00:02:09.070 --> 00:02:16.239
Tracey Watts Cirino: Yeah, it's well, thank you so much for being here with us today. It's such an honor to have you on our show.

10
00:02:16.500 --> 00:02:18.740
Trish Ahjel Roberts, MBA, MCLC, RYT-200: It's so exciting to be here with you.

11
00:02:18.740 --> 00:02:40.649
Tracey Watts Cirino: I know it's it's really amazing. So we I just have to like, we always keep it real here on beyond common business secrets. It's like whatever comes up and the behind the scenes I want to share with people today. So Trish and I had talked a while ago about her coming on the show, and you know, life. Some stuff happened. I think we are both traveling. Whatever life happened.

12
00:02:40.650 --> 00:02:42.549
Trish Ahjel Roberts, MBA, MCLC, RYT-200: Rescheduled like 6 times.

13
00:02:42.550 --> 00:02:52.089
Tracey Watts Cirino: Which is so rare, right? Because both of us, like always, are really good about keeping schedule. And it was like, Oh, intuitively like today was the day. Well, it's so funny.

14
00:02:52.540 --> 00:03:11.279
Tracey Watts Cirino: One of the questions we get all the time is like, why should someone be a life coach like, why should someone hire a life coach? And I remembered that. Oh, Trish is on the show today. So, Trish, I would love for you to tell us a little bit about your background, I mean, I know I dove into some of it, but I love to hear it in your words.

15
00:03:11.630 --> 00:03:19.110
Tracey Watts Cirino: Share share a little bit about your background, and then I would love for us to dive into. You know why people would hire a life coach.

16
00:03:19.760 --> 00:03:30.040
Trish Ahjel Roberts, MBA, MCLC, RYT-200: Yeah. So my story kind of started back in 2010. I had just moved to Atlanta. My daughter was about 9 years old. I was a single mom.

17
00:03:30.450 --> 00:03:34.889
Trish Ahjel Roberts, MBA, MCLC, RYT-200: I had already been divorced. But then the relationship that I was in also ended

18
00:03:35.190 --> 00:03:41.470
Trish Ahjel Roberts, MBA, MCLC, RYT-200: the job was not working out. I really was convinced my boss hated me. And how can you hate this first.st

19
00:03:41.470 --> 00:03:44.870
Tracey Watts Cirino: I mean, no one could operate you. So it's outrageous like.

20
00:03:44.870 --> 00:03:47.441
Tracey Watts Cirino: didn't that? Yeah, that's crazy talk.

21
00:03:47.870 --> 00:04:09.029
Trish Ahjel Roberts, MBA, MCLC, RYT-200: My mom had been diagnosed with cancer. It was just like everything wasn't working. And so I came home one day and I sat at the kitchen table, and I googled the word meditation because I was always curious about meditation. And sure enough, I found there was a meditation center that wasn't far from where I worked. I went in there the next day did my very 1st meditation on of all things. Death

22
00:04:10.740 --> 00:04:16.459
Trish Ahjel Roberts, MBA, MCLC, RYT-200: had me repeat the mantra over and over again. I could die today. And I was like, I don't know about. This

23
00:04:16.870 --> 00:04:27.219
Trish Ahjel Roberts, MBA, MCLC, RYT-200: funny thing is when you come to that reality, that life is not permanent. It really makes you start thinking about how you're moving in the world in a different way.

24
00:04:27.500 --> 00:04:28.240
Tracey Watts Cirino: Yeah.

25
00:04:28.240 --> 00:04:58.150
Trish Ahjel Roberts, MBA, MCLC, RYT-200: So after that I was like, Oh, my gosh! What else don't I know? And I found out I can die today. So I started studying Buddhist philosophy. I had already been practicing yoga. I went ahead and got certified as a yoga instructor. I got my coaching certification, and you know I studied for quite a few years, I would say, close to a decade before I stepped away from my job as a financial advisor, which I had done for 12 years and got into the space of professional and personal development.

26
00:04:58.510 --> 00:05:01.459
Trish Ahjel Roberts, MBA, MCLC, RYT-200: So that's how that's how I got here.

27
00:05:01.460 --> 00:05:16.910
Tracey Watts Cirino: I love that. It's so. It's so powerful, though. I remember one of the biggest life changing things I did was write like my sort of like when I wrote a letter about what I would want people to say at my funeral.

28
00:05:17.300 --> 00:05:31.549
Tracey Watts Cirino: and that was super powerful. So when you say you're meditated on death. I'm like, Yeah, like, it's powerful. And I think I even wrote about it in maybe beyond comment. One of the books. But telling people to do that because I found it

29
00:05:31.800 --> 00:05:42.610
Tracey Watts Cirino: such a breakthrough. It's like the more you know, it's like surrender, the more that we embrace. You know. Whatever you know, we're fears. We have it just. It's interesting what pops up for you.

