Listen Later

Ahmad Jooma is a curious observer of human behaviour, focusing on life fulfilment as an artist and coach. 

 

Over a decade of personal growth, he's identified his superpower—emotional resilience—forged through self-exploration and experiences. 

 

Ahmad enables children and men in accessing and expressing their emotions, guiding them past obstacles. 

 

By authentically sharing his vulnerabilities and drawing from his background as a care director, he empowers others to develop their authenticity, vulnerability, and emotional resilience.

 

Ahmad Jooma and I were doing this podcast together back in the days when it was called The Authentic Dating. Since he stepped away he went on to explore the concept of fear and how we interact with fear. The concept that he came up with is a character called Shook Man. It's a name and a face behind that little voice in our head that tells us what we can and can't do, telling us a million different things that are going to go wrong.

 

Key topics include: 

⭐️ The Many Shades of Fear & How It Can Show Up in Our Lives

⭐️ Seeking Validation Outside of Ourselves & The Need to Outgrow This Phase

⭐️ The Fear of Initiation and The Call to Continually Step Into the Unknown

⭐️ The Fear of Commitment, Fear of Rejection, Fear of Failure

⭐️ Visualizing the Potential Future of Staying In Our Comfort Zones

⭐️ The Sense of Safety and Playing Small

⭐️ The Importance of Cultivating Joy As an Antidote to Our Fears

⭐️ Self Acceptance - The Biggest Challenge of Feeling Joy

⭐️ How To Connect to Ourselves & Face Our Inner Shook Man

⭐️ Creating a Structure That Will Support Us On The Journey Through Fear

⭐️ The Inevitability of Pain & Optionality of Suffering

⭐️ Working with Kids on Fears and Developing Emotional Awareness
