Show Notes

Hello, hi! Today’s episode is part one of my interview with Madeline Farquarson from Knomii. Madeline is a Certified Professional Coach and Co-Founder of Knomii. Her coaching and counselling practice helps self-aware and overwhelmed achievers reclaim their freedom and energy by reconnecting with themselves. As an anxious over-thinker herself, she loves helping people trapped in their lives and heads start taking action and making decisions that put all that self-awareness to good use. The first part of our conversation tackles the overlap between therapy and coaching and teaches us a very helpful lesson about the difference between fear, anxiety and overthinking. Make sure you’re following the podcast so you don’t miss part two of the conversation next week!

Episode Summary

  • Madeline shares why having a deeper sense of purpose and meaning is something that gets her out of bed in the morning
  • Listen for a great description on what coaching is, what coaching isn’t, what therapy is and what therapy isn’t - you’ve always wanted to know!
  • An exploration of the gap between therapy and coaching and how to bridge that for yourself and with your wellness team
  • Why therapy can feel unproductive at times - even when you’re working really hard!
  • Does self-awareness lead to burnout? Madeline and Erin both think so… but you need to reflect back on times when this might have been true for you.
  • The difference between core emotions and inhibitor emotions will change the way you think about your anxiety. 
  • Anxiety is an inhibitor emotion, it’s trying to inhibit your experience of a core emotion that you’ve learned is unsafe to feel
  • Overthinking is a defence emotion which tries to protect us from the discomfort and pain of inhibitory emotions or core emotions
  • Remember this: “Challenging emotions lead us to feelings of relief when we express them.”
