities?

    Reclaiming Empathy and Sensitivity

    I offer insights on how men can reconnect with their emotional selves and create safe spaces for vulnerability. This process involves:

    • Recognizing the value of sensitivity in leadership and relationships
    • Finding supportive communities that celebrate emotional intelligence
    • Developing mindfulness practices to enhance self-awareness

    The Power of Intentional Communication

    We explore the immense impact our words can have on others and ourselves. By choosing our language with care and intention, we can become powerful forces for positive change in our relationships and communities.

    A Call for Cultural Transformation

    This episode serves as an invitation for all of us - regardless of gender - to examine how we can create a world that honors and nurtures our innate sensitivities. By doing so, we open the door to deeper connections, more authentic relationships, and a society that values the full spectrum of human emotion.

    Whether you're a man grappling with your own sensitivity, someone who loves and supports sensitive men, or simply interested in fostering more empathetic communication, this episode offers valuable insights and practical strategies for embracing our true selves in a world that often resists vulnerability.

  • No Ordinary Conversations - The Art Mindful Communication
    Apr 3 2025





    In a world that often feels like it's spinning out of control, how can we find genuine connection and meaning in our everyday interactions? As a mindful communications coach, I've spent years exploring this question, and in this episode of The Mindful Coach Podcast, I share some powerful insights that can transform your relationships and your life.

    The Power of Presence

    We live in a culture that constantly pushes us to do more, be more, and achieve more. But what if the key to a fulfilling life isn't about striving for future success, but rather about being fully present in each moment? I discuss:

    • • The importance of slowing down and checking in with yourself
    • • How to notice and appreciate the small beauties in life
    • • Why connecting to your deeper self leads to more satisfying interactions

    Creating Extraordinary Conversations

    Every interaction holds the potential for meaningful connection. I offer practical tips for elevating your conversations:

    • Look beyond the story: Learn to see the person behind their roles and labels
    • Practice active listening: Tune into what's not being said
    • Name what you appreciate: Verbalize the positive things you notice about others

    The Art of Acceptance

    One of the most powerful tools for creating connection is accepting the truth of your experience. I share:

    • • Why resisting difficult circumstances only increases suffering
    • • How to acknowledge challenges without being defined by them
    • • The liberating effect of naming your emotions

    Embodying Your Authentic Self

    When you connect to your core essence, and speak form that place - you become an inspiration to others. I explore:

    • • The concept of "embodied authority" and how to cultivate it
    • • Setting clear, non-negotiable boundaries from a place of self-knowledge
    • • Why authenticity is magnetic and creates deeper connections

    This episode is an invitation to pause, reflect, and reconnect with what truly matters. By implementing these practices, you can create more meaningful relationships and a richer, more satisfying life experience.

    Are you ready to take your conversations from ordinary to extraordinary? Join me in exploring the transformative power of mindful communication.
