Shawn is a licensed behavioral health counselor and Adam is a graduate student in behavioral health counseling. They\u2019ve known each other for over 25 years and talk every week about the trials and tribulations of life. &amp;nbsp; Shallow self-discipline, as practiced by some life coaches, can often resemble a motivational poster that's lost its way \u2013 all flash and no substance. Imagine a life coach, armed with an arsenal of clich\u00e9s, eagerly dispensing advice like a vending machine stuck on the 'inspirational quotes' setting. They often miss the mark, offering cookie-cutter solutions to deep-rooted issues. The irony is that their messages, intended to spark discipline, often lack the very depth and discipline they're preaching about. True discipline is more than just a catchy hashtag or a well-timed pep talk; it requires empathy, compassion, and understanding. It's about guiding someone through their journey with the gentleness of a friend and the wisdom of a sage. Think of it as trying to teach someone to swim by throwing them a pool noodle instead of jumping in the water with them. The best coaches dive in, ready to demonstrate each stroke with a blend of kindness and expertise, turning the daunting task of learning into an enjoyable swim in the ocean of self-improvement. &amp;nbsp; Some resources that may be useful:  Motivational Speakers &amp;nbsp; Contact us at: getmanmadepodcast@gmail.com ","author_name":"Forging Forward Podcast","author_url":"http:\/\/centered1.libsyn.com\/website","html":"<iframe title=\"Libsyn Player\" style=\"border: none\" src=\"\/\/html5-player.libsyn.com\/embed\/episode\/id\/29515058\/height\/90\/theme\/custom\/thumbnail\/yes\/direction\/forward\/render-playlist\/no\/custom-color\/88AA3C\/\" height=\"90\" width=\"600\" scrolling=\"no\"  allowfullscreen webkitallowfullscreen mozallowfullscreen oallowfullscreen msallowfullscreen><\/iframe>","thumbnail_url":"https:\/\/assets.libsyn.com\/secure\/item\/29515058"}
