Me and We
In "Me & We," 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.
Inside the full Me & We audio course you will learn the 9 building blocks that Bonnie Macbride has created. These frames and tools can be applied to every context through relationships, with a particular focus on primary, intimate partnerships.
Bonnie and Mallika bring real-life examples and explore applying these tools and fames along side you as you learn. Check out the full course at the link in the show notes!
Me and We
BB7 - Skill: Pause, Owning and Asking, Resonating
Use Left/Right to seek, Home/End to jump to start or end. Hold shift to jump forward or backward.
The big question about protests - how can we respond that is NOT a counter protest?
Bonnie and Mallika act out some examples of these skills using listener questions.
Pause: How to pause a protest someone is sending (in a way that doesn't feel like you're avoiding or deflecting)
Owning and Asking: Is there a part of the protest that you can agree with? That you can "own" as something you did?
Then, ask a question back to the sender (sending the energy away from you).
Resonating: Reflect, validate and empathize with the protester. Nothing settles a protest like resonating with the other person.
