Anxiety-causing situations pop up in our everyday life. It is not always possible to escape them. However, this doesn't mean we need to be held prisoner by our anxiety either.  In fact, it is best for our minds to face head-on and respond to the feelings rather than avoid them.  This week my guest Alison Seponara, the anxiety healer and author of the new book: “The Anxiety Healer’s Guide”, joins me to discuss some of her proven ways to manage and cope with the anxiety and stress that comes up in our everyday lives.

There is so much divisiveness in the world, with people having stronger, more righteous opinions expressing themselves at times, even with aggression and anger.  Although peace is the foundation of our lives in many ways, we need to don't spend a lot of time focusing on it until we are in crisis.  I believe that peace and love are the most significant, most powerful forces in the world, and when we find them inside ourselves, we become the sources of peace needed for the world at large.  Are you ready to find your peace?

It is easy to take our anxiety too personally by letting it become our reality or identity. Like a galactic black hole, anxiety can seem to swallow all our powers and aspirations, leaving us feeling small and helpless. However, anxiety neither demands our power nor aims to shrink us into insignificance. The key to making peace with anxiety is to avoid getting caught in its emotional charge and to decipher the valuable information it has to convey. What if you could embrace anxiety as a friend, an inner navigator, or at least part of you that you want to pay attention to and be curious about? Join me for today’s episode to find out how.

Do you struggle with losing weight? Have you tried everything? Done the programs, got a personal trainer or maybe even hired a nutritionist? You have disciplined yourself and tried your best to follow through, yet the weight is holding on. …all because somehow you find yourself back at the freezer, sneaking in some ice cream, having your cookie jar in your lap at night when nobody's watching or going to the drive-thru after work for a snack that calorie-wise could just be a meal.

Do you ever feel stuck in self-limiting and at times even self destructive patterns, that no matter how much you try, you just continue to bang your head against the wall because they are not changing? Patterns of; Avoidance because you're afraid of getting judged or being criticized. Overachiever; where you always strive to reach higher and higher goals but never really feeling a sense of self worth, or simply being good enough. Fear of intimacy and deeper connections that don’t allow you to open up to others. Have you ever wondered where those patterns come from? The reasoning for these patterns otherwise known as  our “core wounding” may be found and understood through the Chiron placement. … but what does that mean? Join me for this week’s episode with special guest Lisa Tahir as she talks about this very topic from her latest book  “The Chiron Effect; Healing Our Core Wounds Through Astrology, Empathy, and Forgiveness”.

When was the last time you emptied your mind – or simply exhaled? There is a simple rule of life - whatever we take in, must somehow find its way out. This just doesn’t seem to apply for our minds, or at least so we think. The truth is we are constantly using our mind and filling it up with some form of stimulation. Even at the end of a busy day, cable TV and the Internet allow us to binge on information and entertainment.   Similar to a computer, our mind has only limited storage, it needs to be de-cluttered once in a while and eventually freezes when it is made to run beyond its capacity. …so how do you notice that it is getting “crowded” up there? Typical signs of mind-clutter are lack of focus, restlessness, irritability, anxiety, insomnia to just mention a few.   Is it possible to work consciously with our subconscious mind – to declutter and simplify our thoughts?

Do you struggle with being sensitive? Do you feel too much too quickly?  No question, being over-sensitive can be a challenge. Highly sensitive people sponge emotions – their own and those of others - making them feel easily wired and overwhelmed. There seems to be not enough time or energy to process the feelings and sensations, which can lead eventually to emotional exhaustions and physical problems. On top of it, sensitive people often feel “different” and isolated from the rest of the world.  Generally speaking, our society has little room and patience for feelings. Logic and toughness are far more accepted than emotions and sensitivity. Being highly sensitive is considered a flaw and weakness, with very little “competitive” value. …so what can you do? Suppress your sensitivity or pretend that you are unaffected by it? The fact is that sensitivity is a strength, which when you learn how to control and utilize it can lead to greater self-awareness, success and fulfillment.  Listen to this

Are you afraid of being alone? Do you avoid spending time by yourself, because you get too restless, nervous or frustrated with your own company? Just like you can’t overcome the fear of not being good enough by either procrastinating or striving for approval from others, you can’t overcome the fear of being alone by either avoiding yourself or becoming dependent on others. What causes this fear isn’t the lack of relationships with others – but the absence of a relationship with yourself. Listen to Dr. Friedemann Schaub on Empowerment Radio and learn how you can heal the fear of being alone at its subconscious root cause, so that you are able to enjoy and appreciate the one person you will spend every day with for the rest of your life with.  Meet Dr Friedemann Watch The Episode:  https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fzl2AMYSHRc --- Learn more at: https://DrFriedemann.com -- FACEBOOK: https://www.facebook.com//DrFriedemann INSTAGRAM: https://www.instagram.com/dr.friedemannschaub PINTEREST: https://w

In my training to become a physician, I was taught that as humans, our bodies and minds are fallible, and we need doctors to rush in and fix them. Since my training and through a lot of research, I found that there is so much more potential in each and every one of our cells to adapt, change and heal than most of us are even aware of. Meaning that each of us has the full potential to heal ourselves, we just haven’t learned how to tap into that yet. Now what would be like if there was a way to heal even more profound accelerated ways, that included the mind, body, heart and soul healing all at once? Well, my guest today is physician Master Sha who is also trained in Chinese medicine and many of the Chinese philosophies and energy healing techniques. He joins me today to discuss and teach about the how and why behind the potential we have to heal ourselves.  Dr Friedemann’s Takeaways: Intro (00:00) What Is Western Medicine Missing?

