Episode Notes
In this episode of the Shift Happens podcast, hosts Robin McIntire, a Certified Life and Transitions Coach, and Monique Eckes discuss strategies for becoming a ‘drama buster’—someone who remains calm amid drama and stress. They explore the concept of being the ‘calm in the storm’ through self-awareness, visualization, and focusing on what one can control. Real-life examples are given, highlighting the importance of maintaining calmness during high-stress moments, whether in social situations, family gatherings, or work environments.
They introduce the ELI assessment which measures energy levels in normal and stressful situations, and suggest actionable steps, including mindful visualization, to develop and sustain calm energy. A free worksheet is also offered to help listeners identify whether they are more prone to drama or calmness.
