Today, we turn to The Round House by Louise Erdrich for wisdom on fear and its fleeting nature. Fear can feel all-consuming in the moment, but it is not a permanent state. As we journey through life, we encounter many fears—some that grip us harder than others. However, this episode reminds us that no matter how powerful fear may seem, its hold will loosen, and it will pass.

We delve into the cyclical nature of emotions, particularly fear, and how acknowledging that emotions, like all things, are temporary can bring a sense of calm during stressful times. The episode touches on the idea that change is the only constant in life. Understanding this impermanence can help us approach fear with a sense of resilience.

Listeners are invited to reflect on the times when fear seemed insurmountable and recognize that they made it through those moments. This reflection can serve as a reminder that even the toughest challenges will eventually pass, giving way to better times. By holding onto this truth, we can move forward with hope and determination.
