Podcasts about Facing Fear

In this raw and honest episode of The Maria Fontana Show, I'm going deep into what it really takes to navigate change—the messy, soul-level kind. The world is shifting. Business is shifting. You're shifting.And if you've been feeling like what used to work just doesn't fit anymore—you're not broken. You're evolving.But let's be real:Change is uncomfortable.It brings fear, resistance, and doubt.And yet—it's exactly where your power lives. This episode is an invitation to pause, reconnect with your inner truth, and start trusting yourself more than anyone else's opinion, blueprint, or noise.Because clarity doesn't come from overthinking—it comes from getting still and choosing what's aligned for you. If you're standing at a crossroads in life or business and asking, “What now?”—this one's for you.

Facing Fear: What's Holding You Back from Healing and Connection? Episode Summary: In this episode of The Human Intimacy Podcast, Dr. Kevin Skinner and MaryAnn discuss a powerful and universal emotion—fear—and how it shapes our decisions, relationships, and personal growth. From the fear of being seen, rejected, or betrayed, to the fear of facing consequences or being alone, fear often acts as both a protector and a prison. Dr. Skinner opens with a personal story from his teenage years rogueing potatoes—a vivid metaphor for rooting out danger before it spreads. Together, he and MaryAnn explore how fear manifests physiologically through the autonomic nervous system, how it can become embedded through trauma or cultural messaging, and how it often drives behavior unconsciously. The episode dives into: How fear shows up in relationships after betrayal Why deception, gaslighting, and shame are often rooted in fear How childhood and intergenerational fear shape our worldview The difference between healthy fear and chronic fear The importance of boundaries as a path to safety and freedom A practical process for confronting fear: Find it, Face it, Flip it The value of fear as a gift that invites curiosity and awareness Listeners are encouraged to reflect on their own fears, identify where they might be living in survival mode, and consider what conversations or choices fear might be preventing them from having. Resources Mentioned: Polyvagal Theory – Dr. Stephen Porges: Understanding how the autonomic nervous system influences our sense of safety and connection. Internal Family Systems (IFS) – Dr. Richard Schwartz: Fear as a protector part within us that seeks to avoid pain or danger. Emotionally Focused Therapy (EFT) – Dr. Sue Johnson: How anxiety and fear impact attachment bonds and communication.

In this powerful episode, Jaime Luce unpacks the spiritual truths behind Gideon's unlikely rise from self-doubt to divine deliverance.

Life after Revision Surgery for an Amputee     I must have been crazy, right? To CHOOSE to revise my amputation! To go from being uber active to starting over?!?! Golfing on Kauai   Having fun catching waves   At the beginning of this interview process, to be eligible for the AMI procedure, I was very interested in the idea of being a part of something so "cutting edge" (pun intended) and chose to continue through the several interview steps to see if I was even eligible. When it came down to having to go out to Boston for a face to face interview I knew that it was getting very real and that the decision to have it done was going to be all mine. That's when I started to second guess myself and the reason why I would want to go through that again. Decisions need to be made, but with a good, clear reason and with no doubts. I couldn't do something like that again, and have my family be put out because of it... and what if? What if I was as good as I could get? What if I feel more phantom pains? What if, this time I get an infection and start down a harder road than ever before? I will tell you that I never put those questions in my head or spoke of them before the surgery, but the reality is, those are the concerns that hide in the dark, when you are anxious, vulnerable, weak. These are the doubts that create fear, and then stop us from charging forward and achieving greatness. Needless to say, my CT scan showed something that had to be dealt with that had nothing to do with the AMI and everything to do with the pains I had been dealing with for 6 years! THAT was what made my decision one I was at peace with. Now here I am 3 weeks post-op. Starting PT the day after surgery and having those flooding pains upon walking   My biggest support and the guy who has always had my back!

