Quarantine, close quarters and getting along with your teenager – Interview with Erika Bugbee
#builtforthis VIDEO 5 with Erika Bugbee
Interviewed by Wyn Morgan & Shailia Stephens
After four #builtforthis interviews, we hope you're experiencing just a little more ease and grace during these exceptional times.
In our final interview of the series, Wyn Morgan and Shailia Stephens are speaking with Erika Bugbee.
Erika is the daughter of George and Linda Pransky and also a "3 Principles" Coach specialized in working with families and particularly in working with teenagers (having been a difficult teenager herself).
As restrictions and lockdowns become the new norm for many, the shift from work, school, and play outside the home to life around the clock at home has some families feeling overwhelmed.
In this interview, Erika shares her wisdom about how to handle close quarters and conflicts under these circumstances – even if you're stuck with someone you don't like – who may be your teenager ;-)
The good news is ...
Although someone else might be in charge of and...
Was übrig bleibt, wenn nichts mehr ist
#speaktothat Video 4
Passend zum Video der letzten Woche, wo wir über die wahre Geschwindigkeit des Lebens gesprochen haben, möchte wir heute noch einen Schritt weiterdenken.
Stell dir für einen Moment vor, dass du das Gefühl vollkommener Ruhe erlebst. Deine persönlichen Geschichten über dich und die Welt würden wegfallen und anstatt des Gedankenkarussells im Kopf erlebst du puren inneren Frieden. Plötzlich realisierst du, dass es nichts für dich zu tun gibt. Nichts. Und so wird alles möglich.
Im Video erfährst du, wie diese Perspektive den Blick auf dein Leben und Wirken verändern kann. Womöglich werden dabei deine persönlichen Gedanken etwas leiser und du hörst für dich etwas Neues und Wertvolles.
Viel Freude beim Anschauen des Videos!
Wir freuen uns sehr über dein Feedback zur #speaktothat Videoserie.

Losing business and gaining clarity during a pandemic – Interview with Wilhelm Hast
#builtforthis VIDEO 4 with Wilhelm Hast
Interviewed by Wyn Morgan & Shailia Stephens
Are you ready for another perspective on how we're all built for this thing called life, even in uncertain times like a pandemic?
In today's #builtforthis interview Wilhelm Hast, a leadership coach and business owner from Sweden shares his experience of losing 90% of his client work within the first three months of the pandemic.
His first question was: "What do we do now?" And his first reaction was to tense up, move in and out of frustration and overthinking.
In this interview with Wilhelm Hast, you'll hear about the "game" he set up for himself and his team to meet the challenge at hand.
The only rules of the game were to 1) take action whenever they felt a sense of clarity and inner knowing and 2) pause whenever they felt a lack of clarity and tension, choosing not to indulge in overthinking.
We highly recommend today's interview with Wilhelm Hast, as he beautifully and simply describes the...
Das natürliche Tempo des Lebens
#speaktothat Video 3
Bist du bereit für eine neue Perspektive, die dir zu mehr Leichtigkeit im Leben verhelfen kann?
Im heutigen #speaktothat Video möchten wir einen Gedanken mit dir teilen, der unsere Wahrnehmung des Lebens und besonders den Blick auf vermeintliche Probleme grundlegend änderte.
Shailia erzählt uns, wie sie früher auf der Überholspur unterwegs war. Auch bei Problemen erschien damals die Lösung ganz logisch: das Tempo beschleunigen und noch mehr ins Handeln kommen …
Heute ist es das genaue Gegenteil, wozu wir dir raten würden. Wenn du denkst, aufs Gaspedal treten zu müssen, dann halte bewusst inne. Nimm Geschwindigkeit raus, entschleunige - auch, wenn das gerade kontraintuitiv erscheinen mag.
Du hörst nicht mehr deinen immer schneller werdenden Gedanken zu, sondern erlaubst dir, die wahre Geschwindigkeit des Lebens zuzulassen.
Dann beobachte, was es mit deinen Problemen macht ... probiere es aus :)

