Podcast appearances and mentions of kim fredrickson

B2T is now two years old.  For our anniversary episode, we bring back our very first 2 guests.  Kim Fredrickson of Hello Gorgeous and Cherri McCallister of Breathe Yoga.  We revisit with them and ask what's been going on for the last 2 years.  And they do a great job with the "Can You ACE it Game", brought to you by The Chamblee ACE Hardware.

As a licensed marriage and family therapist and life coach, Kim Fredrickson counseled and taught others about self-compassion for years. When she received an unexpected terminal diagnosis of pulmonary fibrosis, a rare side-effect of the treatment she had received for breast cancer, she wrote a book to leave for her children on giving that same compassion to the grandchildren she will never meet. On June 3rd, 2019, Kim passed on to be in the presence of her Savior. We are grateful for a way to honor her legacy by re-releasing her fantastic mentorship. (This episode originally aired in January 2018). When people feel ashamed, they blame other people because they feel like if I really look at my shame then I’m going to collapse inside. That’s why self-compassion is desperately important because kids feel shame a lot. They fail at everything at the start. What we chat about: Kim’s story of receiving a devastating diagnosis after completing treatment for breast cancer How she’s chosen to spend the years she has left with her family The new book she wrote for when her children have kids called “Give Your Kids a Break: Parenting with Compassion for You and Your Children” How it’s a process to develop a compassionate inner voice Applying grace and truth to every situation in our lives Variety of temperaments--some that are harder on themselves than others. The difference between self-compassion and self-pity Encouraging your children to practice self-compassion and reinforcing it by showing ourselves that same Giving our kids the language to identify their failings and separate them from their self- worth Moms have a really hard job. It’s ok to acknowledge that. The importance of taking care of ourselves as moms How to talk to your kids after you’ve been hard on yourself and reframing it with self compassion

In todays podcast you meet Kim Fredrickson from California. She has Pulmonary Fibrosis and how she got it is a story in itself. She is an author, a speaker, a psychologist of 30 years, a mother and a wife. With a recent loss of a further 20% of her lung capacity she shares an insightful look into what grief really is. Across all her work and throughout the podcast she demonstrates a uniqueness in her words and theory’s. She can do this because she has lived them and guided others to live them. Compassion is a key message that runs universally throughout her work and mindset. My favourite quote from in an article I read about her, was after she found out her diagnosis she said “ I am determined to not turn on myself or abandon myself through these difficult times”. she expands on this in the Podcast, a message you won't want to miss. Enjoy. Find out more about Kims work, which if you have children I strongly recommend you seek her out, at www.kimfredrickson.com

Loss is part of childhood, whether it's from moving, losing friends, or experiencing a parent's divorce to experiencing death--of a pet, grandparent, or other loved one. It's hard enough for adults to comprehend loss and know how to grieve, but unless children have someone to show them how, they can easily become overwhelmed and afraid. What can we, as parents, do to help our children identify their losses and learn to grieve? Dr. Christina Hibbert sits down with Kim Fredrickson, marriage and family therapist and author of "Give Your Kids a Break," (http://www.kimfredrickson.com) to discuss their strategies for helping children and teens understand loss and learn to grieve. As parents learn about loss and grief, they become empowered to help their kids identify, validate, and work through their grief, too. For more on this topic, visit "Children & Grief: What You Can Do," http://www.drchristinahibbert.com/dealing-with-grief/children-grief-what-you-can-do/.

What matters most to you? Do you give those things/people the time and attention they deserve? Do you ever take those things for granted? What about when life gets difficult? Are you able to keep the meaning and purpose of your life even in the toughest times? Dr. Hibbert welcomes special guest, Kim Fredrickson, mother, wife, author of "Give Yourself a Break," and therapist of over 30 years (http://www.kimfredrickson.com). Kim is living with a terminal illness, but despite her declining health she has found a way to live with meaning, purpose, and to focus on what matters most as she copes. How can we do the same in our difficult life experiences? Kim and Dr. Hibbert discuss the skills of focusing on the moment, making memories that last, exercising faith, practicing self-compassion, and grieving well the losses that come our way, in order to "overcome, become, and flourish" in even the toughest times of life. Please visit Dr. Hibbert's post, "3 Skills for Coping with Life's Challenges" for more ideas and inspiration (http://www.drchristinahibbert.com/3-skills-for-coping-with-lifes-challenges).

What do you do when you hear a child say negative things like, "I'm stupid," "I suck," "I can't do anything right," or "I'm worthless"?  It's a new year and new episodes of the Better Together podcast! Today's episode is a critical conversation for all parents and anyone with influence in a child, teen or young adult's life.  Here's our question: How do we teach a child to get back up again emotionally after getting knocked down by failure, a mistake, bullying or careless words? There's one skill that we must teach our kids because it's not a skill that they learn naturally. Unfortunately, it's a skill that too many adults don't know how to use either. But, we can learn! Today's Better Together Podcast guest is marriage and family expert, Kim Fredrickson. She's the author of the new book, Give Your Kids a Break: Parenting with Compassion for You and Your Children. You are invited to be part of this critical dialogue that's needed now, more than ever! Here's what you'll learn about today: Why self-compassion is the key to bouncing back quickly from mistakes; How to use the language of self-compassion; The important difference between self-compassion and self-pity; Compassionate words to say to yourself as a parent when you make a mistake with your kids I'm passionate about today's conversation because I've read Kim's books and I use the language of self-compassion with myself. Self-compassion helps me to get to the heart of my mistakes, own my mistakes, overcome any shame or guilt and not beat myself up. After you listen to today's podcast, I'm going to ask you to do the following: First, share this episode with your mom and dad friends. Everyone needs to hear this message. Second, get Kim's book, Give Your Kids a Break, for more practical advice and help. She has a 1-2-3 Start List for beginning the self-compassion conversation with your kids.

