Stepping into something new can feel exciting and terrifying at the same time – especially when you can’t see every step ahead.

In this episode, we dive into overcoming fear of the unknown: that mix of anxiety, control, self-doubt and “what if it all goes wrong?” that can keep you stuck exactly where you are.

We explore:
• How fear of the unknown shows up in everyday life (and quietly runs the show)
• “False Evidence Appearing Real” – why so much of our fear is a story, not the truth
• Shifting from worst-case to best-case thinking and feeling
• Trusting yourself to handle what comes, even when you do not have all the answers
• Remembering times you did not let fear win – and bringing that version of you into the present

If you are standing on the edge of a big change, or feel like you keep talking yourself out of the life you actually want, this conversation will support you to take aligned steps forward with more courage and self-trust.
