The Life Coach School Reviews

I started my Life Coach School certification in March 2020. That same week, my dad passed away and Michigan shut down for COVID. I almost postponed. I’m so glad I didn’t. The program gave me somewhere to put my focus and the tools to work through my grief instead of around it. What I didn’t expect was how much it would change me. Using the model on myself, I’ve lost 50 pounds and kept it off. Every relationship in my life has improved, most of all my marriage. I show up differently because I think differently. Professionally, the certification opened the door to the work I was meant to do. I became a full-time executive coach in corporate and built my own private coaching practice. Today I help leaders do for themselves what this program helped me do: get clear, get unstuck, and grow. If you’re wondering whether this certification is worth it, I can tell you it changed my life in every direction.

The Model and Brooke’s coaching have completely changed my life. I got certified in 2020, launched a podcast that reached #1 in my country multiple times, and built a business that helped my family achieve financial freedom — all while becoming a mom of four. The best investment I’ve ever made in my life.

Becoming a certified coach through The Life Coach School and attending Brooke Castillo’s live intensive training in Austin, Texas, changed my life and strengthened my real estate career. Brooke’s training taught me to ask better questions and truly listen to the answers, helping me better understand and serve my buyers and sellers. I’m deeply grateful for the impact it has had on both my personal and professional life.

As someone navigating compound grief, I came to The Life Coach School looking for tools to manage my mind. What I found was so much more. Through the podcast, the certification program, and The Model, I learned to feel my emotions fully, without judgment or fear. That shift became the foundation for everything I do for my coaching clients. Brooke’s work is blended into how I show up for the people I serve. She gave me the tools to become a more fearless version of myself. I am more grounded, elegant, and finally willing to feel it all. If you’re on the fence, don’t be. Brooke overdelivers at every level. The value she brings is real, and the transformation is yours to claim.

Brooke’s teachings transformed my life. Me. My relationships. My work. It’s a whole new world. Thanks to her, I gained the knowledge and skills to become an amazing coach. I finally have the courage and confidence to go out there, fully use the potential I was born with, and make a difference in other people’s lives too. Every single podcast, workshop, class, and coaching session is a game changer.

I started with a negative net worth, and Brooke Castillo’s work helped me change what I believed I could earn, keep, and create. I’ve since grown a profitable business and built generational wealth for my daughters. Her work also helped me question why I kept pushing for more when I already had enough, and start making decisions that give me more freedom. I use what she’s taught me every day, whether I’m leading my team, navigating a difficult relationship, or letting myself enjoy what I’ve built.

I came into your Self-Coaching Scholars at age 71. Your teachings and coaching challenged me to grow so much that I'm still purchasing access to your brain. I never want to leave your communities. At 74, I manage my mind and adore my life, which is priceless!

I learned that how someone treats me is information about them, not a verdict on my worth. And I learned that I'm allowed to ask for kindness, set a boundary, and not make myself smaller to keep someone comfortable.

Recently, I was in a situation where I would have swallowed it and moved on. Instead, I stayed calm, said what wasn't okay, and didn't apologize for it. No drama, no guilt spiral. It felt like I'd finally become someone I could count on.

Standing up for myself didn't make me harder. It made me more honest, and more kind to myself. It's not okay to be treated unkindly, and I don't have to earn basic respect.

But what I am most proud of is not just what I have created. It is who I have become in the process.

At fifty, I stepped fully into my purpose. I became an elite coach, built a life I genuinely love, and became an example to my husband, my children, my friends, and my clients of what is possible when you are willing to manage your mind instead of letting your mind manage you. I am no longer waiting to feel confident or fearless before I go after what I want. I have learned to lean in when things are uncomfortable, to trust myself, and to do hard things with kindness.

What makes Brooke and The LCS extraordinary is the balance between guidance and empowerment. I was never told who to become; I was helped to uncover who I already was beneath the doubt and fear. Every coaching call, podcast and lesson pushed me forward and gave me the courage to manage my mind and take the steps.

The journey of tackling this "impossible" goal has been nothing short of phenomenal. I didn't just solve a financial problem; I transformed my entire relationship with money. I am now fiscally sound, financially savvy, and leading my financial reality with confidence instead of fear. What an absolute triumph!

