Empowerment Solutions With Dr. Friedemann

Do you ever have intrusive thoughts seemingly out of nowhere popping into your head? You may be preparing dinner in the kitchen, when suddenly your mind conjures a scary image or crazy idea that leaves you wondering about what just happened. The thought could be about harming a loved one, wondering if you have cancer or worrying what happens to your children when you die. Sometimes you may be able to shrug these thoughts off as misfirings of your brain. But other times, you may feel bombarded by such a barrage of similar thoughts that you anxiously wonder whether you are losing your mind. So how do you know whether these thoughts are just brain junk, or telling you a deeper truth? And how do you make them stop from ruining your day? Join me on Empowerment Radio this Thursday, February 6th at 9AM PT / 12PM ET and learn to understand the reasons why your mind creates intrusive thoughts and how you may best respond to them.

It s the beginning of a new year, a clean slate, a new beginning and another chance to reach your goals. So with renewed motivation, you are choosing your goals for the next 365 days. However, chances are that, like so many others, you will give up on your resolutions within the next 30 days, leaving you feeling defeated and not good enough. Yet, the most common reason why people don t reach their goals has nothing to do with them not being good enough but rather their goals and how they approach them, creating more stress than motivation.

My guest on Empowerment Radio is Jaya Jaya Myra, who is known as the Wellness Lifestyle Expert and expert on mind-body wellness, stress management and natural, healthy living. She s a best-selling author, and creator of The WELL Method. After healing herself naturally from debilitating fibromyalgia, Myra developed The WELL Method to teach others the 4 cornerstones of a healthy, purpose-driven life.

Join Myra and I, and learn how her approach to mind-body wellness, spirituality and purpose, can help you to make 2020 your breakthrough year.

Do you also find the beginning of a new year one of the most anxiety-triggering times? Whether it is about facing the big unknowns this year may bring, or the sense of having to climb another mountain of obligations and challenges; or whether it is the worry that you won t reach the goals and desires you have for the next twelve month, the list of reasons to be anxious seems endless.

Based on my almost 20 years of experience, I found that overcoming and outgrowing anxiety isn t about getting rid of its symptoms, but it is about opening our mind and heart to the simple truth, that who we are is enough. How do you get there?

Join me on Thursday, January 2nd on Empowerment Radio and learn the 10 keys on how to be anxiety-free in 2020.

Does the world appear to you less coherent and more divided; less predictable and more chaotic; less about decency and love and more about profit and hate? Yet, in the midst of seemingly unsurmountable challenges, there is a growing desire to find a greater meaning a higher perspective and a deeper purpose for our existence. Many of us are on a quest to connect to an undeniable truth within, a divine essence so to speak, that grounds us and gives us the strength and wisdom to navigate gracefully through these chaotic times.

The teachings of my guest this week on Empowerment Radio, Paul Selig, provide answers to some of these and other pressing questions. Paul Selig is one of the foremost spiritual channels working today and the author of I Am the Word, The Book of Love and Creation and The Book of Freedom.

Join Paul and I on Empowerment Radio, as we address topics such as how to connect to our divine truth, the role fear in life and whether making choices on how our life unfolds prior to our incarnation.

Isn't it mind-boggling that 2019 is already coming to an end? It feels like time is speeding up and we can barely catch our breath to keep up. Yet, one of the ways to slow down time is to look back at all that this year brought us. We can think about the blessings and everything that happened, that we are grateful for. We can contemplate the goals we have reached and the obstacles we have overcome. But my favorite way to savor an ending year, is to reflect on all that I have learned during the past 300 plus days. Join me this Thursday on Empowerment Radio, as I will share the lessons 2019 taught me; and I would love for you to call in or write on the comment section what you have learned this year.

Do you sometimes feel overwhelmed by life s challenges? Lost when it comes to finding your path? Confused about the meaning of it all? In our fast-paced society, with little time and even shorter attention-spans, we are more and more losing the ability to sit with suffering or patiently observe our own distress. The goal is more to avoid discomfort at all costs, whether through distractions, pharmaceuticals, social media or any readily available pleasure. Yet, the suffering we ignore doesn't disappear, and questions we avoid don't get answered.

The ancient mystic, Rumi, taught us to have faith in the power of suffering to embrace it, even if it is painful. Rumi understood pain as a symptom that our closed hearts are breaking open. My special guest on the next episode of Empowerment Radio is Kamla Kapur, author of Rumi, Tales of the Spirit. In her new book Kamla collected twelve fresh and powerful tales of the timeless storyteller Rumi, which guide us through the trials of life and teach us to embrace suffering, to pray even when it feels hopeless, and ultimately, to surrender to the cosmic will. Join me and Kamla this Thursday, November 21st at 9AM PT / 12PM ET, and learn from ancient wisdom, and how our trials and hard times can be the fuel for greater healing, wholeness and happiness.

For most of us, the fear of death is almost as inevitable as the event itself. It is a fear that makes us want to eat healthier, drink less, work out more and maybe, once in a while, even get a colonoscopy. Yet, no matter what we do, we can't avoid the fact that we all have an expiration date. This is why, for most of us, avoiding thoughts about death seems like the best option to cope.

However, while avoiding this topic can reduce a little discomfort in the short term, it probably makes us much more anxious about dying in the long term. But, what if there are ways to find more peace and acceptance with death, while acknowledging what it can teach us about life?

Join me on Empowerment Radio (and on Facebook Live) this Thursday, November 7th at 9AM PT / Noon ET to learn ways on how to overcome the fear of our mortality.

Many people are afraid of the inevitable changes that come with getting older. Whether it is the physical decline, the wrinkled face or the loss of relevance, the golden years are often perceived as a nightmare waiting to happen. For some the fear of aging even starts already in their early twenties.

Yet, since we can t avoid the aging process, what if we could embrace our maturity with joy and confidence? My special guest on this week s episode of Empowerment Radio is clinical psychologist Dr. Carla Marie Manly, whose book Aging Joyfully provides important insights and practical tools on how to approach the later years with greater ease and grace. Join Dr. Manly and me on Thursday, October 17th at 9AM PT/Noon ET to learn more about her holistic, mind-body-spirit approach on overcoming the fear of aging.

Whether you were the victim of emotional, physical or sexual abuse, whether you were molested as a child or tormented as an adult, the emotional and psychological wounds that have been inflicted on you, may have become a constant reminder of the traumas you went through. Despite your efforts to move beyond the past, the abuse may have become your identity, as you see yourself either as a victim or a survivor of the tribble things that were done to you.

But what if the pain others caused you could help you to remember your truth - and teach you how to love and appreciate yourself more?

Listen to Empowerment Radio this Thursday, October 3 at 9AM PT/Noon ET and learn how to de-identify from trauma and abuse and reclaim your wholeness within.
