Hey everyone, Benkuma Radio, how an earth are you doing? I am pumped to be back with you on a short Monday show and this

show I think is going to help a lot of people. Now it's very easy in life to get stuck in a rut. Things happen, life gets on top of you, you know, we have a kid, we change a job, we move away, like stuff just happens, we fall out of the habits that we had that were healthy, you know,

exercising at certain times, eating certain things and it feels like a real uphill battle to get out of the rut.

So recently I've been doing some videos called Ask Ben Live,

where I've called up people on Zoom,

and I've said, hey hey we've got 15 minutes how can I help you and this

amazing woman Leah spoke to her and she was stuck in a rut

things had just got on top of her, had a kid, busy life, working full time, and I just helped her try and reframe her mindset and give her some hopefully sage advice on getting back on track.

Now in the future I'd love to get Leah back on and actually see how this advice has helped

us, see what's changed and kind of get a bit of a

checking because I think that's really cool. Like it's really easy for me to do these

you know podcasts and videos and you kind of sit there and think oh yeah great advice but was that advice actually

effective like you know I talk about effective coaching effective communication

having empathy for people like, is what I'm doing actually working?

You know, you can sit there and think, oh yeah, great advice Ben, but have I said it in a way

that's actually allowed and empowered change because I'm then not doing a good

enough job as a coach if I haven't communicated it in a way that has initiated change

which is really important for me as a coach.

Advice is useless really if it's not said in the right way for that person at that time

with their worldview with their belief systems.

You know, it's like me writing a diet plan for someone.

If I don't communicate it in the right way, if I don't make it flexible enough for their lifestyle,
