I’m new to life coaching but I absolutely love this podcast. It’s so helpful and it’s full of good info with no fluff that wastes my time.

Edit on 12/30/24: Thank you Brooke for the last 7 years of transformation and evolution. You’ve changed my life, my husband’s life and we are forever grateful. Knowing how to manage your mind and create your results isn’t easy, but it is FREEDOM. Forever grateful to you. Original review: This podcast is everything I already believed about the world and humans but didn't know exactly how to put into practice. I think about this as "Practical Abraham" for mere mortals. (for those of you who know Abraham-Hicks). One month after finding the podcast, I enrolled in Life Coach Certification, in Self Coaching Scholars and both have been more than I expected. To be surrounded by my tribe doing the same work is SO wonderful. It IS work managing your mind and there's nothing else I would be rather doing. My relationships have transformed, especially my relationship with myself. Thank you Brooke and I'll see you in Master Coach Training soon! :D Brooke, Thank you for being brave with your life and showing me the way to make my own path to be brave with mine. <3

Search for “LifeCoachSnark” on Reddit. It’s VERY revealing. A lot of Life Coach School students and associates share there what Brooke is really like. It’s jaw-dropping and disturbing. Brooke’s early episodes are really good - but the last few years she seems to have an obsession with money - and that comes through in her excessive bragging on this podcast about how much money she’s making (from all of you), private jets, how well she’s doing, etc. - it’s exhausting to listen to her brag on and on. All of her bragging also makes me wonder about her mental state too - if someone is doing so well in their life, do they really need to drone on and on about it? Often it’s the opposite that’s really happening… I’m all for prosperity - but not bragging about it - that’s a big turn off. Bring back the authentic and humble (not humblebrag) Brooke from the first episodes, please. I liked that Brooke so much better - and so do many of those who have been part of LCS (working with Brooke and students)- you’ll read about it on the LifeCoachSnark Reddit sub.

I am grateful for this podcast! I love everything Brooke talks about, this podcast truly allowed me to better understand myself and my vision for my life.

Brooke claims to be a Christian teacher, but promotes and endorses New Age teachings which are antithetical to the Bible. She talks about and promotes “Abraham Hicks” who is a channeled ENTITY, Aka demon through a woman named Esther Hicks. This is who started the Law of Attraction. I pray for Brooke to come to the knowledge of the Truth and for her to be convicted that she is leading many astray.

I’ve been listening to this podcast for years, and I first discovered it during a Christmas break. I enjoyed it so much that I went back and started from episode one. I’ve cycled through the episodes multiple times, and each time, I walk away with something new and impactful. I’m incredibly grateful for this podcast and the valuable resource and support it has provided in my life!

Brooke’s podcast is amazing. It has been absolutely life-changing for me. There are a lot of people who like to snark about Brooke and you’ll find a review here mentioning LifeCoachSnark on Reddit. But most of the people who snark in that community or on YouTube haven’t even taken her courses or certification. There are a some legit coaches in Reddit who went through certification and felt like her coaching certification did not meet their expectations or cost too much. For those coaches, yes, their experiences are valid and they matter. But all the other snark just tries to tear Brooke and her work down. I almost let the opinions in Reddit affect my own, but I’m so glad I made my own decision to learn more from Brooke. If you commit to her work in her podcast and programs, your life will change for the better.

Very disappointed with this episode. It’s not a bonus it’s just advertising/infomericial

Brooke has taught me how to process my emotions, understand how they affect my every day life and sleep, and how if they linger, I am not crazy. She is to-the-point and admits she has these challenges all the time. I appreciate her!

The life coach school has changed so many lifes. I hope Brooke knows that.

I just found Brooke and her podcast a couple of weeks ago, I’ve been trying to get more into taking care of my self and reading and listening to personal development. It as already helped me feel so much better after about a month and I just LOVE her content. So much great wisdom, I just wish I would have found this sooner! I can’t wait to catch up on older episodes and look forward to all of the new ones!

You MUST LISTEN to this Podcast!. Brooke has an incredible ability to put complex concepts into perspective so I can harness the right mindset and then feel confident to take action. On nearly every episode, I have a big “ah-ha” moment or I learn something entirely new. I love the empowerment you offer on the truth that WOMEN CAN MAKE MONEY AND FEEL GOOD ABOUT MAKING MONEY. Thank you for that validation. Most importantly, she relates all concepts to real life situations via stories which adds to her other “secret sauce” which her truthfulness and thoughtfulness! Thus, I frequently find myself listening and immediately forwarding episodes to my other female entrepreneur friends. Thank you for producing a fabulous podcast that always keeps me engaged, inspired and yearning for more!! I also know you are a “women owned” business and in honor of WO3 day, a Grassroots effort to promote and support small women-led businesses, I am writing you this testimonial today on WO3 Day to support you and your mission! (wo3connect.com or @WO3connect) Thank you Brooke and Bravo on all your contributions to inspire and educate us all.