30
00:05:42.880 --> 00:06:00.339
Trish Ahjel Roberts, MBA, MCLC, RYT-200: I love that you did that because I've worked with clients where I've recommended that, and some people will go nowhere near the idea, like they really struggle with the idea of writing an obituary, or or even imagining the time when they're not going to be here.

31
00:06:01.120 --> 00:06:09.989
Tracey Watts Cirino: I don't. I can't recall who suggested it like I like. I wish I wrote that part down, but I found it so profound.

32
00:06:10.370 --> 00:06:10.770
Trish Ahjel Roberts, MBA, MCLC, RYT-200: How do you.

33
00:06:10.770 --> 00:06:19.275
Tracey Watts Cirino: That like, yeah, it is definitely something that I suggest to people. Because when you know, you know what you'd like people to feel

34
00:06:20.590 --> 00:06:26.067
Tracey Watts Cirino: on your last day. It makes it easier to like not swap the small stuff right.

35
00:06:26.410 --> 00:06:28.180
Trish Ahjel Roberts, MBA, MCLC, RYT-200: And also not procrastinate.

36
00:06:28.180 --> 00:06:28.990
Tracey Watts Cirino: Right.

37
00:06:29.250 --> 00:06:30.610
Trish Ahjel Roberts, MBA, MCLC, RYT-200: So let's let's hop to it.

38
00:06:30.810 --> 00:06:50.909
Tracey Watts Cirino: Well, yeah, it yeah. That definitely could see. Like for you like saying that that happened during meditation, that they had you meditate on death. It's like, look at. Look at all the books that you've written. Look at all the amazing programs that you've created, you know, like, sometimes it is looking at the end, it quantum leaps us forward.

39
00:06:51.100 --> 00:07:13.440
Trish Ahjel Roberts, MBA, MCLC, RYT-200: Yeah, I loved it for me. It was like a near death experience without having to have a near death experience, you know, and to get that kind of awakening. Recently I was exposed to something different where one of my mentors suggested that you write your manifesto, and usually we think of manifestos is like. You know what people who commit crimes.

40
00:07:13.930 --> 00:07:21.640
Tracey Watts Cirino: No, I have a manifesto for the business I love man like I think that's like one of the 1st things I did. I love writing those

41
00:07:21.780 --> 00:07:22.500
Tracey Watts Cirino: tell me about.

42
00:07:22.500 --> 00:07:24.560
Trish Ahjel Roberts, MBA, MCLC, RYT-200: So not a mission, though, but like a manifesto.

43
00:07:24.560 --> 00:07:25.790
Tracey Watts Cirino: Manifesto. Yes.

44
00:07:26.660 --> 00:07:42.569
Trish Ahjel Roberts, MBA, MCLC, RYT-200: So the manifest, because it's a little bit similar. It was like 10 things in the one that I did, and it's actually hanging on my wall right here. It's like 10 things that I believe in. It's almost like what you would die for, like what you're going to take to the great. So it's kind of the same thing without having to go all the way in with.

45
00:07:43.070 --> 00:07:44.020
Tracey Watts Cirino: Yeah, I love that.

46
00:07:44.020 --> 00:07:46.319
Trish Ahjel Roberts, MBA, MCLC, RYT-200: The the obituary too much.

47
00:07:46.320 --> 00:08:04.290
Tracey Watts Cirino: Well, yeah, because it will. Right? It's focusing on what we do want. Yeah, the thing with it. I'm just going to stress this to anyone that's listening, the obituary in the death meditate that's just to focus on for a moment. We don't want to live there. That's not where we live. We. We then go to what we do want.

48
00:08:04.750 --> 00:08:08.059
Tracey Watts Cirino: That's where we want to focus our attention, right? What we do want.

49
00:08:08.060 --> 00:08:12.459
Trish Ahjel Roberts, MBA, MCLC, RYT-200: Yeah, but I but I think it. It makes you realize how precious your time is

50
00:08:12.900 --> 00:08:17.250
Trish Ahjel Roberts, MBA, MCLC, RYT-200: sometimes, and I don't think it's wasting time. If you're resting, or you're having fun.

51
00:08:17.250 --> 00:08:18.470
Tracey Watts Cirino: Oh, no, no, no! I.

52
00:08:18.470 --> 00:08:22.410
Trish Ahjel Roberts, MBA, MCLC, RYT-200: We can really put things off that are really important to us.

53
00:08:22.419 --> 00:08:22.889
Tracey Watts Cirino: Yeah.

54
00:08:22.890 --> 00:08:24.219
Trish Ahjel Roberts, MBA, MCLC, RYT-200: For a long time.

