Ep. 21: Living Without Fear. I'm Not Afraid to Dream Again - Part 1
What if the one thing holding you back from true love, from success, from the simple joy of being silly, isn't a real monster but a ghost from your past?
Fear can be a powerful, paralyzing force, one that I've known intimately since I was just a little girl. It can dictate our choices, keep us in a constant state of fight-or-flight, and stop us from living the life we truly desire. In this episode, let's come together to gently pull back the curtain on this "Boogie Man Syndrome," to understand why it has such a grip on us, and to discover how facing our fears—even the fear of fear itself—can unlock a world filled with more smiles, richer connections, and the freedom to finally dream again.
Join me as we explore this deeply human emotion and try a simple 15-second action that might just take its power away for good.
