The Flight School Podcast with Jen Laffin
This is FLIGHT SCHOOL, a podcast for anyone who is ready to spread their wings and take flight into their greatest potential. I’m Jen Laffin, an Accountability and Mind Management Coach for Entrepreneurs, a master teacher, a journaling fanatic, a possible thinker, and a recovering procrastinator, who has been right where you are today. I’ve traveled this road and in this podcast, I share the tips, tricks, and teachings – plus a few treats – that helped me learn how to leave the cozy confines of my comfort cave and FLY so that you can too. I want you to know that there is no judgment here, no shoulds, and no regrets. Just lots of self-love for our past selves and lots of excitement for the women we are becoming. You’ll learn a lot about why you do the things you do so that you can CHOOSE the thoughts and actions you want to take with life-affirming purpose and deliberate intention. This podcast will give you the inspiration and tools that you can use to spread your wings and take flight into ANY kind of potential you want. Are you ready? Let’s…take…FLIGHT.

I believe that one of the reasons many people dislike goal setting is because they've attached a lot of guilt, shame, and blame to themselves when things go wrong.
But it doesn't have to be that way.
What if instead of making yourself feel bad when things don't go as planned, you decided to extend grace and space to yourself instead?

How has your progress toward your goals been so far this year?
Quite often, I've found that when you aren't making as much progress as you'd like, it's because you are spending too much time engaged in backward-facing activities, instead of forward-facing activities.
What's the difference between these two kinds of activities? And how can you tell if you're over-indulging in one of th...
This week, I turn 53.
I was what you would consider to be a later-in-life bloomer.
I didn't really get my act together to decide what I wanted to be when I "grew up" until I was 38 and that target has changed several times since then.
If your brain is telling you "I'm too old" as a way of keeping you from flying, this episode is for you.

Our minds are filled with the thoughts, stories, and beliefs that we’ve been carrying our whole entire lives.
They are so much a part of us that we never stop to ask ourselves if these thoughts that we are using to make decisions about our lives are actually our chosen truth (or if they’re even helpful).
In this week's episode, we’re shining the spotlight on our minds to see if the things we believe to be our truth and...

It is said that how we do one thing is how we do everything so have you ever taken the time to figure out your patterns for quitting on your goals?

And once you identify this habit, you can stop it so you don't keep self-sabotaging your success.

One of the steps that I see a lot of goal-setters miss is actually taking the time to plan the actions they need to take to reach their goals.
They set ambitious goals, but do not determine the exact steps they need to take to meet them.
In this week's episode of The Flight School Podcast, I lead you through three steps to help make your action planning easier and more effective.

How many times do you catch yourself saying the word 'should' in your self-talk?
I should go on a diet.
I should move closer to my family.
I should (not) look for a new job.
Should is a tricky word because it is often a directive that comes from somewhere outside of ourselves and clashes with our internal desires. This leaves us with feelings of guilt and frustration and second-guessing ourselves...

When you set a goal, do you expect to meet it? Or do you let time take its course and see what happens?
When many of us set goals, we adopt one of three mindsets:
1. We expect to FAIL because we are looking backward at previous goal attempts.
2. We have NO EXPECTATION because we do not think that we have any control over our results.
3. We expect SUCCESS because we are committed to our goals and know that ou...
This week's episode of The Flight School Podcast is a vulnerable one!
In this episode, I discuss the differences between wanting to meet a goal versus committing to reaching a goal. (And the difference is HUGE!)
I discovered this for myself when I set my 2023 goals which included "wanting" to write a book by the end of Q3 of 2023. September has come and gone and there is no book. Why? I only wanted...