55
00:08:24.370 --> 00:08:41.710
Trish Ahjel Roberts, MBA, MCLC, RYT-200: You know, like writing that book or starting that podcast or doing that live or changing jobs or changing relationships, or whatever it is that's been speaking to you for a long time, and you keep thinking. I'll do it later. I'll do it later. I'll do it later, and you don't know how much time you have.

56
00:08:42.320 --> 00:08:43.839
Tracey Watts Cirino: That is so. True. Yeah.

57
00:08:43.840 --> 00:08:46.290
Trish Ahjel Roberts, MBA, MCLC, RYT-200: And you were actually talking before about.

58
00:08:46.640 --> 00:08:49.480
Trish Ahjel Roberts, MBA, MCLC, RYT-200: When should somebody work with a coach.

59
00:08:49.480 --> 00:09:00.459
Tracey Watts Cirino: Yeah, like a life coach that. Yeah, because this comes up often where I hear from people they're like, they're very curious about life coaching. It's so mysterious. And

60
00:09:00.790 --> 00:09:15.810
Tracey Watts Cirino: I'm like, and because I'm a business coach, I think that there's less mystery. But yeah, you know. So I'm like, okay, we we all cross over into different things, but I think there's a lot of mystique around life coaching, so I'd love for you to break it down for us.

61
00:09:15.810 --> 00:09:22.839
Trish Ahjel Roberts, MBA, MCLC, RYT-200: Yeah. And that's perfect. Because people when they don't know how to start a business or they don't know how to run a business. They know that they don't know.

62
00:09:22.840 --> 00:09:23.340
Tracey Watts Cirino: Right.

63
00:09:23.340 --> 00:09:24.860
Trish Ahjel Roberts, MBA, MCLC, RYT-200: But with life.

64
00:09:25.110 --> 00:09:27.830
Trish Ahjel Roberts, MBA, MCLC, RYT-200: We don't know when we don't know.

65
00:09:27.830 --> 00:09:28.075
Tracey Watts Cirino: Right.

66
00:09:29.090 --> 00:09:29.640
Trish Ahjel Roberts, MBA, MCLC, RYT-200: But.

67
00:09:29.640 --> 00:09:32.469
Tracey Watts Cirino: When things aren't working. What do you do?

68
00:09:32.470 --> 00:09:33.040
Trish Ahjel Roberts, MBA, MCLC, RYT-200: Hi.

69
00:09:33.040 --> 00:09:38.880
Tracey Watts Cirino: You know. And so that's the that. But sometimes people don't know that it's not working.

70
00:09:39.500 --> 00:10:01.339
Trish Ahjel Roberts, MBA, MCLC, RYT-200: Well, it comes back to that same part that we were talking about. If you know, that's why they're scared of the obituary, or maybe they're scared of the manifesto, because then they're going to have to come face to face with the things that they want, that they're not working on, or that they're not achieving so a good way to know if you need a life coach, or I like to use the word transformational coach, because I think it's all about the transformation

71
00:10:01.360 --> 00:10:11.699
Trish Ahjel Roberts, MBA, MCLC, RYT-200: is to know if there are things that you want that you don't have. And maybe you've been working on something for a you know, a year or 5 years or 10 years. Maybe you've been thinking about changing the job.

72
00:10:12.230 --> 00:10:13.890
Trish Ahjel Roberts, MBA, MCLC, RYT-200: or you've been thinking about

73
00:10:14.130 --> 00:10:29.233
Trish Ahjel Roberts, MBA, MCLC, RYT-200: changing the relationship, or you've been thinking that you're not having enough fun, you know. It's interesting. When I when I meet with clients the 1st time I talk about the 8 main life areas. And there's different ways. Sometimes you'll see like the life wheel or something like that. But

74
00:10:30.710 --> 00:10:33.859
Tracey Watts Cirino: I would love to share the 8 main life areas. If

75
00:10:33.860 --> 00:10:35.549
Tracey Watts Cirino: yeah, please. I would love that.

76
00:10:35.550 --> 00:10:40.470
Trish Ahjel Roberts, MBA, MCLC, RYT-200: I think the 1st time I saw it I was like, I thought I only had 4 life areas, you know, like, sometimes we're missing.

77
00:10:40.680 --> 00:10:46.429
Tracey Watts Cirino: The life wheel. Yeah, I think important. So, yeah, share. Yes.

78
00:10:46.430 --> 00:10:50.940
Trish Ahjel Roberts, MBA, MCLC, RYT-200: So the 1st one is mental health and personal development. Right? So

79
00:10:51.140 --> 00:11:01.899
Trish Ahjel Roberts, MBA, MCLC, RYT-200: how are do we feel good and healthy mentally? And also, are we investing time in our personal development because it doesn't happen automatically. So are we, you know, invested in that.

