Working 63-hour weeks with no AC in my car, behind on bills, applying for IT jobs I'm not sure I'm qualified for, and terrified every podcast episode isn't good enough. That's where I've been the last two weeks—and that's what this episode is really about.This isn't a theoretical discussion about fear. It's me working through financial anxiety, self-doubt, and the paralysis that comes when you're drowning but still have to show up every day. I share the spiritual practices that actually help me face my demons instead of running from them: gratitude in impossible circumstances, grounding in the present moment when your mind is screaming about the future, and learning to trust when you have zero idea how things will work out.We explore fear as "contraction around imagined loss," why facing your demons wakes you up instead of destroying you, and how to take faithful swings without being attached to outcomes. Featuring wisdom from C.S. Lewis's Screwtape Letters, the Bhagavad Gita, Thich Nhat Hanh on befriending your inner Mara, Thomas Merton's prayer of unknowing, and Psalm 23.If you're stuck in financial pressure, job hunting anxiety, imposter syndrome, or just feeling like you're failing at everything—this one's for you.Want to share a thought?Support the show🔗 All links: https://linktr.ee/standingnowhere🎧 Listen on your favorite app💬 Join our community on Discord📩 Email: [email protected](Tap “Support the show” above to become a Patron — thank you!)
