Here\u2019s some of the top 3s from the past 99 episodes followed by a look at the next episode in the Changeability Podcast story.  Audience top 3 episodes The 3 favourite episodes of our audience to date. These are the shows with the highest number of downloads so far. The longer the episode\u2019s been on iTunes or our BrilliantLivingHQ.com website or Stitcher or TuneIn the longer people have had to listen to it, so we would expect the older shows to have more downloads than newer ones and that\u2019s reflected in these results. Third most popular episode - \u2018What is Mind Management\u2019 Episode 6 In episode 6 of the Changeability Podcast we were thinking about our strap line phrase \u2013 \u2018Mind Management\u2019. What is mind management and what\u2019s in it for you? In episode 6 you found out about: Kathryn and Julian\u2019s acting skills (you\u2019ve been warned) How many thoughts you have in a day Why sports people love mind management How thoughts have energy How you are not thoughts How mind management needs training Mind management can improve your personal and professional life Second most popular episode - \u2018The Brilliant You\u2019 Episode 2 Do you know how truly amazing you are?  Well that\u2019s what episode 2 is all about. You might not always feel like a magnificent being, but by the end of this second episode you be agreeing with us that you\u2019re pretty smart. Because in this show we talk about just how brilliant you and your marvellous mind and what it means.    What you\u2019re doing as you listen to the episode (really?) How you\u2019re like an iceberg and why that\u2019s a good thing. How many things we can focus on at a time What Julian learnt from a Memory World Champion (or rather - didn\u2019t learn!) The role of the conscious and unconscious brain and how they manage our minds.  Understanding a few basics about how your mind works, will help you understand what\u2019s getting in the way of doing what you want and what to do about it. Most popular episode - \u2018Changeability \u2013 The Start\u2019 Episode 1 The first episode saw us introducing ourselves and the Changeability show.  The Changeability podcast is for you if you\u2019re interested in changing or improving something in your life or business, big or small. It\u2019s for people like us who\u2019re interested in finding ways to make our lives the best they can be \u2013 so we can be more successful (whatever that means to you), happy and fulfilled. Through discussion and interviews we look at practical mind management and change techniques, tactics & tools - taken from the worlds of personal development, psychology, neuroscience, business, sport, entertainment and spirituality \u2013 to empower and inspire a happier, successful life or business. In the first episode you find out: What is Changeability? And why should you care about it? Why is change hard? How we can self-sabotage our best intentions Why it\u2019s not your fault - and why it\u2019s good. Our story and what we\u2019ve learnt Top 3 countries We love you being here wherever you\u2019re from \u2013 so this isn\u2019t our favourite countries \u2013 but rather the top 3 countries with the highest number of listeners out of the 167 countries we currently have listeners in. Third \u2013 UAE 6% Second \u2013 USA 19% First \u2013 UK 48% (And just in cast you\u2019re interested the fourth is Australia with India in fifth place.) Kathryn and Julian\u2019s favourites This was so hard to choose, especially as we decided not to include any interviews in our top 3s (maybe they\u2019re deserving of a separate post) \u2013 but here\u2019s three each with a couple of extras thrown in for good measure. Kathryn\u2019s favourites Episode 3 \u2013 The Library in your brain Episode 19 - Why use affirmations to manage your mind? Episode 31 \u2013 5 mind management techniques for changing your life. Julian\u2019s favourites  Episode 43 \u2013 What is mindfulness and why you need it? Episode 46 - 21 simple tips for mindfulness meditation.

Excellent - iimmmii from United Kingdom One of the best \u2018change your life\u2019 resources I\u2019ve come across.

A few episodes in and you will feel like you\u2019ve made two new friends who are supporting you on your journey of change. Well done Kathryn and Julian, listening to you makes me proud to be from the same Sceptred Isle! A Homely Serving Up of Sound Advice\/Wisdom - Ola-B. from United Kingdom Where has this amazing couple been all my life?! :) Love Kathryn, love Julian, and let's not forget Dude!!!