So much great content. I’ve listened on and off for years and now I’ve gone back to the beginning and started over! 🌟

As a life coach, we pour out a lot! It’s been refreshing to get poured into through this podcast! Brooke is the coach’s coach! So much wisdom and always an opportunity to self assess through the concepts discussed!

This podcast, Scholars and certification has forever changed my life & I’m eternally grateful! I’ve used the coaching and model to heal long-time family relationships, feel so much better about my life, to lose 50 pounds, become a life coach and create a multiple six figure business that supports my entire family. Infinite gratitude 🙏🏻

Your insights are so useful Thank you

Early content was actually content…provided value and insight. The last few years are shallow and sales-pitchy. Too much fluff and not enough substance…still appreciate the early stuff, though.

This is my first review ever, i’ve wanted to write one for a long time now, but I kept telling myself I didn’t have time. today, I got the opportunity to be coached real briefly by Brooke on her webinar and right before the webinar, I had started listening to this episode. I had to interrupt it to join her webinar and then I got Coached during the webinar and then I came back and finished the episode. Between the brief coaching session and this episode, I got exactly what I needed to keep going. She described four phases of progression to realizing our dream. I find myself in phase 3, and I was starting to have to redefine What’s hard for me I had so many questions and thanks to this episode and the coaching session The questions have been answered. I’m now able to organize my thoughts just right and ready to tackle all the hard that I’m facing and will come with my endeavor. I’m so excited to be on the other side of phase 3. thank you, Brooke and your fabulous mind!!

Brooke used to have the best advice and was so relatable. Since she started scholars she’s completely lost it - entitled, bad attitude towards the hard working people who made her rich. she’s just shameless now about wealth and greed because it gets views and more $$$, it’s kinda gross to listen to. I miss my OG life coach who was down to earth. You can be down to earth and rich! Look at Taylor swift

This podcast was great at first but now seems to only live for the sole purpose of scamming people into forking over money for the programs. Do your research before joining, people!

I am hooked on this podcast. The number one thing this show has taught me is how to live life in a more intentional way. She teaches you this through a number of tools that are very effective. It’s brilliant! Thank you, Brooke, for teaching me how to teach myself.

I have listen to Brook for 9 plus years , the way she help us understand how we’re can utilize her skill sets of the model has helped me to not wear my feelings on my sleeve’s but to take time to truly understand how others reactions you have no control over Thank you Brooke for sharing your knowledge ,your excellent and compassion with everyone who follows your podcast .

I went through LCS training and regret it. The school supports coaching people on their “thoughts” about trauma, discrimination, and nervous system responses (overwhelm is not “indulgent,” it’s a physiological response). It does not teach coaches what to do if a client is in an abusive relationship or thinking of self-harming, which is coaching 101. Master coach instructors use triggering language in their feedback. Yet the school doesn’t ask for feedback from students at any point. Albert Ellis and Aaron Beck created “the model” (it’s the basis of cognitive behavioral therapy). And they were the first to say that CBT is not a tool that works for everything … which is the opposite of what LCS teaches.

Why the constant showcasing of Black coaches now ? It’s ridiculous. Could you imagine how it would Be if a white coach constantly Showcased white coaches each week?! Get back to the show! We don’t need to hear from Brigs clients each week !

I started at podcast #1 and I’m at #116 or thereabouts. My plan is to listen to every single one of Brooke’s podcasts. Her model and her coaching rocks!

If this is what my future looks like just no. I do not travel on private jets. I can’t stand entitled ppl that drop some cash and cut ahead. I heard everything I do not want to become. I thank God I dodged the $20k bullet and listened to my instincts when I first considered LCS. Pls go dress up and go play pickle ball and leave the helping other sisters to real women. Beyond disappointing.

I’ve listened to all of the episodes of this podcast. Brooke has “grown” to a over-privileged, condescending coach who is not relatable or inspiring. Time to hang up the microphone. Paying to hop to the front of the line in first class, telling an employer you won’t leave? All of it. Horrible. She’s gotten very rich using this as a forum, so to tell loyal listeners “you’re welcome.”? Ish.

Thank you Brooke for being such a great teacher and giving us so much incredible content. You are so authentic and insightful. I was referred to this podcast by someone in a Tony Robbins Facebook group. I find your content easier to understand and implement than any other person teaching similar content. You are a joy to listen to. I love your laugh. I feel like I know you. Thank you so much for showing me a new way to live!

I enjoy listening. She does a good job with topics and presentation. Thank you.

I started listening to the podcast in 2020 on my walks. I was on a weight loss journey and this podcast helped me get my mental and emotional health in order during this crazy time in my life and also the crazy time in the world. I have stopped listening for awhile as my life got busy but I always seem to come back to get a mental tune up. I relisten from the beginning or I pick episodes but I always walk away feeling more clarity and like I can handle anything. Thank you Brooke for helping me lose 100 pounds and being my friend that is always there to help.