Some beliefs give us wings, unleash our creative genius and help us to dig deep when the going gets tough. Others can be the prison walls of our mind, which keep us locked in our imagined limitations. Depending on our early imprints, our core beliefs may place a stronger emphasis on safety or happiness. So how do you erase and replace limiting beliefs that hold you back from growing and expanding into a more confident and empowered version of yourself?

Anxiety is a natural form of communication from our subconscious mind and serves an important function. Similar to physical pain, which calls our attention to an injury or other problems with our body. Often anxiety can be a symptom of deeper emotional and mental wounds - whether they are unresolved traumas, self-sabotaging patterns, or limiting beliefs. By identifying and addressing these deeper root causes, you will not only overcome your anxiety but also gain a greater sense of inner peace, wholeness and confidence. Join me on this latest episode of “Get Real” where I answer your questions and share with you my tips and tools on how to turn anxiety into a catalyst of growth and personal empowerment.

In today’s world we actually have two viruses going on. We have the physical level virus, and we have a virus of fear that is being provoked not only by physical forces but exterior ones too. This fear lives in our third chakra and is the home of dissolution, the ego and fear of death. The antidote for this level of fear is faith; our inbuilt energy in the mental body of our hearts. When we center ourselves and actually live from within our heart, everything changes and becomes more in flow. Versus when we are ego centered and trying to project our will into the world. Wouldn't it be great if we could always live a heart centered life from the space of great compassion and deep faith? My guest this week Jonathan Goldman is here to show us just how possible that is. Join Johnathan and me for a fascinating interview on health, healing and personal evolution.  Dr Friedemann’s Takeaways: Intro (00:00) How My Understanding Of Chakras Came To Be (10:09) Living Through The Heart Process (17:58) The Root Of Fea

How is your relationship with yourself?  Do you listen to your desires, respect your boundaries and make time to take care of yourself? Or are you your own worst critic, never seeing yourself as good enough. Instead take all your efforts and accomplishments for granted. Now I could imagine that some of you may think, “Loving myself? - Ha, that’s easier said than done”. Or maybe you have even tried the self-love tactics, but believe they didn’t actually work for you. To  really be able to love someone, we need to establish a relationship that is grounded in trust, respect, adoration and the desire to be close to that person. Yet, for most of us it seems much easier to create a close relationship with someone else rather than with ourselves. This is where self discovery comes into play. The truth is we are always way more than we think we are. We just have to take the time to delve into our own selfcare in order to realize that we are in fact worth loving.

Sleep comes to us automatically – like the next breath, or the next heart-beat. The question is – what are we doing to welcome it? Three aspects that influence your sleep are your environment, your body and of course your mind. In order to make sleeping a welcomed task we have to first start thinking about it differently. As in not being something you have to get to or do or a task that needs to be mastered but rather like the French writer Jules Verne says – see sleep as a friend! Join me on this episode of Get Real today as I address the difficulties many of us face when it comes to sleep and what we can do to avoid chasing it but instead allow sleep to approach us.

Proper hydration is the key to unlocking our optimal health. Are you getting enough water intake each day?

As well as more extreme body breakdowns such as; cancers, diabetes, alzheimers and more.  The benefits of proper hydration can have a dramatic effect on your health, your vitality, and your overall quality of life.

The belief is that the more vulnerable we are, the easier we can get hurt or be taken advantage of. But the reality is the pain we are causing ourselves by shutting down and keeping our hearts closed can be greater than what other people may be able to do to us. Life may appear safer when we avoid vulnerability – but it doesn’t make it happier.  So what can we do when we feel vulnerable? Listen to today’s episode where I talk about being vulnerable and take a look at how we can find strength and wisdom in our vulnerability.

Do you also struggle sometimes with a racing mind, feeling completely unsettled and unable to focus or calm down? When living in tumultuous times such as we currently are, it is very easy to get distracted, pulled out of our center and let our mind take us on a wild emotional roller coaster ride. Like our home our mind needs its own regular house cleaning, training and focus to clear the everyday accumulation of stress, fears, overstimulation and unnecessary patterns. Thankfully there are many kinds of meditation to help with this such as; mindfulness, breathing, writing, walking, guided – and even laughing meditation. Would you like to slow down your thoughts, get your energy into a more peaceful place, and feel more in control of your thoughts and feelings? Then you may want to take a closer look at mediation. Of course like many you may have tried to meditate before and decided “this is not for me”. Maybe you fell asleep or found yourself getting frustrated with trying to keep your concentration, even for
