The unpredictability of the current political climate, the conflict with North Korea, global warming and the ongoing threat of terrorist attacks are just a few topics that keep worriers awake at night.

So how can you make 2018 a year, were you aren t held back by fear, stress, and anxiety, but instead are able to show up as the best version of yourself? Listen to this episode of Dr. Friedemann s Empowerment Radio and learn an empowering daily routine that allows you to stay calm, centered and confident, no matter what the circumstances are.

The #MeToo movement sadly demonstrates the widespread nature of sexual harassment and misogynistic behavior in our society. Sadly, it's a way too common phenomenon, that especially men, use their power to exploit and maltreat others, knowing that they can get away with it. The question is, how can women (and men) protect themselves from harassment, ranging from unwanted attention, inappropriate actions and comments to abuse and assault? Listen to Empowerment Radio with Dr. Friedemann Schaub and learn about 5 different ways to strengthen and enforce your personal boundaries.

"I am insanely busy" - how many times have you given this response when someone asked you how you are doing? Always running around, getting a lot done and conquering to-do lists appears almost like a justification for our existence. However, it is also often an escape - a way to avoid the discomforts and uneasiness in our body and mind. Jillain Pransky's new book, Deep Listening, invites us to stop doing and instead to reconnect with ourselves in gentle and mindful ways. Join Dr. Friedemann Schaub and his special guest, Jillian Pransky and learn effective techniques on how to use the power of self-awarenss to shift out of constant busyness into a harmonious balance of mind and body.

Are you feeling confused and manipulated by politicians and the media? Do you feel that political marketers try to make you feel anxious, angry or disgusted in order to get your vote? The history of mass-manipulation is long and dark and more than ever needs to remembered and learned from. Growing up in Germany, raised by parents who were teenagers during World War II, I always wondered, how was it possible that an entire nation could be seduced to make Hitler, a little Austrian man without any background in politics or economics, their Fuehrer? What is disconcerting now is that new populistic movements arise all over the world and already start to create a divide among families and friends. In the wake of their uprising basic principles of decency, honesty and compassion no longer seem to unite the nation, but are denounced by some as wimpy and liberal. It appears that it is time to remind ourselves of some of the strategies Hitler used to manipulate his people to gain absolute power - and of the horrors that came from it. Listen to my upcoming show on Empowerment Radio and learn how to spot political manipulation and how to avoid it from clouding your judgment and values.

Whether we realize it or not, the words we use dictate and control our lives. The persistent messages we repeat can frame our thoughts and trap us into a mind-set that is difficult to break. This mind-set often manifests itself with statements like I can t, I m not good enough, and I ll never find the [insert the blank] I want. Many times, we don t stop to consider the profound impact that these negative, limiting words have on our mentality, life choices, and the path of possibility that we manifest.

If you were borne during the 80s and 90s you may agree with this quote: Millennials are the generation that were sold a dream and are afraid to have to deal with a nightmare. A recent study found that more than 50% of Millennials suffer from anxiety, trouble sleeping, and almost 30% have panic attacks. Some blame technology, lack of rest and bad eating habits for this surge in anxiety. Others believe that peer pressure, the unrealistic need to be special and the resistance to growing-up and becoming like their baby boomer parents are the real reasons why generation Y is freaking out. But what is the deeper message of the anxiety and what can you do to overcome this challenge, which seems to keep you stuck in your tracks? Join Dr. Friedemann Schaub s Empowerment Radio as he addresses these and other questions on anxiety in Millennials.

"What the heck is my partner thinking?" is a common refrain in romantic relationships, and with good reason. Every person is wired for love differently, with different habits, needs, and reactions to conflict. The good news is that most people's minds work in predictable ways and respond well to security, attachment, and rituals, making it possible to actually neurologically prime the brain for greater love and fewer conflicts.

Dr. Friedemann Schaub's guest this week is Dr. Stan Tatkin, author of Wired for Love, a complete insider s guide to understanding your partner s brain and enjoying a romantic relationship built on love and trust. Tune into Empowerment Radio and learn how how to create a secure-functioning relationship, how to have a good fight with your partner, why you need more than love to make a relationship work and much more.

As the tragic events surrounding Hurricane Harvey and the terrible destruction it caused are still unfolding, it becomes obvious that without the thousands of volunteers, who spontaneously answered the call to help their fellow citizens in need, the death toll would be much higher. Countless people owe their lives to those, who put their own safety at risk in order to rescue those, who couldn t help themselves. The citizens of Houston and other areas hit by the storm showed that the one thing we need to overcome such challenges isn t more power, control or money - but compassion and love for each other. To quote the Dalai Lama: Love and compassion are necessities, not luxuries. Without them humanity cannot survive.

But how can we deepen our compassion during a time, which is described by some writers as the death of compassion and the age of anger.

Join Dr. Friedemann Schaub on Empowerment Radio and discover 5 effective ways to make compassion a priority in your life.
