Honestly, you couldn't make this stuff up! At yesterday's Coffee, Chat & Collab, our chosen topic was how to get people to actually turn up to your events. And guess what? Quite a few of the people who wanted to discuss this very subject didn't turn up themselves! 😂 Oh, the irony! Fortunately, those who did show up had some cracking ideas, and we got into a really useful discussion about what actually makes people attend. Chris Hanlon shared that he regularly gets up at 3 AM to host events because that's when his overseas audience can attend. That's dedication! Personally, I'd need a week to recover, but he knows his audience and works around them. Chef Andrew took a different approach. He asked his community which times worked best, moved his calls accordingly, and attendance improved. Sometimes the simplest things make the biggest difference. We also talked about that horrible feeling when you've promoted an event everywhere, prepared all your material, turned up full of enthusiasm… and nobody arrives. But here's the thing. 𝗧𝗵𝗮𝘁 𝗱𝗼𝗲𝘀𝗻'𝘁 𝗺𝗲𝗮𝗻 𝘁𝗵𝗲 𝗲𝘃𝗲𝗻𝘁 𝗶𝘀 𝘄𝗮𝘀𝘁𝗲𝗱! Do it anyway! Record yourself delivering the material, turn it into content for your community, get some valuable practice in and work out what you could improve next time. Both Chris and Andrew have done exactly that. And those recordings can become useful lessons for people who weren't there. Now, a few other little nuggets came out of our chat. Are you paying attention to who's liking and commenting on your event posts? Those people are showing an interest! Rather than sitting back hoping they'll remember to attend, why not start a conversation? A personal message, or even better, a voice note, can make a world of difference. Are you actually showing people why they should listen to you? Tell them about your experience, share testimonials, make a short video so they can get to know the person behind the event. And for goodness' sake, don't keep posting the exact same thing everywhere! Give people something new each time. A different angle, another reason to attend, a little glimpse of what they'll learn.

I had a beautiful, happy and healthy family. I was Mom - the rock, the glue, the role model. I should be happy. What a gift, an honour, a blessing! And yes, THEY brought me joy/pride/purpose. But, inside I felt sad and empty. And there was one clear reason. I had forgotten how to be ME! EVERYTHING was about my family. The daily schedule, the meals, what I said, how I acted - ALL for them. Nothing to light me up. Nothing to shine a light on who I was before responsibilities removed the joy from life. And the worst part - we don’t want to admit it because we feel like we’re ungrateful. We feel like saying we want more means our family isn’t enough and that’s completely wrong. That’s not what’s happening here at all. What’s happening is you need: to play, to create, to laugh, to love, to JUST BE YOU! If this resonates our community is for you 🥰 come on over and join us at Soulfully Authentic

I have an abalone shell on my bathroom sink. It has a clear quartz point, a piece of tiger eye, and a piece of rose quartz. Each morning when I go into the bathroom for the first time, I look myself in the mirror nad say, I love you, Ronda. Then I touch the stones and set the intention for clarity, confidence, and doing all things with love this day. That's a ritual that takes me maybe a minute if I'm especially sleepy. It sets a beautiful tone for my day. THursday/Friday (dpd time zone) I'm offering a chance to tap into what will help you feel nurtured and special.
