150: How to Manage Stress During a Pandemic and Beyond (Part 1), with Jordan Friedman

Thank you for listening to our Finding Brave show, ranked in the Top 100 Apple Podcasts in Careers! "It was like the prison door swung open and I was able to see that there were all of these other possible ways of existing, thinking and feeling, but for so long I only knew of one way." - Jordan Friedman With what is happening in the world right now, it makes sense to talk about how to reduce stress during what is likely one of the most challenging times many of us have ever experienced. Today's Finding Brave guest is an expert on this topic, and he teaches others key techniques and strategies for stress and anxiety reduction. He also believes that not only can we be "stress coaches" for ourselves, but we can do the same for others to improve their lives as well. Every day, Jordan Friedman helps thousands of stressed and anxious people worldwide work, sleep and feel better. He is a pioneer of stress management and wellness promotion, first as director of Columbia University's Health Education Program and now as President of The Stress Coach, a New York-based chill factory that produces acclaimed stress reduction training programs and resources. Motivated by his own stress-to-success story, Jordan has helped everyone from CEOs and college students to police officers and incarcerated adults. In this episode Jordan shows us how we really don't have to change our life in major ways to effectively manage our stress and anxiety. What Jordan reveals, I believe, is so transformative that I wanted to share with our listeners as much as we could, so we're offering this special two-part episode. I know that the tips and insights Jordan shares can transform your life, and we both can't wait to hear how you implement these new practices into your day, starting today. And listen in for a very special bonus from Jordan for the first 50 listeners who take part! To learn more about today's guest, visit: http://thestresscoach.com/
