Episode Synopsis

Big goals are exciting—but let’s be real, they’re also terrifying. Fear is a natural part of the process, but it doesn’t have to hold you back. In this episode, I dive into the messy, uncomfortable, and totally normal fear that shows up when we dream big—and share the tools you need to navigate it.

You’ll learn:
• Why fear is not the problem—it’s the thoughts behind it.
• How to find balanced evidence to support your dreams, not just your doubts.
• A simple mindset shift to reframe fear and keep moving forward.
• Why taking fear to its “final conclusion” can disarm it completely.

I also share my personal experience preparing for the Himalayan Extreme Triathlon—my biggest, scariest goal yet—and how I’m using these tools to tackle the fear that comes with it.

If you’ve ever questioned whether you’re “ready” for a big dream or felt stuck in self-doubt, this episode is for you.
