Me and We
In the “Me & We” podcast, we learn to develop our “me” as we influence our “we”. How do we have less suffering and more fun in whatever situation we find ourselves in? How do we take action based on our values? Can we be who we are with more ease? Hosts Bonnie Macbride and Mallika Bush share frames and tools with real-life examples, offering this podcast to help you access your life energy, make use of your emotions, and find more satisfaction in your life and relationships.
In season one, you will learn the 9 building blocks that Bonnie Macbride has developed. These frames and tools can be applied to every context through relationships, with a particular focus on primary, intimate partnerships.

#25 - BB7: Protests Part 2
There is protest happening everywhere, especially in the last 10-15 years.
We don't have to be on the receiving end of blame and shame EVERYWHERE we go. But, it is important to open up this channel to receive when someone is daring to let us know that something isn't working for them.
How can we work with protest to find something else that's possible, rather than what typically happens - which is a counter protest.
How is a protest a "call to respond?"
The best way to influence how someone is protesting is to actually welcome them to protest. "Bring it on, babe" "I'm ready in this moment to hear what's important to you."
Receive the protest with the skills, which slows it down.
This is a slow, building process, getting these Building Blocks in place. Be kind and gentle with yourself as you learn and grow.
