The Michelle Chalfant Show — Life from the Adult Chair

213: Walking Through Fear with Michelle Poler


Listen Later

With everything going on the world the last few months, fear has been on all of our minds recently. Though this fear is very real, it’s also related to events happening outside of ourselves...events we can’t fully control.

But we also all have deeper emotional fears that aren’t related to what is going on in the world and are more constant: fear of vulnerability, fear of rejection, fear of being trapped, etc. They come from inside us, and they hold us back from living the life we really want to live.

What if you could train yourself to face your fears and become more than you ever thought possible in life? 

Today’s guest, Michelle Poler, asked herself that same question and embarked on a life-changing experiment where she faced a new fear every day for 100 days. Her project went viral, and she now travels the world speaking and writing about how to walk through fear and tap into your fullest potential. 

In this episode, she shares her incredible journey, what she learned through her experiment and her tips for overcoming fear in everyday life.

 

Listen to discover:

  • Why our fears limit us and keep us from becoming who we’re meant to be
  • How to practice courage and build confidence
  • How to face the unknown and embrace change
  • Reframing failure and choosing to see opportunity instead
  • Finding the best, even in the worst-case scenario

 

When we feel fear in our bodies, most of us take that as a sign to stop what we’re doing or run in the other direction. But when we push through that fear, we discover a world of potential, dreams and opportunities. 

Michelle’s story and perspective on life is SO inspiring, and I know you will walk away from this episode with fresh energy to say “no” to fear and “yes” to life!

 

“When you radically accept what’s happening, you open new doors.” - Michelle Poler

“Don’t ask yourself, ‘What’s the worst thing that could happen?’ Ask yourself ‘What’s the best thing that could happen?’” - Michelle Poler

“The real enemy of success is not failure; it’s comfort.” - Michelle Poler
