This is an Encore of episode 95: The REMIX of EP40 and EP77 serving some encouragement over your fear! Enjoy this mashup and don't forget to check out the original episodes! Fear has a way of increasing doubt in others and unfortunately even in ourselves. Fear can keep you playing small and more concerned about who will judge you instead of who you will justify. You could be the example someone is looking for to justify them going after their dreams, but because you're caught up in what you think other people are thinking of you, you miss opportunities to shine your light. Fear can cause you to minimize yourself. Woo! Let that sink in. Not willing to accept or express your true self for fear of the ramifications of living your truth. In the classic sense of fear, we see it as a barrier, something hindering you from growing, achieving or living in a way that is true for you. Rarely is fear seen as something that is used as a tool to help you and works in your favor. Now more than ever, let's Encourage Over Your Fear!