80
00:11:02.040 --> 00:11:04.950
Trish Ahjel Roberts, MBA, MCLC, RYT-200: Of course, the next is relationships which can be

81
00:11:05.550 --> 00:11:11.659
Trish Ahjel Roberts, MBA, MCLC, RYT-200: everybody work home coworkers, kids, the whole gamut. People are very aware of relationships.

82
00:11:11.660 --> 00:11:15.190
Tracey Watts Cirino: Yeah, they know that's where all the line man. But like the.

83
00:11:15.190 --> 00:11:15.520
Trish Ahjel Roberts, MBA, MCLC, RYT-200: The.

84
00:11:16.388 --> 00:11:18.992
Tracey Watts Cirino: They know that.

85
00:11:20.200 --> 00:11:25.259
Trish Ahjel Roberts, MBA, MCLC, RYT-200: They're they're very aware about relationships. They're very aware about money, and they're very aware about health.

86
00:11:25.540 --> 00:11:26.050
Tracey Watts Cirino: Yeah.

87
00:11:26.050 --> 00:11:31.439
Trish Ahjel Roberts, MBA, MCLC, RYT-200: What people don't think, or at least physical health. What they often don't think about

88
00:11:31.840 --> 00:11:45.069
Trish Ahjel Roberts, MBA, MCLC, RYT-200: is spirituality. Do you have a spiritual life? And it doesn't necessarily mean that you have to be like going to church every week, or even be a part of a religion. But do you have a way to connect your non-physical self

89
00:11:45.210 --> 00:11:55.740
Trish Ahjel Roberts, MBA, MCLC, RYT-200: with the non-physical world around you. It could be meditation, it could be walking in nature, but something to acknowledge yourself is more than just, you know, flesh and bones.

90
00:11:56.030 --> 00:11:56.710
Tracey Watts Cirino: Yeah.

91
00:11:57.810 --> 00:11:58.659
Tracey Watts Cirino: I love that.

92
00:11:59.000 --> 00:12:14.619
Trish Ahjel Roberts, MBA, MCLC, RYT-200: Yeah. And I think I gave you most. I mean the other one. I talked about money which I never have to remind people about that the other one is occupation. How are you spending your time? And for most working for some people it could be volunteering or working from home.

93
00:12:15.500 --> 00:12:17.929
Trish Ahjel Roberts, MBA, MCLC, RYT-200: And then beyond that, it's fun.

94
00:12:18.120 --> 00:12:21.530
Trish Ahjel Roberts, MBA, MCLC, RYT-200: How, you know. Are you having fun? Are we having fun yet?

95
00:12:22.650 --> 00:12:41.350
Tracey Watts Cirino: We're having fun. I did a dance party today. I've been really good lately. About every time I enter a room. I'm like, woohoo like my kids are home from school today. There's there's an ice storm here. So they're like, Oh, she's still doing that.

96
00:12:42.060 --> 00:12:49.390
Tracey Watts Cirino: So yeah, I just have tried to find different ways to put more fun in my day, because I used to

97
00:12:49.930 --> 00:12:53.269
Tracey Watts Cirino: be like, oh, once I get this done, I can do this.

98
00:12:53.270 --> 00:12:53.950
Trish Ahjel Roberts, MBA, MCLC, RYT-200: Right.

99
00:12:53.950 --> 00:12:56.550
Tracey Watts Cirino: And I felt like I was always putting.

100
00:12:56.550 --> 00:12:56.970
Trish Ahjel Roberts, MBA, MCLC, RYT-200: Thing.

101
00:12:56.970 --> 00:13:08.310
Tracey Watts Cirino: Like putting the fun off. And then I then I realized for a long time that like, I think work's pretty fun, like I like to get focused and get in there and get some stuff done.

102
00:13:08.870 --> 00:13:13.789
Tracey Watts Cirino: but not everybody else thinks it's as much fun. So they didn't think I was.

103
00:13:13.790 --> 00:13:18.270
Trish Ahjel Roberts, MBA, MCLC, RYT-200: I love my work, too, but I don't put that in the fun column. Tracy.

104
00:13:18.270 --> 00:13:38.690
Tracey Watts Cirino: Yeah. So like people like, you observe that it's not that much fun. So I was like, Oh, okay, so I need it. So anyways, I've been I've also been doing some singing, and I really find like singing and Yoga dancing, singing, just, you know, having a dance party in the middle of the day. Those are ways I incorporate it, but I think I need to do like

105
00:13:39.040 --> 00:13:42.860
Tracey Watts Cirino: more like fun trips that are just like for fun.

106
00:13:43.130 --> 00:14:04.529
Trish Ahjel Roberts, MBA, MCLC, RYT-200: Yeah, I think anything that's purely for fun, you know. Like, I love yoga. I love hiking. I just signed up for a race, because I haven't been running for like a long time, but I signed up for this thing. I'm like, oh, I'm going to be out there Saturday morning. I love taking the drive and everything but just what you like like I like to paint, I'm thinking I want to play around with some

107
00:14:05.070 --> 00:14:10.249
Trish Ahjel Roberts, MBA, MCLC, RYT-200: some charcoal, some pencils, which I haven't done before. I want to learn how to do portraits.

