We’ve all heard the story of Icarus: a warning against flying too close to the sun. But what if we’ve misunderstood the tale all along?
In this episode of Without Fear: Life, Death, and Everything In Between, Alexis Hughes reclaims the myth of Icarus as a celebration of risk, ambition, and defiant joy. This isn’t about reckless failure - it’s about living fully, even if it means falling.
Join Alexis as she explores how we’re conditioned to aim for “just enough,” to stay safe and small, and to fear our own greatness. Through myth, personal reflection, and bold life coaching insights, we’ll ask the question: What if the fall was worth it?
This is a call to fly higher, to want more, and to let go of the shame around ambition.
Because maybe the most fearless thing we can do… is laugh on the way down.
