In this second part of my self-interview experiment, we’re diving even deeper into the waves of fear that inevitably arise on the path toward meaningful goals. Whether you’re dreaming big or just beginning to take the first small steps toward change, this episode will give you new insights and tools to ride those emotional swells without letting fear derail you.

What You’ll Hear in This Episode:

  1. Lessons from the Journey So FarI share some of the biggest lessons I’ve learned in this new chapter of my coaching practice, including why fear feels so intense, how it’s survivable, and how riding through it strengthens your confidence instead of weakening it.
  2. “Afraid of Their Dreams”Many of my clients come to me with nervous systems that are afraid of their dreams. What does that mean? I break down this idea and share how I help people move past self-sabotage into aligned action.
  3. Patterns and BreakthroughsFrom thinking they’re small and powerless to realizing they have untapped power, I reflect on the common breakthroughs I’ve seen in my work and share a surprising perspective shift that unlocks answers already inside you.
  4. Practical Advice for the Overwhelmed DreamerFeeling stuck between a big vision and the fear of how to get there? I offer simple, actionable advice to help you start building momentum while balancing exposure with recovery and leaning into supportive connections.


Why You Should Tune In:

This episode is about more than facing fear—it’s about transforming it into fuel for your growth. You’ll hear relatable examples, personal reflections, and practical tools to inspire your next step forward, whether you’re starting a new chapter, navigating self-doubt, or pursuing a bold dream.

Takeaway for Listeners:

Fear doesn’t mean you’re on the wrong path—it’s a sign you’re doing something meaningful. When you balance courageous action with nervous system care, you can move forward with clarity and confidence, one wave at a time.
