"I bitched out!"

I could hear the disappointment in my 20 y.o. son's voice as he shared with me how he dealt with an aggressive stranger confronting him at the local gas station.

Although it's not the best terminology for submitting to the fear of being beat up and "standing down" - it's also not an uncommon feeling for those who have been face-to-face with someone who got the best of them.

And trust me... I know it from personal experience!

I'll share his story... as well as my 3- part advice for how to control fear in any situation - and come out the other side with your pride (and your life!) intact.
