In this episode, I’m sharing my personal year-in-review for 2024—a year that felt like living five years in one. I’ll take you behind the scenes of my biggest accomplishments, lessons learned, and how reflection has shaped my business and personal life.

I also want to talk about someone who has been a huge part of my journey this year: Debbie Shadid. Debbie is my friend, business coach, and mentor, and I wouldn’t be where I am today without her.

Today we are diving deep into the physiological responses that occur when you're afraid to take action and someone tells you, "Just do it." 

We will talk about the intricate workings of the nervous system, including the role of the amygdala and the sympathetic nervous system, and how these responses manifest in both your body and mind. We will also discuss how understanding these responses can help you manage fear and push past it to achieve your goals and what to do instead of falling into this “Just do it Fallacy.”

Main Points:

• Physiological Responses to Fear: Increased heart rate, adrenaline surge, and rapid breathing prepare your body for action.
• Cognitive Reactions: Heightened awareness, racing thoughts, and potential for decision paralysis or clarity.
• Emotional and Psychological Impact: Mixed emotions of excitement and fear, internal dialogues, and the pressure to act immediately.

We’ll learn more about how your brain and body react to fear and how you can harness this knowledge to conquer your fears and take decisive actions toward your goals.
