The Transformational Coach - Thoughts from my Sofa Rhona Barton

This is the final episode for this Podcast due to my business, and podcast taking a change of direction.  I want to sum up my gratitude for the last 2 years and thank each of you lovely listeners for coming along with me.



I'll be back with the Believe in ME with Rhona Barton podcast which launches on 16th May 2022.  Feel free to join me there.



Take care

Hi!  I’m Rhona Barton from Believe in ME with Rhona Barton podcast.  A podcast about all things Myalgic Encephalomyelitis related.

As somebody who lived with ME for almost 10 years, I’m passionate about offering hope and inspiration to others who are experiencing ME.  I haven’t really shared my own story with ME in much detail over the years but in the past few months I’ve been invited to do so more and more to the point where I feel now is the right time to share more fully. I was bed-bound and wheelchair-bound with ME before finding my feet again and coming through the other side so believe me when I say, I understand what you’re going through.

If you are a woman living with ME, or you have recently been diagnosed with ME, then I’m here for you!  I’ve been there, done that and I’ve not only got the t-shirt but I’ve worn holes in it too through all my trial and error!

So why don’t you join me?  You can subscribe now to receive notifications of each episode and Season 1 launches on 16th May 2022 to round off ME Awareness Week.

Like, share and subscribe to Believe in ME with Rhona Barton via Apple podcasts, Spotify or wherever you find your podcasts.

Hello lovely listener!



This week I'm afraid I don't have an episode for you.  What I have instead is some very exciting news!



Have a listen to this micro-episode where I fill you in on some of the excitement.  I'm not giving it all away at this point though! 



Speak to you next week!

As part of my Common Humanity mini-series, today I'm talking more about Self-Esteem and Self-Confidence.



Do you live with low Self-Esteem?  Do you want to continue living with it?  If not, then this episode may help you gather your thoughts and ideas around the topic.



When people feel isolated, they feel like they're the only ones who make mistakes.  This feeling can use us to view the shame, inadequacy and guilt we may feel, as larger than it needs to be.



Is there something you've done recently that's made you feel like this?  How would viewing things through the lens of common humanity change the way you feel about yourself?



Do you view things are your own personal failings or are you just having a bad day?



Listen now for some hints and tips on how to identify if you have low self-esteem and what actions you can put in place today, to help turn that around!



If this is something you wish to work on as a personal goal, consider signing up for my 90-day Coaching programme, Renew you! Love your Life! by visiting my website.



Until next week!

Our Common Humanity reminds us that we are not alone in how we are feeling or what we are experiencing be it good, bad or indifferent.



When we go through troublesome times, our self-esteem can take a hit and we can end up feeling and thinking that we're the only one dealing with this situation.  That's not true!  Other people have been where you are and have made it through.  So can you.  And you can help to rebuild your self-esteem in the process.



This week we're looking at how to do this.



As a reminder, the FREE ebook (1% Better) has now ended but you can buy the book via my website.



Likewise, the Notebook giveaway has ended and the recipient of the giveaway has been notified.  You can still purchase my notebooks via the website.

Speak to you next week!

Following on from last week's episode; part 2 of this guided mediation has a warning for FEET in it!  If feet aren't your thing, may I recommend listening to the introduction then skipping ahead to the end of the episode to find out what next week will bring.

To begin this mediation, please bring kind awareness to:


how your stomach, chest and head feel when you reflect on this topic
the emotions that you can associate with these feelings
the positive and negative impact of any stories you believe or have been told in regards to this topic
the fact that many others are feeling the same way about this topic as you (you are not alone!)
how you might feel with increased awareness around this topic
when you can apply increased awareness or mindfulness to this topic in your day-to-day life

This meditation can be done immediately after Part 1 or on its own.  It's an excellent practice in connecting with the body and works well when a sitting meditation practice seems especially difficult.

You'll want to have your favourite body lotion, foot lotion or massage oil nearby for use throughout this session.

Happy massaging leads to happy feet!

There's still a few days left to pick up your FREE copy of my 1% Better eBook (www.rhonabarton.co.uk/publications) and enter the giveaway to win a set of my notebooks (www.rhonabarton.co.uk/publications).  Head to Apple Podcasts and leave a review of the show or leave me a voicemail at www.speakpipe.com/ttc

The giveaway and FREE ebook end on 31st March 2022!

Speak to you next week!
