Fear isn't a stop sign. It's a doorway and everything you want is waiting on the other side.

In this episode of How Good It Can Get, host Andrea Rice breaks down what fear really is, why it fuels anxiety, and how it keeps the body stuck in survival mode.

You'll learn how the amygdala, cortisol, and the fight-or-flight response hijack clarity and decision-making, why anxiety is fear projected into the future, and why fear is the lowest vibration, contracting creativity, intuition, peace, and joy.

Andrea also shares a powerful personal reflection on how fear overtook her nervous system during a major life transition and how moving through fear allowed her to create a life filled with calm, happiness, clarity, and purpose.
