Changeable Podcast

The Little School of Big Change celebrated its 5th birthday this summer. So much change has happened in 5 years, both for the school, for the no-willpower movement, and for the 100,000 or so people who have been impacted by the no-willpower approach shared in the school.Today’s podcast shares a free class I recently taught about how the change that happens in LSBC is different from willpower or manipulation-based change. We see that nothing is a problem or mistake. Our essence is health and that’s never not the case. We come to welcome, understand, and love what is rather than fight against it. This is why the change that happens in LSBC–the change that happens via insight–tends to last. In the class, I’ll walk you through three examples of how the LSBC-way of change is different from anything else. I would love for you to see this firsthand in the September course beginning on September 12th.

Rebecca left the religious institution that was a huge part of her life for 18 years.  The process of deconstructing her identity and the beliefs it was based upon was a somewhat messy one with moments of anger, fear, guilt, and sadness. It was a process of grief.As Rebecca shares, it was also a process where she learned to more deeply listen to intuition. She confided in and trusted others, which helped a lot. But most of all, she learned to listen to and trust her own inner knowing. Her own intuition guided her out of beliefs that no longer fit, toward a space of knowing and believing very little. That “I don’t know” space felt like freedom. In that space of letting life lead the way, her eating disorder of nearly 20 years fell away. There is so much in Rebecca’s deconstruction story that speaks to the power of thought and our ability to hear beyond inherited thoughts and beliefs. I know you’ll hear so much in this conversation.Rebecca is a Change Coach who supports people with eating issues and other habits. She also holds space for people going through their own deconstruction process.

In this episode, I share some brand new things I’ve been seeing about food, weight concerns, diet and binge eating. Much of it is around physical and mental restriction of food. Diet mentality, good and bad foods, things we will and won’t try, striving to eat as little as necessary…these are all forms of restriction. And they all set your brain up to want to eat a lot of food as quickly as possible. They all lead to obsession with food.  I’ll share how the past 9 years have gone for me, from food being an obsession, to it being a non-issue, to some blips of semi-obsession again, always after some form of restriction.  The books I reference in this episode, both of which I highly recommend, are The F*ck It Diet https://www.amazon.com/Diet-Eating-Should-Be-Easy-ebook/dp/B07C685Q6L and Tired as F*ck https://www.amazon.com/Tired-Burnout-Self-Help-Hustle-Culture-ebook/dp/B094JMK5BD by Caroline Dooner. ***The Little School of Big Change turned 5 years old this summer!  So much change has happened in 5 years:People from 55 countries have gone through the school.Over 700 people have been part of our graduate community, many people for the past 5 years. The Little Book of Big Change, Just a Thought, and Being Human have been translated into 5 languages. Over 100,000 people have been introduced to the no-willpower approach shared in LSBC.There are two ways you can celebrate the 5 year anniversary with us. #1.

Do other people’s opinions bring you down? You’re doing great, but their opinions threaten that. Do other people trigger you? You don’t agree with what they say at all, but you can’t help but feel triggered by their words. Guess what? Other people only exist as thought showing up within you. If “they” aren’t in your consciousness, you don’t experience them.Same for their opinions, of course. We don’t feel other people’s opinions unless those opinions carry weight with us. And what carries weight with us isn’t so personal either. It’s just how thought is arising. As always, it’s much simpler than these multi-dimensional projections imply.***The Little School of Big Change turned 5 years old this summer!  So much change has happened in 5 years:People from 55 countries have gone through the school.Over 700 people have been part of our graduate community, many people for the past 5 years. The Little Book of Big Change, Just a Thought, and Being Human have been translated into 5 languages. Over 100,000 people have been introduced to the no-willpower approach shared in LSBC.There are two ways you can celebrate the 5 year anniversary with us. #1.