When faced with the devastating news of his wife's cancer diagnosis, Tony Stewart's world imploded. "It was just sort of mind-blowing, earth-shaking, the end of life as we had known it together," he shares with raw honesty. That fateful phone call launched Tony and his wife Lynn into a five-year journey that would transform their understanding of love, fear, and what it means to truly live.The memoir's beautiful title "Carrying the Tiger" emerged from a friend's Tai Chi practice—the ritual of symbolically lifting your fear (the tiger) and placing it on a distant hilltop where it seems less threatening. This powerful metaphor became their touchstone as they navigated the complex medical landscape while simultaneously trying to appreciate each precious moment they still had together.What makes Tony's story exceptional isn't just his vulnerability in sharing the medical odyssey, but his willingness to discuss the uncomfortable truths of caregiving. He candidly reveals moments of breakdown when exhaustion overwhelmed him, the complicated feelings that arose during Lynn's decline, and the guilt he experienced when finding new love shortly after her death. "I had thoughts that made me ashamed," he admits, normalizing the complex emotional landscape that caregivers often navigate silently.Perhaps most remarkable is Tony's discovery that even in profound grief, joy remains possible. The hospice period, which lasted just two weeks, became paradoxically "the two most beautiful weeks" of his life—filled with deep connection, meaningful conversations about mortality, and the privilege of caring for someone he deeply loved. This counterintuitive finding—that beauty can coexist with heartbreak—offers hope to anyone facing loss.Now studying to become a certified grief educator, Tony emphasizes the deeply personal nature of grieving: "Everyone grieves in their own way, at their own time and speed." His journey from devastated spouse to someone who can embrace new love while still honoring Lynn's memory demonstrates that moving forward isn't abandoning the past but carrying it with you as you create a new future.Listen now to be inspired by this transformative story of resilience, love that transcends death, and the possibility of finding joy even in life's darkest moments. Then explore Tony's book "Carrying the Tiger: Living with Cancer, Dying with Grace, Finding Joy While Grieving," available wherever books are sold.Become a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/bereaved-but-still-me--2108929/support.

My guest for this episode is Hannah Betts, Hollywood Stuntwoman, Professional Skydiver and more. If you watched the Superbowl this year, you saw Hannah land in a cruise ship swimming pool after jumping out of a helicopter. She shares some of the behind-the-scenes magic from that commercial, as well as some of the scarier stunts she's done for other shows and movies. She's had a number of scary things happen in her career – and the way she embraces things not going right is inspiring.  In our conversation, we deeply explored the topic of fear from angles rarely talked about. Hannah has been to the other side of fear, and she's bringing back the wisdom she's earned to help the rest of us in our own journeys see fear as a companion, not an enemy. Here's what Hannah has to say about herself: Hannah Betts has worn many bold titles—Outdoor Adventure Sports Instructor, Police Officer, Professional Skydiver, and now, Hollywood Stuntwoman. Beyond the risk and achievement lies a deeper journey—one of confronting fear and vulnerability head-on, rising above comparison, and letting go of the expectations to live a 'conventional life'. Despite what it may look like from the outside, fear walks with her every day. She just doesn't let it lead. Hannah's mission is to empower others to do the same - to lean into fear rather than run from it. Through the power of her story, she helps others break free from what holds them back, unfreeze the parts of life that feel out of reach, and boldly step into their unique potential.

In this powerful episode, we sit down with Daryl Babineau: a real estate investor, single father, and LimitlessYou client who went from chasing external success to discovering internal peace. Like many high-performing men, Daryl looked like he had it all together—but inside, he was wrestling with self-doubt, overthinking, and a deep desire for more meaningful relationships and a life he could feel in. Together, we explore how shifting your mindset isn't about thinking positively—it's about uncovering what's been running the show all along. If you've ever felt trapped by your own success, overwhelmed by pressure, or unsure how to slow down without losing momentum—this episode is for you. ✍️ WORKBOOK MOMENTS: Use these to reflect, journal, or start a deeper conversation—with yourself or someone you love: What fear have you been avoiding that might actually be the path to your freedom? Where in your life are you showing up for others but not yourself? What does “success” mean to you—and is that definition still serving you? When did you last feel emotionally safe enough to be vulnerable? What belief about yourself or your worth might be keeping you stuck?

In this episode, I'm opening up about something we all wrestle with—fear. I dive into the story of Gideon and how much his journey reminds me of my own. From hiding in the winepress to stepping out in faith, Gideon's transformation shows us what's possible when we say yes to God, even when we feel unqualified. I'll also share some personal moments—like how I started this very podcast—despite feeling completely unequipped. God doesn't wait for us to feel ready. He calls us, clothes us with His Spirit, and asks for our obedience. That's where the real transformation begins. In This Episode, I Talk About: What Gideon's story teaches us about fear, faith, and obedienceWhy God often calls us while we're still feeling unqualifiedHow fear disguises itself in ways we may not recognizeMy personal testimony of stepping out to start this podcastThe power of being clothed in the Spirit and walking in God's authorityHow to shift your perspective from circumstance to spiritual truth Where to dive in: (0:00:09) - Facing Fear (0:07:58) - Finding Hope in the Midst (0:23:36) - Discovering Strength in Times of Fear (0:33:23) - Embracing God's Authority and Power (0:49:20) - Clothed in God's Spirit and Power Key Scriptures: Judges 6Zechariah 4:6Romans 10:17Luke 24:49 About your host: Jaime Luce' testimony has daunting personal mountains and treacherous financial valleys.

