Welcome to Linda’s corner.  In this episode, Coach Lee Hopkins explains how to overcome loneliness by creating better friendships.   Coach Lee is a friendship and transformational coach, and also the founder of Patterns of Possibility.  You can reach Coach Lee at his website https://www.patternsofpossibility.com. 

Some of the highlights Coach Lee shares:

• The 3 social myths that may be preventing you from making lasting friendships
• Why "trying to be what you think they want you to be" doesn't work
• "Chameleon" behavior vs. "authentic" behavior and what kind of friendships they create
• How to create "value based" discussions to find common interests
• How to clarify our needs by categorizing experiences.  Do I want this to occur always, never, or is it negotiable?  
• Why setting boundaries is all about learning how to say "yes" to ourselves
• BEAT coaching: Beliefs, Emotions, Actions, Thoughts
• And more