108
00:14:10.900 --> 00:14:18.410
Trish Ahjel Roberts, MBA, MCLC, RYT-200: but sometimes it's just something that is just for that. It's not. I'm doing portraits because I'm gonna become a portrait

109
00:14:18.640 --> 00:14:23.870
Trish Ahjel Roberts, MBA, MCLC, RYT-200: person or sell portraits recipe for my own enjoyment.

110
00:14:24.050 --> 00:14:30.410
Tracey Watts Cirino: So we have to turn. Yeah, it. That's funny, because my brain automatically goes like, Oh, well, you're so good at that. You can make that a business.

111
00:14:30.410 --> 00:14:31.430
Trish Ahjel Roberts, MBA, MCLC, RYT-200: And so.

112
00:14:31.430 --> 00:14:32.380
Tracey Watts Cirino: Right it is. It is.

113
00:14:32.380 --> 00:14:32.960
Trish Ahjel Roberts, MBA, MCLC, RYT-200: You too.

114
00:14:32.960 --> 00:14:47.730
Tracey Watts Cirino: I have to turn it off and be like, Okay, this is just for fun, like like Anthony and I did a cooking class like a couple of weeks ago, just for fun. And I, you know I'm there and like making ideas like, Oh, we should do this. We could make this, and he's like we're just here for fun.

115
00:14:47.730 --> 00:14:48.835
Trish Ahjel Roberts, MBA, MCLC, RYT-200: Relax.

116
00:14:50.200 --> 00:14:52.830
Tracey Watts Cirino: It takes me a minute, too. So yeah.

117
00:14:52.830 --> 00:14:56.295
Trish Ahjel Roberts, MBA, MCLC, RYT-200: Be where you are. You are here

118
00:14:57.150 --> 00:15:19.059
Trish Ahjel Roberts, MBA, MCLC, RYT-200: the last one. I didn't give the last of the main life areas, and that is your physical environment, so it could be your home or your office like if you actually go into an office. But you know, do you have things at home that you want to get to that. You're not getting to. A lot of people struggle with clutter, or they want to clean, or you know, they want to manage their home differently. They want to organize.

119
00:15:19.060 --> 00:15:27.860
Trish Ahjel Roberts, MBA, MCLC, RYT-200: So just it's great to work with a coach when you have things that you want to get done, that you're not getting done.

120
00:15:27.950 --> 00:15:33.990
Trish Ahjel Roberts, MBA, MCLC, RYT-200: and I think you know many times we kind of know when we have a block. You know, we know when there's something that's

121
00:15:34.140 --> 00:15:46.029
Trish Ahjel Roberts, MBA, MCLC, RYT-200: keeping us from going through the old photographs or keeping us from going to the like. We kind of have a sense that there's a block there, and a coach can help you find your way around it.

122
00:15:46.940 --> 00:15:56.730
Tracey Watts Cirino: Yeah. So do you have any suggestions about how someone can like find a life coach that's like that would be best for them.

123
00:15:58.310 --> 00:16:00.454
Trish Ahjel Roberts, MBA, MCLC, RYT-200: Oh, that's

124
00:16:01.800 --> 00:16:03.250
Trish Ahjel Roberts, MBA, MCLC, RYT-200: Excuse me.

125
00:16:03.760 --> 00:16:05.940
Trish Ahjel Roberts, MBA, MCLC, RYT-200: The best way to find a life coach

126
00:16:06.730 --> 00:16:28.179
Trish Ahjel Roberts, MBA, MCLC, RYT-200: I don't know. Go to my website and check it out and see if you want to schedule a clarity call, and we could figure out if maybe I'm a good person for you, I mean other than that there's places like yelp, you know. You can Google see who shows up for you. I think that when you're choosing someone you definitely do want to talk to them. First, st

127
00:16:28.180 --> 00:16:39.299
Trish Ahjel Roberts, MBA, MCLC, RYT-200: do some kind of consultation to make sure that they're the right energy, the right personality for you, and that they can do what you're looking for. So some coaches like me.

128
00:16:39.300 --> 00:16:45.022
Trish Ahjel Roberts, MBA, MCLC, RYT-200: I'm also certified as an executive coach, so I can help people, you know, with career transitions, with

129
00:16:45.830 --> 00:17:07.710
Trish Ahjel Roberts, MBA, MCLC, RYT-200: trying to get a promotion at work. Those kind of things with leadership versus some other coaches, you know. I know there are coaches who specialize in things like Adhd, which, if that's your thing, you might want someone who is, you know, specifically in that realm, although it's important to remember we are not. We're not clinicians. Excuse me, we're not therapists, you know.

