This episode debuts The Ripple Resource series, where your hosts, Chiara “Cheech” and Isa “Nibby”, share personal support resources that helped them shift, change, and grow.  This bonus is a rapid-fire style, question and answer section that was left on the cutting room floor from the end of Episode #1. In this episode, you'll receive extra support resources for you to add to your toolbox, explore how they integrate into your life, and at least one book to add to your audible or kindle account. Full disclosure -  the original conversation was recorded in 2021, so the books and topics might not necessarily be current, but they still have great value.

Welcome to the first Tactical Bite, shorter more focused segments where you'll receive actionable insights for your growth journey. While these episodes are typically solo segments hosted by either Chiara "Cheech" or Isa "Nibby," the debut episode of the series is pulled from a past conversation featuring both hosts. Together, they explore the six psychological phases of change—a dynamic cycle that includes:

1. Pre-Contemplative: Facing denial or ignorance.
2. Contemplation: Delving into potential benefits and possibilities.
3. Preparation: Achieving mental readiness and taking gradual steps.
4. Action: Embodying change through proactive measures.
5. Maintenance: Upholding consistency and unwavering commitment.
6. Relapse/Regression: Occasional returns to former states.

You'll be immersed in an authentic conversation, but as a technical heads up: our host, Cheech had a mishap with her mic on this particular day, so her audio might not be at the same level as her sister's, but we're all about progress over perfection here at the show. 

Please enjoy this concise discussion that provides clarity to the change process, emphasizing that no phase is superior; each contributes to personal growth. Take a moment to assess your current phase within a transformative endeavor, and connect with the hosts on Instagram @rippleeffectpod to share how you're actively integrating these insights into your life. This journey is all about tangible transformation.

Take a step back to the summer of 2020, the height of the pandemic, as we unveil the prequel to our podcast—the story of its birth. This episode marks our very first recording, offering a glimpse into what this project means to us, our grand vision for it, and the roots from which it all sprang. It's the blueprint and inception of every idea that fuels this podcast.

Through our candid reflections, you'll uncover the profound meaning behind our coined term for our community, the "Almost Clan," and learn why we identify as leaders rather than experts, embracing the roles of both learners and teachers. We open up about our intent to share the invaluable resources from our personal self-development journeys, emphasize the importance of community and integration in the change process, and delve into Isa's belief that “change is an action sport”.

This episode is an invitation for curious souls on their transformational quests to join us, find inspiration, and muster the courage to navigate the ever-evolving landscape of change alongside us.
