On the morning of my wedding, I got the call—she had cold feet. But instead of panicking, I showed up with something stronger than persuasion: a vision. In this episode, I share the story of how casting a vivid, hope-filled vision saved my wedding day—and why the real secret to overcoming fear isn't willpower, it's storytelling. Whether you're facing a big leap in life, love, or leadership, you'll learn why telling yourself the right story is what gives you the courage to jump.

When Fear Shows Up, Will You Tell Yourself a Better Story? - Ep 54

**What if success isn't just about doing more with your life — but about feeling more alive?**

Welcome to *The Vaughn Kohler Podcast* — where driven, soulful achievers stop settling for "good enough" and start building the life they were truly made for.

I'm Vaughn Kohler — a husband, dad, and proud Kansan from a humble college town — and I work with overachievers and entrepreneurs who *look like they've got it all together* but quietly hunger for something deeper. Oddly enough, a lot of them are women in the medical and aesthetic space. All of them want to lead lives of purpose, peace, and real impact — without losing who they are in the process.

This show is where we cast a bigger, better vision for your future — one that honors your deepest desires without betraying your soul. Together, we confront the hidden fears that keep you playing small, and we break free of the old scripts that say gratitude means you can't want more.

Through real-world storytelling, timeless wisdom, and principles drawn from Scripture and performance psychology, I challenge you to stop letting fear write your story — and start living a life that feels fiercely, fully alive.

If you're ready to live with more clarity, courage, and meaning — you're exactly where you need to be.

I'm Vaughn Kohler: coach, author, speaker, and "a man who asks questions to help you come alive." Book a conversation with me at [vaughnkohler.com](http://vaughnkohler.com) or connect with me on Instagram [@vaughnkohler](https://instagram.com/vaughnkohler).