In this episode, I speak with Stephen Ladd in conversation inspired by his new book, Spiritual Constipation: Discover your True Nature & Get Shift Moving. We talk about how to know the difference between truth and a belief, how oneness is radically different from connectedness, and how sensing our unity with all things is a stepping stone toward an embodied sense of oneness.As Stephen describes, his book is like a ride along a lazy river, casually passing by so many huge, fascinating topics so that the reader’s curiosity will gently steer them deeper into what resonates. Our conversation on the podcast was similar. Enjoy the ride.You can find Spiritual Constipation here: https://www.amazon.com/dp/1955821879And Stephen’s website, with more on his coaching and other services, here: https://www.renegadelifecoach.com***The Little School of Big Change turned 5 years old this summer!  So much change has happened in 5 years:People from 55 countries have gone through the school.Over 700 people have been part of our graduate community, many people for the past 5 years. The Little Book of Big Change, Just a Thought, and Being Human have been translated into 5 languages. Over 100,000 people have been introduced to the no-willpower approach shared in LSBC.There are two ways you can celebrate the 5 year anniversary with us. #1.

Are there reasons for things?  Your mind definitely thinks there are. Not only does everything have a reason (according to your mind), it’s very important that you know the reasons. Reasons equal control, and control equals survival. So, yes…we often seem to reside in a world full of separate things with lots of reasons that explain how those separate things are related. But what about the world beyond that brain-created narrative? You know there is life beyond that brain-created narrative, right? It’s the awareness in which the story of you and all those reasons rises and falls.In that space, how could there be reasons? There is only This. Only Life or Energy or whatever word we want to use to point to the only one no-thing there is. Without separation, there are obviously no reasons. ***The Change Coach Self-Study Course provides a foundation that allows you to help people become free of habits, anxiety, and all forms of suffering.The course focuses on your own understanding of what’s true of all people and how change works.

Melissa Ford has been coaching for almost 30 years, before coaching was even a thing.  She went on a personal development journey around that time and was eager to share her new insights with others, but she had a problem: she was terrible at selling so she had no clients.Melissa vowed to change that and she did. Today, not only does selling look absolutely, radically different than it used to, everything else in life does too. Melissa shares how her sense of who we are has shifted over the years and how everything in her life–from her client work to her business to her marriage–has shifted along with it. Melissa loves helping coaches learn to grow their businesses through service. She has an amazing book about this called Living Service. This is one of my favorite books to share with my Change Coaches. https://www.amazon.com/Living-Service-Journey-Prosperous-Coach/dp/1600250769You can see more about Melissa and her work here: https://melissafordcoaching.com/***The Change Coach Self-Study Course provides a foundation that allows you to help people become free of habits, anxiety, and all forms of suffering.The course focuses on your own understanding of what’s true of all people and how change works.

Patricia is looking for the key that unlocks the grip her procrastination habit has on her. Aren’t we all?Interestingly, she says she senses that procrastination is not really a problem to be solved. It definitely feels like a problem, but she’s on to the fact that things are not as they appear.Patricia asks some great questions that allow for a fascinating conversation about habits, thought, and the mysterious, unknowable ways change happens. ***The Change Coach Self-Study Course provides a foundation that allows you to help people become free of habits, anxiety, and all forms of suffering.The course focuses on your own understanding of what’s true of all people and how change works.

All of life is a projection. Perhaps one of the easiest places to see this is with money.  In this conversation, Dr. Giles Croft and I have a conversation about the made-up, projected nature of life, particularly around money. We discuss made up ideas like “enough”, security (which Giles says means free of care), that money has anything at all to do with peace of mind, and a lot more.We share our own experiences feeling like we have enough, more than enough, and not enough at various points in life, and we talk about how truly fluid everything is, including our financial status and our experience. We hope you come away from this episode seeing just how beautifully neutral money truly is. To see more about Giles and his work, visit: https://www.gilespcroft.comFor a report on the impact of this understanding on wellbeing, check out https://www.gilespcroft.link/whatworks***The Change Coach Self-Study Course provides a foundation that allows you to help people become free of habits, anxiety, and all forms of suffering.The course focuses on your own understanding of what’s true of all people and how change works.

In listening to one of my Change Coach trainees coach a woman who is struggling with binge eating, two misunderstandings jumped out at me. These are two things I hear from nearly everyone who feels caught up in any habit. I thought these two things myself all the time when I was in my former habit. They are two misunderstandings that, when seen around, make way for a very different experience. They are 1) believing your habit delivers peace, and 2) believing discomfort will continue indefinitely if you don’t engage in your habit. Neither are true. Seeing that neither is true can make a big difference. ***The Change Coach Self-Study Course provides a foundation that allows you to help people become free of habits, anxiety, and all forms of suffering.The course focuses on your own understanding of what’s true of all people and how change works.
