Episode 2: Facing Fear – How to Understand It, Harness It and Stop It Holding You Back

Fear. It’s something we all feel, often more than we’d like to admit. In this episode of Flawed and Fabulous, we’re diving deep into the F word - what fear really is, how it shows up in our lives, and how to work with it (instead of letting it run the show).

Shazia and Munita explore:

• The neuroscience behind fear (including your amygdala’s starring role)
• How trauma, culture and generational experiences shape our fears
• The impact of chronic stress and how it shows up in the body
• Why fear sometimes drives perfectionism, people-pleasing or avoidance
• Strategies to move from stuck to curious, from frozen to forward

From Yoda quotes and green pepper aversions, to stoic philosophy and childhood trauma – this conversation is raw, real and relatable.

By the end of this episode, you’ll understand fear in a whole new way – and be one step closer to using it as fuel, not a full stop.