For real, it’s annoying and distracts from these podcasts

Goal Cost episode! Game changer! Everyone needs someone like Brooke in their life. Thank you. Brooke you have me so fired up! I’m going to listen to the new “best of” episode for the next 30 days. Thank you!

I started listening to this podcast about a year ago and it is one of my top 3 favorites. I love the practical advice to real life situations and I love the overall motivation and inspiration. Definitely worth your while to add to your weekly listening routine.

Brooke must have been hired by the Pickle Ball Promotion Project because she manages to work it into every episode! This on top of constantly talking about her amazing travel, friends, sons, and (latest)boyfriend. It’s just one long, tedious brag and has been for some time now. There is no longer any room in her podcast for actual helpful content.

This is a great podcast for those interested in being a life coach and for advice on life in general. Love the comments about Pickleball. I’m a huge Pickleball enthusiast too and can so relate to Brooke’s comments on the subject. One thing to note Brooke, is that you should use the term Pickleball “paddle” not “racquet” as you sound like an ex-tennis play otherwise. :-)

Brooke brings valuable wisdom to every episode! This podcast is packed with vulnerability, relatability and learning opportunities from Brooke and her guests. Thank you for your amazing podcast and work!

This one hit home…or hit on the road if you will. Thank you for sharing so vulnerably. So helpful.❤️🙏🏽

Love your work Brooke!

If not, you are in for a treat! Brooke is the best at most things she does and that include gaslighting.

Check out lifecoachsnark on Reddit.

Thank you, Brooke, you change my life with every episode!!!

She instructs on how to be evolved and master emotions but does not practice these in her own business. She just laid off half of her coaching staff via Slack message and asked them to confirm receipt via emoji. Is this someone you want to take any sort of instruction from?

I’ve been listening to Brooke since 2020 and she has completely changed my life. I’m actually relistening through again because her material is incredible. Has changed my life 10 fold and am so grateful I stumbled upon The Life Coach School!

Brooke has helped me stop over drinking. I have finally broke the cycle of addiction in my family. I will always be truly grateful for her work.

There is an episode for every thought, feeling or behavior we don't know yet how to investigate, explore, understand. This is the next best thing after 1:1 coaching. A treasure of a podcast and a very generous gift from Brooke (every episode is packed with insights, delivered in a very easy and enjoyable way and Ad free). A free comprehensive guide on how to find our way to ourselves and live the life we've always dreamed of... enjoy !! 🧡

First of all… The "Model" is just CBT and Brooke didn't invent it. It's astounding to see Brooke take credit for years of work and research by others. She gaslights you into thinking you're broken and the only way to fix yourself is with her programs. Who does that?! This is clearly a money grab for her and she runs her business like a cult - inside and out. Listener beware! I went through her coach certification and was so disappointed. It’s basically the podcast repackaged with no support. I feel stupid for investing over $20k. The way she teaches you to build a business is outdated and basically just investing in running ads. What a scam. The truth is being told on Reddit since Brooke scrubs the internet for any negative mentions of her. Can’t wait for the Hulu cult documentary.

Brooke Castillo does a great job sharing her years of insight and wisdom with her listeners on this podcast. I’m always excited to see what new episodes she has and I have gone back and re-listened to some of my favorites because they provide such great value. I’m not a life coach but I am an entrepreneur and glean so much wisdom from the way Brooke has structured her Pod. Thank you Brooke!

Jam packed with life changing information! One of the best podcasts I have come across. 💯💎

I am enjoying the podcast but can I make a suggestion. Please cut back on talking about pickle ball 😭😭😭 I feel like 30% of the content is about pickle ball. I think using real life situations to explain the life coach lesson aka losing a job, divorce, financial issues, health, etc is more relatable to listeners than explaining failure in the context of losing in pickleball or relationship tips in the context of pickleball. I tend to skip over whenever pickleball references are made now because they’re just too regular but sometimes I have to skip over the whole episode and that’s when I realized ok this is too much about pickleball and not so much about real life examples.

I am loving all of the new courses you are creating!!! They are amazing. I am an LCS certified coach and Diamond scholar, I was wondering if I could make a suggestion for another course that would help me in my personal life and my coaching practice. I am noticing that when I start to see the world differently and same with my clients, they notice the people they used to value and relationships that once seemed significant, they realize no longer serve them or they are relationships they no longer desire… for various reasons… They then feel lost in that a lot of what they once knew is no longer what they want. It’s both liberating and sad at the same time. I would love if you could do a podcast or course speaking to this to help those who are in the coaching world going through a similar phenomenon. Unfortunately I can’t make the live relationship call to get some coaching around this but will definitely listen to the replay.
