Welcome to another episode in season 7 of The Mobile Mentor pod!! And episode on a topic that's SUPER important to me: Empathy. And this was brought about by some family friction this recent Christmas (because, duh!). I chat about said family friction, how it affected me, and what I realised about myself and my defaults as a result of other people's situations and emotions. And tbh, I wasn't totally happy about it. Moving forward, I'm considering how to adapt my empathy. You'll find out why... Themes in the episode: -Empathy in relationships of all kinds -The different types of empathy (there are 3!) -Why too much empathy isn't a good thing -Toggling empathy for the right relationships and moments -Extending empathy to oneself -Compassion vs. Empathy -Childhood trauma, coping strategies, and why I am how I am -People pleasing -Emotional management _____________________ If you prefer a read, check out my resurrected blog: https://themobilementor.blogspot.com/ (Lol, let's appreciate the 90s-core website energy!).

Send us a textIn this podcast episode Tony uncovers what it is like to be in solitude which is totally different than what it is to be alone. There is something that connects us to people when we are more dependent on others and when they are not there we feel more alone. Is this true? Have we as a society have become or better said have been trained to become dependent on what others think of us and we value their opinion of us? Tony gives several examples of how children are more likely to be dependent on others when they are bored. Why is it such a bad thing that our kids are inactivate and we have to "entertain them" so they are doing something?

I AM BACK after 4 months out! I missed being here, but tbh I just wasn't ready. 2024 may have knocked me a lot harder than '23 (!!?)–because boy was it full of change and uncertainty–so much so, I took time off podcasting to refocus on getting well and clear. So here's my life update. The theme is: Rejection + Reflection = Redirection. The end of the year is usually the time for taking stock of impactful events, so here are mine, my self-observations along the way, and what I'm taking into 2025. Themes in this episode: -Being laid off work -When it rains it pours (a series of unfortunate events) -Having an unexpected healing period and starting again in my early thirties -Living in alignment with my values -Life choices... What did this period teach me? -Knowing yourself, your limits and capacity – and when to ask for help! -Doing what feels authentic, not doing what you “should” do -Reframing periods of ‘not achieving' to something that's kinder to yourself -Living from a place fear vs. from a place of love -Taking a new work direction and considering a career change -Change hits harder the older I get… -Self-compassion Expect a Part 2 – the 6 key learnings and tools that got me through.

This episode explores the art of being alone and embracing solitude as a source of strength, growth, and self-discovery. The Good Read for this episode is ART OF BEING ALONE: Solitude is My Home Loneliness was My Cage by Renuka Gavrani The Art of Being Alone is more than just a self-help book. It's a journey-my journey. After spending years hoping for people to stay, I learned the value of my own company and began growing, exploring, and building my dream life. Now, I want to show you how to transform your “alone time” into a tool for growth and fulfillment. Why Are We Afraid of Being Alone? We've been made to believe that loneliness is a curse, and we'll settle for shallow relationships just to avoid it. But in doing so, we lose our sense of self and miss the chance for true growth. Finding Strength in Solitude This book is divided into two parts: Turning Loneliness into Solitude - Here, I'll guide you to redefine “alone time” as a space for discovery and empowerment.

Are dogs color blind? Many people believe so, but they are not. They do see color but not the way we do. This episode begins with a look at what colors they can and can't see and why it is important. https://www.psychologytoday.com/intl/blog/canine-corner/200810/can-dogs-see-colors How you will react in an emergency or disaster is hard to predict. Yet how people react can make the difference between life and death. It's not just physical preparation but also mental – to think about what you will do. Here to explain the process your brain goes through when an emergency or disaster strikes and offer some suggestions on how to better plan for them is Amanda Ripley. She is a writer whose work has appeared in the Washington Post, The New York Times, The Atlantic, The Wall Street Journal, and many other publications and she is author of the book, The Unthinkable Who Survives When Disaster Strikes--and Why (https://amzn.to/4fGJakN). Some people like their solitude more than others. They cherish their time alone. Yet there is a stigma about solitude. People often think that others who spend a lot of time alone must have something wrong with them or they must be lonely or have no friends. Not necessarily. In the right dose, solitude can be very powerful. Joining me to discuss this is Netta Weinstein is an internationally recognized psychologist and director of the European Research Council's 'Solitude: Alone but Resilient (SOAR)' project. She is also professor of psychology at the University of Reading and an associate researcher at the Oxford Internet Institute, University of Oxford, UK. Netta is author of the book Solitude: The Science and Power of Being Alone (https://amzn.to/3X1XkWf). Your cellphone is crawling with germs – more than you realize.

