Gently start turning the small pot over with with other hand until you feel the weight of the soil in the 'cupped' hand. If she doesnt slide right out, gently squeze the pot so she slides out. Use your other hand to gently pull the old pot off. The goal should be to have the upside down girl stay in one spot, while you pull the old pot up and off..
