Fear is universal—but it doesn't have to run the show. In this powerful episode of The Power in the Pain Podcast, Greg Pihs and Catherine break down what fear really is, how it shows up in the body (hello, adrenaline and cortisol), and the practical steps to process it so you can move forward with clarity and courage.

They unpack the difference between fear as a helpful signal vs. a hijack, why your nervous system goes on high alert, and how to create enough safety and awareness to choose a better response—without shaming yourself for being human.

In this episode, you'll learn how to:

• Recognize fear's early signals in your body and thoughts

• Create a sense of safety so your brain can make wiser choices

• Shift from reactivity (fight/flight) to aligned action

• Use simple NLP-style reframes to reduce fear's grip

• Turn "I'm stuck" into "I'm equipped" with a clear, repeatable process

If fear has been steering your decisions, this conversation will hand you back the wheel—so you can act with courage, not panic. Press play and turn the alarm into action.
