My name is Brooke Castillo and I created this site. Call it a playground, of sorts, for my wandering mind to unravel itself into paragraph form. I love to write - in fact, I've always loved to write. When I was younger, it was an exit strategy. It was a way to let go of reality and enter a world that, for me, meant peace. So here's a little about who I am, and what I love...
Mind Manager. Mother. Master Weight Loss Coach. Lover of my husband, Chris. Founder of The Life Coach School. Friend. Laugher. Believer. I've always thrived on the fact that I consider myself a professional self help book reader and found myself as an early adult enjoying the works of Byron Katie, Martha Beck, Jack Canfield, Abraham, and Geneen Roth. In case you didn't know, I also wrote a book called If I am So Smart, Why Can't I Lose Weight. I have received wonderful feedback for that book:
I bought your book because I hated my body. After reading it cover to cover in one night, I no longer hate my body, but more importantly, I don't hate myself. I'm done beating myself up. Thank you for teaching me how to do that.
That is what this website is all about - me living deliberately. I believe that we all want more awareness of ourselves and we are hungry to live what we know to be true within us. Which is ultimately what I want this website to become. A place for people to read, become aware, and choose to live more awake by being aware of what they think. Choose your thoughts. Choose your life.

Who’s Happier?
Jennifer Lopez is gorgeous. Is she happier than you? Oprah Winfrey has an audience of millions. Is she happier than someone with an audience of 50? Lady Gaga’s career is on fire. Is she happier than a mom in suburbia? Angelina Jolie seems so in love with Brad. Is she happier than the sophomore girl [...]
What I Taught and Learned at Weight School
Last weekend we did our very first Weight School-here is what I learned… 1. Do it the way you want to do it-not the way others do it. Honor your own vision. I wanted to create a workshop that honored our clients and created an intimate atmosphere. That is exactly what we did. I could [...]