130
00:17:07.970 --> 00:17:37.599
Trish Ahjel Roberts, MBA, MCLC, RYT-200: so you may have someone who is helping you with your mental health. In addition to working with the coach who can help with accountability, procrastination, helping you focus and helping you really work past any mental barriers that you have. And I have to say it wasn't until I started working with coaches that I realized all of my mental books, because a lot of times you can't see why you're not getting the thing that you want.

131
00:17:38.020 --> 00:17:45.689
Tracey Watts Cirino: Yeah, like it. It's kind of like it's in. It's it's in the shadows. It's like, not really right there, right?

132
00:17:45.820 --> 00:17:49.716
Tracey Watts Cirino: Oftentimes you can see it. I always say that.

133
00:17:50.900 --> 00:18:17.069
Tracey Watts Cirino: it's really interesting how you can clearly see what everyone else in the world needs to improve about themselves. However, you don't always own like. Oh, here's the fingers pointing back at me so I always think it's important that if you want, no matter what you're doing, if you want to go to the next level, there's always somebody who has done it. So it's like, Ask yourself who

134
00:18:17.370 --> 00:18:29.400
Tracey Watts Cirino: who could help me with this, and oftentimes you'll find amazing, you know, coaches like Trish, and you know other people that have done what you want to do. So I think that that's really important.

135
00:18:29.610 --> 00:18:43.079
Tracey Watts Cirino: The one thing I want to just add as a as a note of caution. This is just something I say all the time when someone tells you that their way is the only way to do something. You should

136
00:18:43.510 --> 00:18:53.119
Tracey Watts Cirino: just make sure that's energy that you want to be around, because I really really am trying to raise the bar for the

137
00:18:53.240 --> 00:19:11.769
Tracey Watts Cirino: the self improvement industry as a whole. Right? That's what Trish and I are here to do like raise the bar for that, and it's our personal responsibility to do what's best for each client and not force people to do it like one specific way. So another helpful question is.

138
00:19:11.910 --> 00:19:15.980
Tracey Watts Cirino: how's that working for you? That's what I would always say to people.

139
00:19:16.580 --> 00:19:37.749
Tracey Watts Cirino: How is it working for you? Because when people walk you through like Trish just gave us all of these juicy tidbits of how amazing! You know, she just followed her intuition like, Oh, this wasn't working. So I did this. This didn't work. And then, now here you are, this life coach that's literally living this mind blowing happiness life. But like that's the thing like

140
00:19:37.930 --> 00:19:44.320
Tracey Watts Cirino: that's really valuable where I think sometimes you know, people just put up a sign saying life coach like, I don't want anyone to go to those.

141
00:19:45.830 --> 00:19:48.759
Trish Ahjel Roberts, MBA, MCLC, RYT-200: Yeah. And life coaches need to invest in themselves as well.

142
00:19:49.030 --> 00:19:59.680
Tracey Watts Cirino: But we're raising the level like that's the point, right? We're here collectively to help each other get better and grow. And we have to deal with our blind spots.

143
00:20:01.220 --> 00:20:30.180
Trish Ahjel Roberts, MBA, MCLC, RYT-200: Yeah. And and they're not easy, like when you were saying, it's easy for us to see other people, because we have. You know, it's like seeing the forest for the trees like we are, you know, 3,000 feet away, so we can really see what's going on in someone else's life. But in our own life we, when we're trying to do this internal look, we have a really hard time seeing like the blade of grass that's right in front of our nose. So it's a different. It's a different process

144
00:20:30.190 --> 00:20:37.740
Trish Ahjel Roberts, MBA, MCLC, RYT-200: to unearth things that are going on with you than it is. It's so easy to look at other people and tell them what they should do.

145
00:20:38.210 --> 00:21:01.540
Tracey Watts Cirino: Well, and and that's the thing like, I think, one of the things that makes you such a like, just such an intuitive, amazing life coaches that you know how to like. Ask those questions that help people go deeper. So it's beyond you, you know, like you're not telling them what to do. You're helping them see that they already have the answers. And I just I love that about you so.

146
00:21:01.860 --> 00:21:31.560
Trish Ahjel Roberts, MBA, MCLC, RYT-200: Yeah. And it also depends how you engage with me, because you know, the 12 steps to mind blowing happiness behind me is a whole path to this idea of a self actualized life. You know where you are living with passion, you've identified your purpose. You're feeling really fulfilled, you know, you're steeped in this sense of knowing who you are and knowing what you're put here for, and you're just kind of walking in it like like you and me are.

147
00:21:31.560 --> 00:21:32.220
Tracey Watts Cirino: Hey!

148
00:21:32.220 --> 00:21:43.850
Trish Ahjel Roberts, MBA, MCLC, RYT-200: But it wasn't easy to get here. So that path is there. And that is really, you know, that's more consulting work when I'm working with people, and I'm really giving them content. But you're right.

