Fear-Less: Braver Than the Fear

I've stood in front of a thousand people on a livestream and thought, what were you thinking, Fi? Sit yourself down. If you've ever felt that same drop in your stomach — before a flight, a hard conversation, a moment in the spotlight — you know exactly the feeling I mean. Your brain convinces you the worst is about to happen, and no amount of logic seems to shut it up. 

This isn't a five-step fix, and I'm not here to hand you a formula — some things are bigger than that. By the end of this episode, I don't think you'll be asking how to get rid of your fear anymore, because honestly, that was never really the point. Stick around for a piece of brain research that surprised even me, and a quote at the end I want you sitting with all week long. Press play, give me twenty minutes, and let's talk about what's actually waiting for you on the other side of your fear.

Quote of the Week

"Courage is not the absence of fear, but rather the judgment that something else is more important than fear." — Ambrose Redmoon