One of the hardest things for parents, and especially moms, to do is give themselves a break. When life is busy and stressful, as it always is, when you make mistakes, when you just don't know what to do--self-compassion is what's needed most. But how do we learn to practice self-kindness, self-love, and self-compassion? And how can we extend that compassion, and teach it to, our children? Dr. Hibbert welcomes guest Kim Fredrickson, author of Give Yourself a Break and Give Your Kids a Break, licensed marriage and family therapist of 30+ years, and true survivor in every sense of the word (http://www.kimfredrickson.com). Together, they share the secrets to living with self-compassion and the tools for teaching your children. A powerful, inspiring episode not to be missed!

Now onto this week's encouraging episode! Today’s episode is extra special to me. I got to know Kim Fredrickson many years ago. Kim is one of the licensed therapists who taught a marriage class at our church in northern California. Steve and I were newly married at the time and learned so much from her. She was a real hero to me all those years ago. More recently, Kim and I reconnected through our literary agency on Facebook.  Kim’s new book, Give Your Kids a Break, has an interesting backstory. Most people write books to share with an unknown audience. Kim began writing this intentionally for her children and for her future grandchildren. It is the outpouring of all her 30+ years as a marriage and family therapist and her own parenting experiences — all written to pass on her wisdom and passion for building family unity when she is no longer around to do so herself. We all know our time on this earth is limited, however, Kim has an even greater sense of urgency after being diagnosed with a terminal lung disease. I’ll let her share more of that story on the show. This is a powerful episode! We’re going to talk about parenting and leaving a legacy. We’re going to laugh and cry. Please don’t miss this one. In fact, I ask that you share this episode with as many other families as you can. I also want to ask you to pray for a miracle for Kim! There is power in prayer. God is a God who can heal…even the impossible. So, what would you do if you were told you only had a few years to live? What kind of legacy would you try to leave behind for your family? Listen in and hear Kim’s perspective. I know that you are going to be so blessed by her words of wisdom.   BOOKS & POST MENTIONED… Give Your Kids a Break Give Yourself a Break How to Get Your Kids to Listen   LINKS TO OTHER THINGS MENTIONED… (See more details on the SHOW NOTES!)

She recently retired from her counseling practice when diagnosed with pulmonary fibrosis, a terminal lung disease that developed as a rare complication from the chemotherapy and radiation she received for breast cancer. After being diagnosed with a terminal illness, she decided to write this book as a way to have a positive influence in the lives of her adult children and their future grandchildren.

Kim Fredrickson joins Jennifer Christian in a conversation about going through difficult times with self-compassion. Kim is a marriage and family therapist and the author of "Give Yourself A Break: Turning Your Inner Critic Into a Compassionate Friend."

    How often do you criticize yourself? Too many of us have a running negative dialogue in our mind about our faults, failures, shortcomings and mistakes.  In today’s Better Together podcast, we’re discussing how self-compassion is the key to treating ourselves with the kindness that motivates us toward self-care and resiliency. As a former ministry leader, now life coach, I've observed that self-compassion is the one thing that women consistently refuse to give themselves. Too often, we don't believe that we deserve self-compassion because we believe that we can only be kind to ourselves if we're perfect or only if we try really hard. That's just not true! Here’s what self-compassion is not: Self-compassion isn’t self-pity. Self-compassion isn’t self-focused. Self-compassion isn’t selfish. Self-compassion is a precious balance of grace and truth. This means that we treat ourselves with love even though we realize that we are flawed and make mistakes. You need to treat yourself with self-compassion. So, I am thrilled about this episode of Better Together. But, I'm so concerned that you're going to make up some excuse not to listen... Beautiful friend, if you can stop criticizing yourself, then you need to listen to this episode. If you grew up in a home where the adults in your life didn't or couldn't give you what you needed, then you must listen to this episode. If you're always feeling guilty about taking care of yourself, then veto that guilt and take the time to listen to this podcast while you're getting dressed, doing housework or driving to work. Today’s podcast guest is Kim Fredrickson, author of Give Yourself a Break: Turn Your Inner Critic into a Compassionate Friend. As a marriage and family therapist, Kim taught her clients the principles of self-compassion. As a breast cancer survivor, Kim still practices these techniques on herself.In today’s broadcast, you’ll learn and learn: In today’s broadcast, you’ll learn and learn: The reasons why women obsess about caring for others, but quickly neglect themselves; The impact of not learning about or receiving self-compassion as children; How to revisit our old baggage and mistakes and reframe our self-critical thinking; How to talk and treat ourselves with self-compassion on a daily basis. If you listen to today's broadcast and you think that your friends may need to hear Kim's wisdom, please share this post with them.   LINKS FROM TODAY'S SHOW: Kim's Website Kim's Facebook page   About Kim... Kim Frederickson spent 30 years as private practice marriage and family therapist and college professor. She considered it a privilege to bring healing and hope to individuals, couples' and groups in private counseling sessions as well as workshops and speaking at conferences and seminars. In 2013, Kim was diagnosed with an aggressive form of breast cancer. After finishing treatment, Kim realized that she was experiencing shortness of breath. Within six weeks of testing, Kim was diagnosed with pulmonary fibrosis, a progressive and terminal lung disease.  Even as she deals with such devastating diagnosis, Kim relies on the same self-compassion techniques that she taught her clients for many years. "I've decided to be a good friend to myself. Self-compassion helps me to be kind and caring to myself in the ways I talk to myself, take care of myself, encourage myself and accept the volumes of prayer and support my friends and family offer. I know God has a purpose for this in my life, and in the lives of others."
