Hi lovely listeners,

Today, I want to talk about something that’s been a pivotal part of my own journey—fear. Specifically, how we can shift our relationship with fear from seeing it as an obstacle to recognising it as an opportunity for growth, this week's episode of Living Aligned is dedicated to just that.

Fear has a way of creeping in during those big, pivotal moments—like my return from maternity leave. There were so many questions: Would anyone want to work with me? Had I become irrelevant in the coaching world? These fears were real, and they were intense. But through them, I found something unexpected: the same physiological signs of fear—a quickening heartbeat, fluttering nerves—were also indicators of excitement. By choosing to reframe the fear, I transformed it into a force that propelled me forward rather than holding me back.

This episode is not just about my story, though—it's about all of us. Fear is universal, but it doesn’t need to define us. I dive into the practical ways we can embrace fear as a compass and use it to guide us toward more aligned decisions. Fear can even be a bridge to connect with others more deeply. By sharing what scares us, we make space for others to do the same, and that vulnerability is what truly brings us together.

If you’re ready to reframe your fears and turn them into allies, I invite you to tune into this episode. Let's make fear part of our growth, not our limitation.

And as always, I love hearing from you. How does fear show up for you, and how do you handle it? Let’s keep the conversation going.

Until next time, keep leaning into what feels true.

With love and light,Samantha x