I have found that the biggest blessing has been how I am showing up as a wife, and a mom but even more importantly as a step-mom. My relationships have improved, I listen more and talk less. Being coached by her one-on-one was such a blessing, as well.

My work with The Life Coach School began in 2018, and I can say without hesitation that it has been the most impactful work of my life.

What I have learned has changed the way I think, the way I see myself, and the way I approach life, both personally and professionally. I understand myself better, I trust myself more, and I have learned that I have far more control over the quality of my life than I ever realized. The work has given me the tools to create a life I genuinely love living.

I have been listening and learning from Brooke since 2014 when I came across her on Facebook with the simple question ‘do you want to feel better?’ Since then I have listened to every podcast and was part of Self Coach Scholars for 4 years. Brooke has given me the tools to believe in myself, become brave and feel good about myself. I always try to put my problems through the model consciously which has a far more positive outcome. Brooke’s candid outlook and ‘no nonsense’ approach empowering and refreshing. Thank you for the last 12 years! It’s been life changing

Working with Brooke has been instrumental on teaching me what it means to trust myself and take massive action toward my dreams. One by one i'm accomplishing my heart's desires because i now have a stronger relationship with my future. Thank you Brooke and the team.

Thank you for being the philosopher queen that you are. Your work has helped me understand that it is not better there than here. I stopped waiting. That decisions are where power lies. With the Model, I have been able to shift my thinking about those closest to me. I have a new openness to their thoughts and feelings. And most profoundly, my relationship to myself has evolved. Over time, listening to you coach all kinds of folks, from every different angle, I have come to understand what it means to trust yourself.

In your most recent work, “The Weekly,” the sentence “it's not fair, and I don’t care” has changed my entire experience as an African American woman. Indulging in " it's not fair "was causing me to create the result of ME not being fair to my goals because I wasn’t as laser-focused as I know I can be. “It's not fair, and I don’t care” has helped redirect my energy toward making more money and having an amazing life, even if it's never fair. And even if sometimes I do care, I tell myself we can care tomorrow but not now. This reframe ensures “tomorrow” never comes for indulging in what I cannot change. Thank you for being an example of what’s possible; I see it as a baton you have passed to me to move forward on my terms. Know that you’re appreciated.

I’ve attended Brooke’s The Weekly every Wednesday since it began, and it’s become something I genuinely look forward to. As a retired teacher and newly certified Christian life coach building my business, I’ve gained valuable insight, confidence, and courage through Brooke’s teaching and coaching. Recently, I was honored to receive live coaching from Brooke—an experience I’ll never forget. She helped me recognize and solidify the thought patterns creating turmoil in my life. Although I was nervous to raise my hand, I’m so grateful I did. The experience was transformative. The Weekly has supported my growth both personally and professionally, helping me step more confidently into my calling as a coach. I’m deeply grateful for Brooke’s honesty, wisdom, and willingness to meet us exactly where we are.

The Weekly helps me catch my mind drama, excuses, & stay focused on my business & health intentions. Getting coached by Brook has helped me have SO much fun with my new goal, a sale a day. She's the best!

Brooke what can I say, she is my Byron Katie. I love all the magic nuggets she provides. Her honest, direct and thoughful coaching is second to none. Currently loving The Weekly sessions 😁. I could not recommend Brooke enough as a Coach, as a Teacher, as someone to tap into for the moments you may need to hear what you don't want to hear to get you moving forward. Keep being you Brooke 😍

I decided to work with a certified life coach trained through Brooke Castillo’s Life Coach School, and it genuinely changed my perspective on life. Learning that my thoughts influenced my feelings, and that I could learn to manage my emotional responses rather than feel controlled by them, was absolutely mind-blowing.

Thank you for all your teachings, your lessons, the motivation, the heads up, the fun and all the love you provide. I really think you have helped to improve my life, especially in the way I think about my stepson.

What I really appreciate is how authentic Brooke is, it makes me feel like I know the real Brooke as a woman, wife, mother and leader. I appreciate hearing her struggles and challenges and because I know about those challenges, it really supports my belief in myself. It feels attainable to be an example of what is possible, in my own way. Brooke delivers, again and again.

