Monthly Topic: FEAR Oh, boy. Stacey grabbed the tissues in advance of today’s podcast episode. Perhaps you can relate with the girls’ true greatest fear? Together, they discuss the close relationship of fear in love. Can they even be separated? Or do we have to step through fear to gain access to the deepest love? Stacey cries, Jackie soothes, and perhaps everyone connects.

Monthly Topic: FEAR. Jackie and Stacey begin this episode asking if being in fear is the same thing as feeling fear. Further, If fear is just an emotion, a feeling, then it holds no value - it just is. We can use all feelings as tools to inform our current situations and to inform our future choices. Stacey thinks that would be very mature. #goals 😉 Eventually the girls tie it all in to discuss how fear interacts with faith - which by definition is kinda the opposite. Join us!

Monthly Topic: FEAR. New month, New topic! Here we go, facing our FEARS head on. What is FEAR? Is it the same as anxiety? How is it different from phobia? Jackie and Stacey discuss their deepest personal fears, some of the top 10 fears, and some ways to celebrate and appreciate the natural response that is FEAR. There are always two sides to a coin, and two ways (or a million) to look at each of our monthly topics! We would love to hear what you think!
