On Todays episode I interviewed my 20 year old daughter Amity about her experience of overcoming insecurity ahead of the curve. We also chat about her thoughts on:

Readiness for change. How to increase it, and why you can’t get away with pretending to be ready.

The power of the clean coaching space to facilitate lasting change.

Accusations, agreements and dealing with daddy issues.

How to discover the defining moments that created insecurity in the first place.

Why gamification may be the only way into the journey of overcoming insecurity for most people.

Why it is easy to underestimate the hard work around rewriting the story and the importance of being prepared for the pressure test.

And, where psychedelics fit in the process and what conditions make them safe.

On today’s episode:

My lovely wife shares her personal development journey over the last 5 years and how the coaching space has helped her make key breakthroughs along the way. What makes this even more interesting is that I have been the one that has coached her. I’ve asked her to explain how we were able to have these critical coaching conversations without running our marriage.

Katherine also talks about:

How we separated the coaching conversations from the marriage ones

The importance of clean conversations, precise language and being clear about the frame before the conversion is had.

The levels and layers of self awareness required to understand the dysfunctional patterns holding you back.

And, why everyone needs a coach at some point in their life.

I’m sure no one is still running an iPhone 3 with the same software it came installed with. It would be completely incompatible with current apps. It is crazy that the idea of installing necessary operating system updates for your phone makes sense, but most people are still running the same internal operating system for their life that they installed before they finished primary school! No wonder life has become so difficult and ineffective.

Here are the 8 most important operating system upgrades you’ll need to install in your mind if you would like to have a better experience of life.
