In this episode, author Kate Swoboda discusses her history when dealing with fear. As an entrepreneur and life coach, Swoboda encourages us to take control of our fears and release them from our lives in a healthy way. She breaks down fear-based habits and allows us to recognize which behaviors are beneficial and which will end up harming us in the long-run. She explains that although we can never be truly fearless, we are able to take control of our lives and fear less overall.

In this episode we will discuss:

• Upholding our self-image and letting go of fears
• Understanding past choices and how they relate to the present
• Realizing our life is not always as fulfilling as society says it should be
• Spinning within self-help hamster wheel
• Placating vs. facing our fears
• Beginning new careers as an entrepreneur
• Fear based behaviors/patterns and habit-formation
• Habitually dealing with the components of fear
• Accessing the body and noticing how fear manifests within ourselves
• Releasing the emotions that fear creates
• Listening to ourselves and healthily processing our fears
• Learning how to decide which thoughts helpful to our psyche
• Accepting that fear is not necessarily good or bad, it’s a wound
• Failure can be used as a tool to progress
• Fear thriving in isolation
• People-pleasing, pessimism, perfection and self-sabotage
• Creating healthy interdependence with friends and our community

Quotes:

 “Fear-based behaviors are actually brain-based habits. We habitually respond to fear that we feel in these fear-based pattern ways that are in part governed by the brain, to the point where it becomes our identity.”

“There are different component parts of fear... one part is how you habitually dealt with fear or not liking the situation you’re in in the past. Have I been avoiding, pleasing or attacking the fear?” 

“You are never going to be fearless, but you can fear less.”
