Are there things you've always wanted to do, but you keep making excuses not to? Well, there's only one thing holding you back. It's a four letter word that starts with an "f": fear. A lot of times, this fear keeps us from ever truly knowing what we will enjoy. It stops us from even attempting certain things.

For example, I used to be terrified of heights. If I would look down from a high place, my stomach would drop, I would start to tremble and I kept myself from experience anything that had to do with heights. One day I went rock climbing with a group, with the goal of overcoming a fear. When it came time to repel down the cliff, it was the most amazing experience. I had so much fun, and such a great time falling. I never would have known this was something I truly enjoyed if I had let my fear stay in the way. Today, I have a view from the 31st floor - and I love it.

To go deeper into why we can't let fears stand in our way, and how we can let our "whys" be the reason we conquer them, I brought in an amazingly inspirational guest: Chantelle Adams. Chantelle Adams is a storytelling expert and public speaking coach. As a professional speaker, she has delivered over 800 speeches in just 5 years -- in cities including Paris, New York, Las Vegas, Cancun, Los Angeles, and New Orleans.

Chantelle hosts an annual event called Shine Live for 180 women entrepreneurs, attracting speakers such as Oprah's SuperSoul 100 member Danielle LaPorte. She has been featured on the cover of Business Heroine, Event Head and Mindful Mavericks Magazine.
