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.
Me and We
#26 - Skill: Pause, Owning and Asking, Resonating
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.