Peace amidst a thunderstorm of dementia and COVID - Interview with Brianne Gebril
#builtforthis VIDEO 3 with Brianne Gebril
Interviewed by Wyn Morgan & Shailia Stephens
Are you ready for another #builtforthis interview?
Today, you'll hear Wyn Morgan and Shailia Stephens speak with Brianne Gebril about the unique challenge of caring for a parent with advanced dementia who is living in a care facility during a pandemic.
Her story begins as Brianne involuntarily goes from spending several hours a day with her mother to not being able to see her at all.
Brianne's emotional rollercoaster reaches a peak when she's told her mother will have to be moved to another facility.
In this interview, you'll hear what happened when Brianne got some rest for the first time in a good while and realized even more deeply where her well-being actually comes from.
And you'll find out how she fought for what she thought was best for her mom, knowing that she doesn't actually know what's best ...
... considering what we think is good or bad at any given moment is simply down to...
Es sind Prinzipien
#speaktothat Video 1
Bist du bereit für eine neue Folge der #speaktothat-Serie?
Wir möchten dir mit diesem Video erneut einen Moment des Innehaltens ermöglichen, einen Moment für dich im "Hier und Jetzt".
Lass uns heute darauf schauen, worum es bei dem Verständnis der 3 Prinzipien eigentlich geht und vor allem, warum sie so transformierend für unser Leben sein können.
Bei den "3 Prinzipien" handelt es sich weder um die neuste Form der Persönlichkeitsentwicklung, noch um eine Methode, die du erlernst, um bei Bedarf deine Probleme besser lösen zu können...
Das Erstaunliche ist, wie simpel und dabei unglaublich kraftvoll diese Prinzipien sind, weil sie universell für jeden Menschen gültig sind - egal ob uns das bewusst ist oder nicht.
Im zweiten #speaktothat-Video möchten wir dir daher erzählen, wie du in deinem eigenen Leben die Wahrheit in den 3 Prinzipien entdecken kannst.
Wir wünschen dir nun viel Freude beim...
Das Herz hören können
#speaktothat Video 2
Viele von uns beschäftigt noch immer der Umgang mit den aktuellen Umständen der Pandemie.
Daher möchten wir heute unter dem Motto #speaktothat (Lass uns darüber sprechen) eine Video-Serie beginnen, bei der wir durch die Brille der 3 Prinzipien auf diese Herausforderungen schauen, um dir neue Denkanstösse mitzugeben.
Heute sprechen wir darüber, wie du trotz des Sturms im Aussen, wieder zu mehr Ruhe und Klarheit in deinem Inneren finden kannst - eine Grundlage, die in jeder (herausfordernden) Lebenslage hilfreich für dich sein wird.
Wie wir selbst diesen Wandel zu mehr innerem Frieden erlebt haben und vom Denken ins Fühlen gekommen sind, erzählen wir dir in unserem ersten Video der #speaktothat-Serie.
Wir hoffen, dass du durch diese Impulse einen Moment innehalten kannst und etwas Neues für dich und dein Leben siehst.
Wir wünschen dir viel Freude beim ersten Video!
Bis zur nächsten Woche.

How I got my energy back
In today's "3P Moment" Shailia shares openly about how she struggled while building her business ... energetically launching new products and programs, always followed by a crash and burn cycle that would take her down for weeks at a time.
Back then, business felt hard to Shailia, and seemed to leave her drained and joyless.
Do you want to find out what she saw that helped her to regain her energy and fall back in love with her business?
For Shailia it was a moment of truth to realize that it wasn't the daily work that her business required that caused her to burn out.
But instead, that it was her permanent thinking ABOUT herself and her business that kept her in a trap of stress and exhaustion.
Let's have a look and see if you also have more things plugged up than your fuse will allow.
Don't know what that means?
Listen in and Shailia will tell you about her little house in Italy and the things she plugged up there. And she...
