O TYM ODCINKU
My guest today is John Burdock.
John is the Executive Art Direction for JannPaul Diamonds. He also works closely with the CEO in diamond research and development.
This conversation is a very special one to me, as John is also my oldest nephew. He is the third of my nieces and nephews to be a guest on the podcast and I always love having these conversations and learning from the next generation in my family.
In our conversation today, John shares about his journey of learning about his brain and working to better understand his emotions. He shares how he learned about his OCD and has found and created strategies to help him manage obsessive thoughts and anxiety. This is hard work and we talk about the difficulty of understanding our brains and emotions so that we can better manage our thoughts and feelings so that we can choose more helpful behaviors rather than being controlled by reflexive reactions.
One of the books John mentions is You are Not Your Brain by Drs. Jeffrey Schwartz and Rebecca Gladding. I’ve included a link in the show notes in case you want to check that out.
I’ve also included links to John’s YouTube Channel where he has almost 10,000 subscribers and a couple of tutorials, one of which has been watched nearly 272,000 times.
John, thank you for this great conversation! Thank you for sharing these pieces of your story and journey. Your ability to articulate what you experience and discover is of great help to many people and I’m extremely proud of you and grateful to be your aunt!
