Fear gets a bad reputation. But fear is not the problem.

In this episode, we talk about what fear actually is, why it shows up so strongly, and how it often confuses discomfort with real danger. When something feels uncertain, your brain fills in the gaps with worst-case stories. That can make fear feel urgent, convincing, and hard to ignore.

You will learn how to slow fear down enough to understand what it is trying to protect, how to check it for truth, and how to decide your next step without letting fear run the whole show.

This episode is for anyone who feels stuck, overthinks their choices, or wants to move forward but keeps second-guessing themselves.
