The greatest lesson I ever learned, I learned from a clown.

In this episode, I'm sharing one of those moments where fear took over—heart racing, body shaking, mind screaming “run!” It's one of most transformational stories from my life: the night I came face-to-face with one of my biggest fears at a Halloween haunted house nearly 20 years ago. At one point, I literally ran screaming into the bushes like a terrified child (I was 28 years old, by the way). Through this hilarious (and honestly pretty embarrassing) story, I'll show you how facing fear head-on can completely transform your life. You're not going to want to miss it. 

Here's what you'll learn

• How I faced my fear of clowns
• How my life opened up because I did
• How your brain is lying to you about danger
• What you're really afraid of (It's not what you think)
• How avoidance shrinks your life
• My technique for managing "the chemical whoosh" (fear)
• How to bring fear along without letting it drive your decisions

If You Find Yourself...

• Avoiding situations because you're afraid of how you'll feel
• Making your life smaller and smaller to stay comfortable
• Saying no to opportunities because fear is in the driver's seat
• Panicking about feeling panic (fear of fear itself)
• Convinced you "just can't handle" certain situations or feelings
• Missing out on experiences with friends and family because of fear

...this episode is for you.
