Episode NotesNo Fear Friday #12 – Permission to FeelThis week, I wanted to get away from the pandemic and all its consequences. Frankly, I’m tired of the fear, uncertainty, and doubt it causes. Between FatMan Chronicles and The No Fear Project, I hear from many people and that has only accelerated during the quarantine period. I’ve found a common theme in these talks that I want to share today.Most people reach out to me about their health/weight loss journeys or some fear they are working on. Both are deeply personal subjects. Often, they are either thanking the podcasts for helping them in some way or looking for an ear. Regardless of the motivation, there is a common theme most of the time – they are looking for permission to feel.Consider this episode blanket permission to FEEL.As always… The way forward is together. The time to conquer is now.This episode is dedicated to John Harris’ mom who recently passed away.

Episode NotesNo Fear Friday #7 – Pandemic FearWe are in the midst of a pandemic with the coronavirus called COVID-19. The reactions online range from disbelief, and even some calling it a hoax, to complete panic. Most of us fall somewhere in between those extremes. One thing is clear, fear is gripping our world. Uncertainty and a lack of information often cause fear. That is a lot of what is happening here.People are worried. People are afraid right now. An ear and a kind word will go much further than trying to explain something that, frankly, most of us know little about. I don’t know how we stop a virus. I do know that we have the ability, right here and right now, to help ease the fears of our family, friends, and neighbors.Be safe and be kind.As always, remember… The way forward is together.

Episode NotesNo Fear Friday #5 – Weight, Health & FearThere will be full episodes on this subject down the road, but I wanted to talk a little about it now. On the FatMan Chronicles podcast, my wife, Gretchen, and I tackle the subjects of weight loss and health.For many years, I believed that weight directly equated to health. My fear was that if I didn’t find a way to lose weight, I would be unhealthy.That fear held me back from doing things to live an active and healthy lifestyle. If I was fat, what was the use? My bloodwork and overall health would be terrible anyway, so why try?But we are all individuals, or as I like to say, n=1. What is the ideal weight anyway?I can only speak for myself in terms of the fears around weight. I cover these personal fears and try to get to a place where we work together to conquer them As always, remember… The way forward is together.
