Episode Synopsis

Is fear really something you should be fearing, or...?
We dive into the psychology of this primal emotion. Fear protects us from danger, it alerts us when something isn't right and needs to be avoided – whether physically or psychologically – but it also prevents us from growth.
Growth is danger – it is the unknown, unexplored, while our brain likes the opposite: the familiar and the comfortable.
I share insights and perspectives gathered over the years in befriending and getting to know my fear. This is an invitation to look at this emotion with a little more lightness, as a helpful ally, instead of an enemy.
/First time we delve into this "big" topic - a gentle touch. Fear features a lot in our constitution as human beings, so be sure we'll be exploring it further./