Raphi Fulcher's Musical Journey and Life as a Black Orthodox Jew   In this episode, Raphi Fulcher, also known as Hebrew, discusses his unique background and perspectives. Growing up as the youngest of six children to parents who converted to Judaism in the 1960s, Raphi shares his experiences moving across different states and eventually studying in Israel. Currently a project manager in digital marketing, Raphi is also a passionate musician. He talks about his musical influences, family background in music, and the transformative experience of performing live. Raphi sheds light on the challenges of dating within the Orthodox Jewish community as a Black man and the importance of finding a partner who understands and is prepared for those challenges. He also discusses the significance of Torah values and the importance of addressing 'otherness' in the Jewish community. Additionally, Raphi shares insights into his music career, Jewish music festivals, and his aspirations to create music that heals and educates.   00:00 Introduction and Background 00:36 Religious and Professional Journey 03:05 Musical Beginnings 04:20 First Performance and Health Struggles 07:24 Stage Name and Identity 09:00 Growing Up Orthodox 20:46 Dating Challenges 29:14 Navigating Relationships and Conversion 30:44 Qualities I'm Looking for in a Partner 32:24 Challenges in Finding the Right Match 35:10 The Birth of a Jewish Music Festival 37:14 Balancing Tradition and Modernity in Music 43:21 The Deeper Meaning of Cain and Hevel 48:45 Practical Advice for Facing Fear 51:39 Sharing My Music and Inspirations   https://www.hebromusic.com https://www.instagram.com/hebromusic/ https://www.youtube.com/@Hebromusic   www.JewishCoffeeHouse.com franciskakay@gmail.com   About Raphi: Raphi Fulcher is a man on a mission, a soldier, or a “soulja,” if you will, in the army of Hashem. So intent is he on spreading his message of acceptance and brotherhood through rap and hip hop music, that he performs under the name Hebro, a Fulcher-ism that declares his intent to use his artistic abilities to better the world as he serves in the ranks of God's military. The youngest of six children born to African-American parents who converted to Judaism 43 years ago under the guidance of Rabbi J.J. Hecht, the then-assistant to the Lubavitcher Rebbe, Fulcher hails from a family of gifted vocalists. The singer, songwriter, rapper and producer lived in Crown Heights until he was four and spent his formative years in North Carolina, St. Louis and Israel. It was during his time as a student at Queens College that Fulcher, whose full name is Raphael Ohr Chayim, discovered his gift for singing publicly. “I was on the board at Chabad of Queens College and we staged musical events. I found that I had a deep passion for live performance,” Fulcher told The Jewish Link. After spending a Lag B'omer at the Chevra Ahavas Yisroel synagogue, Fulcher found himself falling in love with Crown Heights and he spent the next five years there, enjoying the unique warmth of the community and honing his musical voice. Deeply enamored with rap, hip hop, reggae and R&B music, Fulcher decided that the time had come to bring those genres to Jewish audiences, albeit with all new lyrics. “Just the music and the rhythm are very powerful and could resonate with a lot of people if we had positive, uplifting content,” said Fulcher, who previously performed under the name Hebro. “I kept imagining how powerful it would be if I added a real element that would allow listeners to vibe out to the rhythm, with lyrics that have meaning and purpose. I don't think you can deny that it is Jewish music.” Having stretched his musical wings on stage with Matisyahu, Nissim Black, Moshav Band, Lipa Schmeltzer, Zusha and others, Fulcher decided three years ago that it was time to share his God given gifts with the world in a debut EP titled Genesis. “It is an album that is inspired by Tehillim, by King David's work,” said Fulcher. “When I imagine David Hamelech performing during his life, I imagine that his music had rhythm and spirit and with all due respect, I don't think it sounded like the typical 'Jewish' music we hear today in the orthodox world” Genesis, featuring seven original compositions, will be released on March 17th, Rosh Chodesh Nissan. Fulcher is looking forward to sharing his music at a release party taking place at The Loft and Rooftop at 83 Essex Street on Manhattan's Lower East Side of Manhattan which will also feature up and coming talents Izzy Gilden, DJ Kamilly, Simple Man and others. His soon to be released Souljass music video, featuring one of the tracks on the EP, tells the story of Cain and Hevel, which Fulcher sees as the start of baseless hatred in the world. “I want to shed light on being fearful of what we don't control or understand,” said Fulcher. “There is a message there in Cain's conversation with Hashem, when he says he doesn't know where his brother is. If we focused on the other person, if we were conscious of one another, and were tolerant of each other, we would be able to bring about the ultimate redemption.” Still, Fulcher, a resident of the Wesley Hills section of Monsey, is subtle with his messaging. “I consider myself a chasid of the Lubavitcher Rebbe and his teachings and his mission,” said Fulcher. “That is what I wanted to do with this album of songs about redemption and while I may not mention that concept by name, it is there in broader terms and in a way that will allow more people to enjoy the music.” With an edgy style that is simultaneously youthful and appealing, Fulcher is a crossover artist who can appeal to the masses, but also has his priorities straight. Passionate about his music, he is even more dedicated to his religious observance. As someone with close ties to Chabad, Fulcher feels strongly about his own obligation to improve the lives of others. “My ultimate mission with my music is to do my part to bring redemption,” explained Fulcher. “I consider this to be my shlichut and I believe each of us has to bring the world to a higher state of perfection by doing chesed, by reaching out and not just harboring light, but shining light out onto the world.” Having been the only African-American student in the yeshivos he attended since first grade wasn't always easy, admitted Fulcher, but it was an experience that prepared him for his future. “It was challenging for myself and for my peers,” said Fulcher. “It was a reality that none of them had ever dealt with before and it was new for them. Still, growing up as an African-American Jew in a white Orthodox Jewish world gave me the experience to understand the potential of breaking down the barriers of fear and difference while creating an opportunity for growth. B'nei Yisrael come in all shapes and colors and sizes and the sooner we can all handle that the sooner we will all be b'simcha.”