So many of us fantasize about being rich. Wouldn't it be great to win the lottery or inherit a ton of money or be born into a wealthy family? Well it isn't always as wonderful as you might imagine. Listen as I begin by explaining what being rich does to some people – especially young people. Source: Dr. Stephen Berglas author of Reclaiming the Fire (https://amzn.to/3VjeRIS) Almost no one dreams about math. Almost everyone dreams about falling or being chased. These are just some of the fascinating things I discuss about dreams with Dr. Rahul Jandial. He is a neurosurgeon and neuroscientist who has been studying why people dream and what happens in the brain when dreams occur. If you have wondered about your dreams and how they affect you, you need to hear this conversation. Dr. Jandial is the author of several books, his latest is called, This Is Why You Dream: What Your Sleeping Brain Reveals About Your Waking Life (https://amzn.to/3KmOE5N). Do you like solitude? We all like it somewhat – and some of us like a lot of solitude. Is that a problem? After all, humans are social creatures. We like to be with others. Still there are many people who cherish “alone time.” To understand why solitude is so important, listen to my guest Netta Weinstein. She is a psychologist and director of the European Research Council's 'Solitude: Alone but Resilient (SOAR)' project. She is also professor of psychology at the University of Reading and an associate researcher at the Oxford Internet Institute at the University of Oxford. Netta is author of the book Solitude: The Science and Power of Being Alone (https://amzn.to/3wVA7eb). Every once in a while, you will see something on a menu labeled “organic seafood.” What does that mean? How can seafood be organic? Listen and I will explain why it is probably not as organic as you would like it to be. https://www.foodrepublic.com/1413904/why-organic-seafood-myth/ PLEASE SUPPORT OUR SPONSORS!

HelloWelcome to Life Points with Ronda, the podcast that helps you navigate life's challenges with practical wisdom and actionable advice. where we discuss important topics that affect our everyday lives. Today, is a quick one and I'm speaking to the collective and our topic for today is: "Love and Solitude: Navigating the Holidays"As the holiday season rolls around, emotions are amplified, and the focus on relationships becomes almost unavoidable. The twinkle of festive lights and the sweet aroma of holiday treats can evoke a sense of warmth and togetherness. At the same time, they can stir feelings of loneliness for those spending the holidays alone. On "Life Points with Ronda", we delve into the contrasting experiences of being in love during the holidays versus experiencing them alone.First, let's explore the beauty and challenges of being in a relationship during the holiday season.**Being in Love for the Holidays**There is a unique magic in sharing the holiday season with someone you love. The shared experiences, from selecting a Christmas tree to cooking a festive meal, can strengthen your bond. They offer an opportunity to create traditions that are distinctly yours, blending past celebrations with new shared experiences.However, being in a relationship during the holidays also comes with its own set of challenges. There are the practical aspects, like deciding whose family to visit or how to divide your time between different events. Then there's the potential pressure to meet certain expectations, whether it's finding the perfect gift or creating an Instagram-worthy holiday experience.Remember that it's essential to communicate openly about your expectations and to negotiate compromises. It's okay if your holidays don't look like a Hallmark movie – what matters is that they reflect what is meaningful and enjoyable for both of you.**Being Alone for the Holidays**On the flip side, spending the holidays alone can be an emotionally charged experience. The portrayal of holidays in media often revolves around family gatherings and romantic moments, which can amplify feelings of loneliness.However, being alone for the holidays doesn't necessarily mean being lonely. It can also present an opportunity for self-reflection, self-care, and personal growth. You can set your own traditions, indulge in what you love, and enjoy the freedom that comes with not having to accommodate another person's preferences.If you find the solitude challenging, consider reaching out to friends or volunteering your time to a cause you care about. You could also take this time to explore new interests or hobbies. It's a chance to redefine what the holiday season means to you.**Finding Balance**Whether you're in love or alone during the holidays, remember to consider your emotional needs. If you're in a relationship, ensure you're not losing yourself in the pursuit of creating the "perfect" holiday. If you're alone, be proactive in taking care of your mental health.Both scenarios can offer opportunities for growth and self-discovery. Being in love during the holidays can teach you about compromise, communication, and shared joy. Being alone can empower you and offer insights into your personal needs and desires.So, as the holiday season unfolds, embrace your situationSupport the showhttps://chat.openai.com/g/g-8E47AuJfB-life-points-assistanthttps://FaceBook.com/Lifepointswithronda1https://youtube.com/@lifepointswithronda2968https://TikTok.com/@lifepointswithrondahttps://Instagram.com/@lifepointswithrondahttps://Patreon.com/@lifepointswithrondahttps://Lifepointswithronda.com