149
00:21:44.060 --> 00:22:04.090
Trish Ahjel Roberts, MBA, MCLC, RYT-200: Coaching in general is me kind of drawing out from you the wisdom because we know so much. The problem is a lot of times. We never sit still long enough, or ask ourselves the questions that we need to ask ourselves to draw out. You know the wisdom in our decision making and our path forward. So, yeah, that's.

150
00:22:04.090 --> 00:22:04.610
Tracey Watts Cirino: Oh, my wife!

151
00:22:04.610 --> 00:22:05.770
Trish Ahjel Roberts, MBA, MCLC, RYT-200: Oh, clients! Do.

152
00:22:05.890 --> 00:22:17.870
Tracey Watts Cirino: I love that so, Trish, do you thank you so much for sharing all of that like you're just so brilliant. We just really appreciate that. Do you have any like fun, projects or anything you're working on right now?

153
00:22:18.760 --> 00:22:26.669
Trish Ahjel Roberts, MBA, MCLC, RYT-200: I do. I do so. One of the big things I'm working on now. I have a new book out. It's called the Anger, myth.

154
00:22:26.780 --> 00:22:42.300
Trish Ahjel Roberts, MBA, MCLC, RYT-200: understanding and overcoming the mental habits that steal your joy. And I remember when I 1st started working with one of the editors on this book, she's like. It's a mental habit. I don't think of anger as a mental habit. Well, that's why you need to read the book.

155
00:22:42.623 --> 00:22:43.916
Tracey Watts Cirino: It's cause. It is.

156
00:22:44.240 --> 00:22:58.429
Trish Ahjel Roberts, MBA, MCLC, RYT-200: Yeah, I mean, we're going to have emotions, of course, but it's the habit that goes into play. How do you respond when things don't go your way. You know. The reality is, things are not always going to go your way. If you are human on this planet.

157
00:22:58.570 --> 00:23:04.779
Trish Ahjel Roberts, MBA, MCLC, RYT-200: The day that I need someone where everything works out every day, every moment. Then I'll just be like, Wow, but

158
00:23:04.780 --> 00:23:06.350
Trish Ahjel Roberts, MBA, MCLC, RYT-200: yeah, like myself.

159
00:23:06.350 --> 00:23:27.110
Tracey Watts Cirino: But then that would be boring too. You ask the question of like, how do you respond when things don't go your way? And literally my visual picture. I say that all the time is maleficent, the dragon, that is, who I am angry, so I really try not to get there. I try to catch it much earlier.

160
00:23:27.110 --> 00:23:28.250
Trish Ahjel Roberts, MBA, MCLC, RYT-200: That's what it's about. It's.

161
00:23:28.250 --> 00:23:29.410
Tracey Watts Cirino: Green, program. Yeah.

162
00:23:29.410 --> 00:23:30.640
Trish Ahjel Roberts, MBA, MCLC, RYT-200: And then processing.

163
00:23:30.640 --> 00:23:36.653
Tracey Watts Cirino: If I see a maleficent the dragon coming coming in like it's kind of smoky I have to like change gears.

164
00:23:36.940 --> 00:23:40.339
Trish Ahjel Roberts, MBA, MCLC, RYT-200: Yeah, Melissa maleficent will get you in trouble.

165
00:23:40.490 --> 00:23:41.360
Tracey Watts Cirino: Oh, right!

166
00:23:41.360 --> 00:23:47.189
Trish Ahjel Roberts, MBA, MCLC, RYT-200: And we were talking about procrastination right? So now you get yourself in trouble. Now you need another whole 2 weeks to fix whatever you.

167
00:23:47.190 --> 00:23:48.710
Tracey Watts Cirino: Right. You blow it up right.

168
00:23:48.710 --> 00:23:50.589
Trish Ahjel Roberts, MBA, MCLC, RYT-200: Because, yeah, you lose a lot of time.

169
00:23:50.590 --> 00:23:59.290
Tracey Watts Cirino: It's interesting, because when I look back on my life before I knew, you know, before I knew any of this, before before I knew I was choosing

170
00:23:59.630 --> 00:24:02.700
Tracey Watts Cirino: my response before I knew that.

171
00:24:03.210 --> 00:24:04.190
Tracey Watts Cirino: You know

172
00:24:04.310 --> 00:24:28.859
Tracey Watts Cirino: it was just like I was playing the blame game, but I didn't know it was called the blame game, and I was just doing what everybody else was doing around me. And I when I when I realized I'm like, Oh, I really I had like it triggered a dark night of the soul for me that, like I really I had to like, really mourn. All those times. I was angry. And and I thought through just relationships that I you know, you know.

