Mae explores the tricky nature of fear—how it subtly creeps in as she moves toward big changes. She shares her personal realization (kizuki) that fear is often a habit, something her system has used to fuel hustle and survival. Now, she is choosing a different way—one that is softer, kinder, and more powerful. Instead of letting fear hold her back, Mae learns to honor its presence while continuing to move forward.
