In this episode of Life Lessons, Gin and Sheri discuss how the fear of the unknown can prevent us from living our best lives. Do you often find yourself becoming upset, stressed, or even physically ill when presented with new people, opportunities and situations? Do you see others address these types of situations with cool aplomb and wish you could too? You can! It's never too late to learn how to quiet those negative feelings and thoughts and live your best life. Listen to hear some strategies for conquering these fears in your own life.
