Episode description
In this solo episode of the podcast I jam on moving through fear. I'm not talking the fear that stops us for doing something life harming, I'm talking the fear that rears its ugly head just as we are about to take a bold step in the direction of our expansion, our becoming. The fear that keeps us from speaking up, speaking out, stepping up, stepping out, becoming our fullest expression and living a heart attuned life (hot tip: that's your purpose!). I'm talking the fear that keeps us hiding, keeps us small, keeps us playing safe. So, if you are are on the journey of your becoming (your highest self) and you hit a sticky point, where all the familiar resisting, distracting or self-sabotaging tendencies come up -- this episode is for you!
HERE'S THE HIGHLIGHT REEL OF WHAT WE TALKED ABOUT:
- I talk about why this fear comes up, where it might have originated in the first place and WHY the path to our becoming will often lead us to the cave we fear the most. But, as the Joseph Campbell quote says: The cave we fear to enter holds the treasure we seek.
- I talk about the misconception that fear has to go away completely for you to take action. We can be fearful AND we can still choose to move forward. Not either or. My invitation to you is that when fear takes over, you see fear for the scared child it is. What would you say to that child.
- I share with you an activity I shared with THE HEART PORTAL members in our session this past weekend about writing your fear a love letter and letting it go.
- I talk about love being the antidote to fear and how to seek love by connecting to the beauty that is in this present moment.
- I also talk about one of the most common questions I see: How to tell the difference between when you are being guided by fear or your intuitive heart, your hearts wisdom.
- I close with some advice on how to move through fear and where to seek community because we don't have to do this thing called life alone and trust me -- you are NOT alone in what you are experiencing.
