Creating Space For the Bees: With Jonathan Friedman
New year, new guests, and new stories! Welcome back to The Frame of Mind Coaching™ Podcast. And what greater way to be back than with a special guest!Today’s guest is the wonderful Jonathan Friedman. As some of you already know, he’s one of my five kids, and we’ve been working together for the last number of years. Jonathan has been a part of the FOM family (or FOMily, as he likes to put it) for a long time, and now he’s on a new journey as President of The Journal That Talks Back™, an accessible coaching platform for young professionals and post-secondary school students.Jonathan sits with me to discuss his struggle with anxiety. Right now he has a lot of things on his plate and, naturally, that causes a lot of stress. But it doesn’t end there. Jonathan describes this issue as if he has bees buzzing around in his head, and those bees are now affecting his sleep and even his relationships. And in talking, I discover that he’s not actually making any space to attend to those bees.What I mean is that we should allow ourselves some “bee time”, where we’re not neglecting the anxiety and stress, but facing it. And while there are many, many different ways to do that, the important thing is that you actually do make that time for yourself. So don’t just lock the bees away. Make time for them, and who knows, you could even be able to use them for brilliance!Join the conversation!www.frameofmindcoaching.com/the-frame-of-mind-coaching-podcastClick here to learn more about The Journal That Talks Back™:www.thejournalthattalksback.com/Read this episode’s transcript here:www.buzzsprout.com/1252997/episodes/9823465Do you have a challenge you’d like to discuss?
