Today Pete speaks to Lisa McFarland, a life coach, wife and mother.

When training to be a coach, Lisa learnt so much about herself, things like limiting beliefs, how to manage fear and anxiety, how to deal with stress and how it effects our bodies in unhealthy ways. This made her realise that we all need to have this knowledge, to know and understand these things. Why are we not taught them? This was the start of her journey into coaching. Listen in today to hear all about relationships, love, vulnerability and much more.

 

KEY TAKEAWAYS
Lisa was working in HR when it was suggested to her to do a life coaching course. She felt unsure but decided to give it a go and it changed her mindset, and her life, completely.
Looking back, Lisa realised she was always interested in shows that helped people, that delved into their lives and psyche. She has also been an avid reader of self-help books and has always been fascinated by human nature. So, it now made sense why her and life coaching clicked.
Fire in the belly to Lisa is ‘lighting up the passion that has always been inside’. You might not even realise what that is until later in life.
We don’t get any education on relationships. It’s something we all have to do and is intertwined in all aspects of our lives but there is no education on it. There is also hardly anywhere to go for help without shame. Lisa’s passion for changing this is her fire in the belly.
We argue and communicate the way we have seen and experienced it. We don’t educate ourselves in any other way. This is how we can get into cycles of the same behaviour and don’t ever try and improve.
We often serve others in the way we like to be served. Issues can arise in romantic relationships when we don’t recognise that our partner has a different love language to us. Just finding out each other’s love language and then putting in the effort to use this can make a measurable difference to the health of our relationship.
Relationships can be like a balloon and a string. If the balloon goes too wild it’s too much for the string. If the string holds too tight it deflates the balloon. It’s all about balance.
People pleasing is when you do something to get the reward. So many of us people please, if we could stop we would become so much more authentic in ourselves.
The more vulnerable we can be with our partners and with our children, the more freedom we give them to be vulnerable too.

BEST MOMENTS 

“At the time, I didn’t know I had limiting beliefs about educating myself”

“Everyone needs a friend, everyone needs an ear to listen to them”

“To be seen is one of the most beautiful things…You feel seen, and it lights up something inside you”

“We’ve all heard people say things to their partners that they would never say to their friends”

“Why do they not teach us about this stuff!”

“We call these automatic negative thoughts Shirley…You can name your automatic negative thoughts so we recognise our automatic negative thought…we just have to see them as what they are, they’re just a thought”