Throughout this journey, The Weekly has been a constant voice in my ear. Listening to Brooke coach others has helped me challenge my own thinking, keep perspective during difficult moments, and stay connected to what I wanted to create, even when the path wasn't always clear. And that's what I value so much about Brooke. After more than a decade, she still makes me think, challenges my assumptions, and reminds me to keep looking at what's possible. I don't always agree with her, and I wouldn't want to! But I really value having her perspective alongside mine!

At 77, my future has never looked brighter, and I feel like I’m just getting started!

My favorite concept is 50/50, and I love how much depth there is in everything she teaches, yet it is clear and simple. I would do it again and again each year forever!

Over the course of many years, the podcasts, courses, and tools of the Life Coach School, as well as the vulnerability of fellow students, have helped me navigate tough personal situations.

By listening to and learning from others, you can learn so much about yourself and your loved ones when you recognise the deep-rooted patterns of thinking, feeling, and behaving that shape people's perceptions of their lives.

What I appreciate most is that your coaching goes so much deeper than simply offering advice or motivation. You encourage genuine self-reflection, personal growth and a better understanding of ourselves, our thoughts and the choices we make.

From listening to Brooke’s podcast to joining The Weekly, I use the tools and wisdom I’ve learned every single day. Three shifts have made the biggest difference in my life: thinking beyond my limiting beliefs and expanding what I believe I can create; building discipline by deciding ahead of time and following through on my commitments; and embracing failure as part of the process of achieving success.

Through both her words and her example, Brooke has helped me change how I think, what I believe is possible, and how I show up for myself. I’m deeply grateful for this work—and for the reminder that I can create more than my mind once allowed me to imagine.

I found The Life Coach School podcast in 2015 and my life is UNRECOGNISABLE since I started listening. The podcast, which I treated as a weekly university degree level lecture that I sat and made notes from and applied what I learned as I went along, is just the tip of the iceberg.

Her approach, especially the Model (thoughts create feelings, feelings drive actions, actions create results), changed how I see everything. I’ve learned to clean up my thinking and recognize that things like the stock market, politics, my job, and my love life are just circumstances. When I start thinking and acting like the person I want to become, and actually feel the emotions of already being her, the results follow.

Her work has helped me loosen my need for approval, trust myself more, and live with greater acceptance of uncertainty. Without a doubt, my life is better because of what I’ve learned from Brooke. I am deeply grateful.

#1 She is so inspirational in helping me see that anything is possible for my life... AND to go big while I'm at it!

Brooke NEVER makes any of us feel ridiculous for asking questions. I mean she is honest to a fault. Thank you Brooke for giving me confidence in facing my fears and to know it is okay to be fearful. That is how we grow.

Hearing her coach others on recorded sessions has been quite helpful because all the issues are really the same - recognize your thoughts plug them into the model and free yourself from wasted emotional energy. Love her direct, non-coddling approach.

Brooke you've always inspired me, and especially when I was at life-crossroads your coaching made the biggest difference. Thank you for all your work and inspiration.

The Life Coach School has instilled in me a whole new persona. I have developed the confidence to recognize that I am already bad ass, but my brain kept throwing up danger signals. Now I’ve developed the bravery to push through the danger warnings.

Brooke, I've been quietly following you for over ten years now. There was a time when I couldn't afford your Scholars program, so I listened to every podcast and held onto every word you shared for free, wishing I could be part of it in a bigger way. When you created the Weekly, I finally could, and I can't tell you how much I look forward to it every week. You've helped me let go of so much that never really mattered and turn toward what truly does. Most of all, you've helped me see that I matter too, and that I'm worth the care and attention I give to everyone else. Thank you, from the bottom of my heart.

Brookes coachings are always on point and very eye-opening even if I don't get coached directly, only listening to somebody else getting coached. When something happens in my life, I often think about Brooke's concepts, like "life is always 50-50" or "thoughts create feelings" and it helps me to stay more grounded and observe my thoughts and feelings, leading to being able to take better decisions.

This year I have become so much more consistent and confident on Instagram, my business has grown well because of the incremental growth I have seen so far, and I've gotten tons of great feedback about how good my content has become this year. I'm excited to keep pushing for this goal and not stop until I reach it!
