All your podcast followers are
influenced by their Ayurvedic constitution to focus, process or
space out when listening. You can lead engaging, collaborative
conversations that cater to the needs - audio, visual, kinesthetic-
of your listeners.
What you'll get out of tuning in:
- How
to listen from your heart down, ie whole body listening
- Why
you’ll benefit from incorporating visual and movement cues to keep
your audience engaged
- Why
listen for what’s sparking your desire and trust the flow of a
conversation

Show Highlights:
- 1:48
-- Practicing whole body listening, instead of the cognitive
listening we learned is school, is what gives us access to
“embodying the truth of someone else’s experience.”
- 6:20
-- Manage your struggle with interrupting, or feeling like you’ll
lose your thought if you don’t say it now, by jotting a few words
to come back to and make the conversation more interesting for your
listeners.
- 8:42
-- Collaborative Intelligence (authors Dawna Markova and Angie
McArthur) helps us understand how differently individual listeners
will engage in our podcast. Will they be highly focused, gather
about ⅓ of what we share while doing something else, or be
completely zoned out?
- 14:35
-- Take care of all three doshas and listening types in your
podcast by including shownotes, guiding simple breath body
practice, and having on point conversation.
- 22:42
-- If you agree that podcasting conversations are all about
resonance, consider that resonance is more likely to occur in a
two-way conversation than interview style podcast when folks are
not trying to vie for position.
Favorite Quotes:
- ”If
we’re on a fast growth learning track, we really want to leverage
the learning of others.”
- “Some
[listeners] are super focused, some people are literally sorting
their mail, some are totally zoned out.”
- “Biking for me is work. I’m actually working on
Yoga Healer when I go biking. That’s when the biggest ‘aha!’
moments come.”
- “Vatas need a lot of
inspiration...kaphas...need some motivation...Both need to feel
they’re part of something that will help create a container for
their growth or transformation. A pitta person...need(s) a lot of
really good pointed conversation.”
- “When
you create audio material, where people are not distracted by the
visual field, they’re just receiving the vibration, it’s either a
hit or a miss, it’s either a yes or a no.”
- “You
can more or less ask me anything and I’ll be like, ‘oh yea, sure,
we’ve done self-massage together.’”