173
00:24:28.860 --> 00:24:29.550
Trish Ahjel Roberts, MBA, MCLC, RYT-200: Blew up.

174
00:24:29.550 --> 00:24:32.449
Tracey Watts Cirino: Yeah, just things that were. And and when

175
00:24:32.600 --> 00:24:35.239
Tracey Watts Cirino: when I learned to put it in focus of

176
00:24:36.140 --> 00:24:38.250
Tracey Watts Cirino: you can choose something else. And you can, you know.

177
00:24:38.250 --> 00:24:39.050
Trish Ahjel Roberts, MBA, MCLC, RYT-200: Like.

178
00:24:39.320 --> 00:24:51.640
Tracey Watts Cirino: What's a different alternative, that that I mean, that really changed my life. So I love that you wrote specifically about that because I think so many people don't even know that.

179
00:24:51.640 --> 00:24:52.520
Trish Ahjel Roberts, MBA, MCLC, RYT-200: It. Yeah, they don't.

180
00:24:52.520 --> 00:24:57.760
Tracey Watts Cirino: That they have a choice like they're like, well, I don't know. That person made me angry. No like you have a choice.

181
00:24:57.760 --> 00:25:21.529
Trish Ahjel Roberts, MBA, MCLC, RYT-200: Yeah, that's the whole thing. You have a choice. I would love. Your audience can go on the website, the angermyth.com. There's a little 2 min quiz on there. You can find out your anger quotient, and there's also a book trailer. It's about a 2 min trailer, but we worked really hard on it. I think you'll have a lot of fun checking that out. And of course, if you want to get a copy of the book.

182
00:25:21.650 --> 00:25:28.859
Trish Ahjel Roberts, MBA, MCLC, RYT-200: and you can get a copy there, and I am working on book reviews. I'm trying to get to a hundred. So if you do.

183
00:25:28.860 --> 00:25:29.380
Tracey Watts Cirino: Oh, yeah.

184
00:25:29.380 --> 00:25:31.570
Trish Ahjel Roberts, MBA, MCLC, RYT-200: Do the book make sure to leave a review on Amazon.

185
00:25:31.920 --> 00:25:40.539
Tracey Watts Cirino: Absolutely. It's a great book. I did review it. It's amazing. It's a great book, and I'll make sure that's included in our show notes so that everybody can go grab it absolutely.

186
00:25:40.540 --> 00:25:41.600
Trish Ahjel Roberts, MBA, MCLC, RYT-200: Thank you.

187
00:25:41.600 --> 00:26:04.349
Tracey Watts Cirino: Thank you so much, so trish, before we wrap up today. What is one thing that you would share, that you feel like? It's absolutely like, almost illegal, that you know this. It's like that type of business secret. I like to ask people like, What's that? One business secret that like, oh, this is a juicy little tidbit.

188
00:26:04.930 --> 00:26:13.389
Trish Ahjel Roberts, MBA, MCLC, RYT-200: Oh, gosh! A juicy business secret tidbit! I think the biggest one is to be authentic.

189
00:26:13.540 --> 00:26:24.099
Trish Ahjel Roberts, MBA, MCLC, RYT-200: you know, like I worked corporate for a long time. I know a lot of people struggle with that as entrepreneurs. You know, we're trying to figure out our branding and how we should show up.

190
00:26:24.220 --> 00:26:29.659
Trish Ahjel Roberts, MBA, MCLC, RYT-200: and I think the biggest tidbit is to figure out how you can actually be yourself.

191
00:26:29.770 --> 00:26:32.610
Trish Ahjel Roberts, MBA, MCLC, RYT-200: I remember my 1st photo shoot.

192
00:26:33.230 --> 00:26:53.199
Trish Ahjel Roberts, MBA, MCLC, RYT-200: I was like, should I have this. Should I have that? And I ended up there? I had my Buddha statue. I had my Mala beads, I had my yoga stuff and my corporate stuff, and I just had all the things so that I could fully express who I am and not feel like I had to hide it, because that's what people want. They want like a whole person.

193
00:26:53.570 --> 00:26:53.900
Tracey Watts Cirino: Yeah.

194
00:26:53.900 --> 00:26:55.369
Trish Ahjel Roberts, MBA, MCLC, RYT-200: Tidbit, but that's my tidbit.

195
00:26:55.560 --> 00:27:12.369
Tracey Watts Cirino: I love that I love that so much. Thank you so much for being here with us. It's been a pleasure as always, and I will make sure that the link is there so that people can go grab the Ingramouth, and I just want to thank you again so much. Trish. It's a pleasure.

196
00:27:12.370 --> 00:27:14.830
Trish Ahjel Roberts, MBA, MCLC, RYT-200: Thank you, Tracy. It was wonderful being here. Bye, bye.

197
00:27:14.830 --> 00:27:16.350
Tracey Watts Cirino: Thank you.
