Welcome to mindful bits and bites from the co-hosts of Connect Inspire Create.

I have found what I need to host my courses and products after testing a few and decided that Podia works for me.  It is simple to use, plenty of automation, 0 fees for processing payments and tons of customer support.  I attended a free webinar to walk me through the product and that was what made me decide! Here is a link if you want to explore Podia yourself.  You do get 14 days free.

As Mel Robbins said “Confidence is a skill I’ve built over the years by practicing acts of everyday courage.”

That’s what I did with this free worksheet that I uploaded into Podia. It’s motivating me to take the small steps for my new project that I would like to launch by the end of summer.  Perhaps you’d like to use it to plan next week What can you put it out for your audience next week?

This week we are exploring concepts to choose to react or respond.

Consider the following :
A reaction is about the moment whereas a response is about the outcome. 
and
Understanding how my emotions drive my decisions will improve relationships,  productivity, and possibilities. 

Tips from Trish
Mirroring:

• Starts with listening CAREFULLY to the other person.
• Or if you’re the first to speak, as a “learning” question to warm them up.
• “It’s obvious you’re upset. Can you tell me what’s wrong?”
• If they become angry or hostile, we can schedule a later time to talk.
• If they offer a calm response, we can take a slow deep breath and say,
• “Let me see if I’ve got that… you are angry because…” and then we ask     “is there more?”    They may have more, may not. We summarize and ask “have I got that right?” 

BETTER LISTENING is really at the core with this example of reacting and responding in a way that can more successfully manage or control our emotions in the moment.

This week Carol and Trish talk with our guest Rhian Williams from In My Sober Skin.

Rhian quit alcohol on Saturday 14th March 2020 after 15 years of worshipping wine. She became a sober coach because she found the lack of support available frustrating. As a woman, and more specifically a mother, she felt she couldn’t talk to anyone about her drinking problem and felt very ashamed.

As an IHPM approved practitioner her mission is to now provide women with a safe, open and non-judgemental environment to talk through their issues and empower them to make positive changes.

In Rhian's words - I work with women who are questioning their drinking habits, by breaking the stigma of having a ‘drinking problem’ and giving them tools and strategies to cut down or quit drinking so they no longer feel ashamed.