Kathryn and Julian's chemistry rocks! -   LornaLi from United States I love the concept of this show! It's so unique and refreshing! I absolutely LOVE the hosts' chemistry - their exchanges are such a joy to listen to. Thank you for all the useful tips you provide to your listeners on how to plan and achieve their goals, I'm sure many are reaping so many benefits from this show!   Thank you to you for taking the effort and making our day. By the way \u2013 we\u2019d love more reviews. We don\u2019t always ask for them in every episode as it gets tedious for you to listen to \u2013 and we want to provide you with a good listening experience. However, reviews are important to us not only because it\u2019s great to find out what you think but it means iTunes makes our show more visible to people looking for podcasts.  You know yourself the power of reviews on sites like Tripadvisor and Amazon \u2013 so if you feel like helping us out that\u2019s one way to do it.  Dude\u2019s top 3 Who\u2019s been with us all through every single episode and every phase of the podcasting process \u2013 in fact he\u2019s always with us \u2013 Dude the Dog, our faithful hound and black labradoodle. We\u2019ve joked we have a contractual obligation to mention him in every show \u2013 not that we\u2019ve quite done that but he\u2019s had more than his fair share of mentions and even made it onto the show on a few occasions. So here\u2019s Dude\u2019s top 3 favourite Changeability Podcast moments as chosen by him (woof). Episode 83 \u2018Self-love Rituals\u2019 \u2013 The 10th of our self-love rituals is to have Pet Time. Walk, cuddle, play with or groom your dog or cat or talk to your budgerigar. You might not get this if you don\u2019t have a pet \u2013 but if you do have one you\u2019ll know what we mean! Episode 63 \u2018How to start and finish anything with Tom Boother\u2019 \u2013 Dude features in a cameo role when Tom starts talking about Dude and how they met! Episode 98 \u2018What are habits and why we need them\u2019 \u2013 Dude gets his own moment in the spotlight. You\u2019ll have to listen to this episode to know what we mean, or just listen to episode 100 to hear the extract. Our top 3 bloomers You wont know what we\u2019re talking about here if you\u2019ve never listened right to the end of our shows \u2013 but listen to episode 100 to hear 3 of them for your entertainment \u2013 and why they\u2019re called Kathryn\u2019s bloomers! 3 lessons we\u2019ve learned  from creating 100 episodes of the Changeability Podcast Here\u2019s just 3 of the many things we\u2019ve learned from creating 100 episodes of this podcast over the past two years, and they\u2019re all relevant to you. You can\u2019t always measure your impact Sometimes it\u2019s hard to measure your impact \u2013 this goes for measuring the success of a podcast or many things.  How do you measure your success or the impact you have? On the whole people don\u2019t tell you and it\u2019s not always possible to make a connection e.g. between who\u2019s listened to the podcast and who\u2019s visited the website or bought an Affirmation or audio mind management tool or a course like our \u2018Beginner\u2019s guide to mindfulness meditation\u2019.  That\u2019s not to say there aren\u2019t any clues. Ways of gauging if we\u2019re having a positive impact include comments in our FB group or page and reviews on Stitcher or iTunes. Plus nomination for national \/ international podcast awards \u2013 being a finalist for the New Media Europe Audience Appreciation Award and winner of the UK Podcaster\u2019s Best Self Help Podcast Award.  But the truth of it is that for the thousands of our podcast listeners each month, for the most part it\u2019s hard know the difference, if any, it makes to them.  Does that matter? Yes and no.  Yes because from a resource and business perspective it\u2019s helpful to have a handle on the impact but also no because sometimes it\u2019s not just possible to know but that doesn\u2019t make it any less valuable. This is an important lesson for us all because you don\u2019t always know the impact of what you do in your work, relationships and everyday life \u2013 but that in itself doesn\u2019t mean you should stop what you do. Stickability and focus Creating 100 episodes of a podcast, especially one like this, is an achievement. This is an important lesson for us and maybe also you as well.  When we do something consistently and with focus it creates results.  We may not know the full impact of those results but there are some clear results for us. 100 episodes of a podcast are out there in the world being listened to in 167 countries. 100 blog posts which are the show notes on this website. Winners of a national podcast award and finalists for another. All of which is the result of focus and stickability \u2013 week by week.  And now we have this body of work that is out there in the world whatever happens in the future \u2013 no-one can take that away from us. This goes for you as well \u2013 what is it you want to achieve? A new skill, producing something, writing a book, starting your own podcast, setting up a business.  Whatever it is clarity, consistency, stickability and focus is the key. Review evaluate and change The third lesson for us has been learning the importance of reviewing and evaluating what you\u2019re doing.  We\u2019ve been doing just that with our podcast as 100 seems a good point to do so. We\u2019ve been looking back on the experience of the past two years, learning from it and making changes.  This is something we advocate for you too. It\u2019s about being deliberate about what you do rather than just carrying on doing the same thing because that\u2019s what you do or what people expect of you.  It might be a matter of fine-tuning and pivot or of big changes. For us it\u2019s meant reviewing our experience, going right back to why we started Brilliant Living HQ in the first place. In fact going back further than that to why we wanted to make the big change in leaving our previous careers.  Sometimes it\u2019s good to remind yourself why you\u2019re doing what you\u2019re doing.  One of the things we always said was that we wanted more control over our time and to spend time doing what we want to do, and more time for ourselves. We know that time is a resource, even our most precious resource. So to put these two things together we\u2019ve been looking at how we spend our time and efforts, in effect the resources we put into the podcast \u2013 that\u2019s the review bit. Next came the evaluation. Is the balance right? This is a challenging one for us because we love doing the podcast, which means it\u2019s always high on our list of priorities, together with the schedule we set ourselves and the way we create our show. Review, evaluate and make changes in the light of your experience to make sure you\u2019re always taking control of your own path. That\u2019s what we\u2019ve done \u2013 and to see what changing we come to the future. The future The result of our thinking about what we\u2019ve done and what we want to do is that we love the podcast and you the listeners, so we\u2019re going to continue with it but take a break over the summer for a few weeks. We\u2019re taking this short break for an exciting reason, because when we return at the beginning of September we\u2019ll have the Changeability Success Club. We\u2019re taking the next few weeks to get this exciting club ready for you.  We\u2019re ordering the carpets and curtains, mowing the lawn, changing the beds, only joking, it\u2019s an online club to take the things we talk about on the Changeability podcast and make them a reality in your life.  With everything you could want and need to help you make changes in your life alongside a great community of people like you to support each other.   More on that very soon, but for now we wanted to let you know it\u2019s coming.  We\u2019re putting a lot of love and time into creating what we believe will be the best online club for you to become a member of.  We\u2019ve been working on it behind the scenes for a while now and now we want to put a special effort into the final push to get it ready for opening the doors.  We\u2019ve been making videos and templates and downloadable tools including special audio tools to help you not only get clear about what you want but also give you the tools and support to make it happen \u2013 all within our special membership club for those of you who join us. So we\u2019re taking the next few weeks to get it ready for you and when we come back it will be here.  We\u2019ll have one hundred places ready \u2013 it\u2019s going to be really special and we can\u2019t wait to share it with you.