In this powerful and honest episode, Doug is joined by eight returning guests—men who've previously appeared on the podcast—to explore a topic we all face: fear. Each man shares personal stories of moments when fear showed up in their lives and how they found the strength to move through it. The group dives into a wide range of fears, including: Fear of abandonment Fear of drowning Fear of failure Fear of public shaming And perhaps the most haunting fear of all: reaching old age and saying, “If Only I had tried…”  The conversation goes beyond storytelling, offering insights into how choosing to respond, rather than react, to unexpected challenges can significantly reduce fear. It's a reminder that self-awareness and conscious choice often make the difference between being paralysed by fear or growing through it. This episode is both grounding and inspiring—a must-listen for any man ready to face his fears and reclaim his power. info@dougbeitz.com dougbeitz.com facebook.com/dougbeitz instagram.com/dougbeitz https://neurovizr.com buymeacoffee.com/dougbeitz

Sometimes the thing we long for most is the very thing we fear. Love. Freedom. Joy. These are powerful forces that ask us to stay open, even after we've been hurt. And yet, when we've experienced loss, especially deep soul loss, it can feel impossible to let the light in again. But healing begins when we choose to open, even just a little. Roni is here with us today. She's grieving the loss of her beloved horse, Yo-Yo, and questioning whether she can ever open her heart again to another. What surfaces in this conversation touches on vulnerability, self-trust, and her incredible connection to animals, especially horses. We explore how her past relationships, early wounds, and moments of rejection have shaped her sense of worthiness, and how fear has been quietly riding in the front seat of her life, steering her away from joy. In this episode, we offer Roni a gentle yet powerful invitation: to renegotiate her relationship with fear, to begin practicing animal communication, and to let her heart call in what it truly desires. If you've ever found yourself stuck between grief and longing, or wondered whether it's safe to open your heart again, I hope this reading reminds you that courage doesn't mean the fear disappears; it means you choose to keep going anyway.

This was not always a conscious endeavor for me, yet she pulled at my heart and led me on adventures far and wide and wild. She has taught me to live by spirals and wheels and cycles. To live each day as a ritual, knowing that I am the source of my life. Everything comes FROM me and that my obstacles are actually the path to living an even greater and wilder existence. She has shown me that true LEADERS rally for and with life, not against it.

Love to hear from you; “Send us a Text Message”The human heart has an extraordinary capacity for resilience. Even in our current era—where young men grow up bombarded by toxic influences that rob their innocence and shatter their moral imagination—something remarkable is happening. They're awakening to the sacred.Mike Pacer, president of Five Stones and author of "Prayers for Catholic Men," joins Jack to explore how prayer is transforming young men's lives against all cultural odds. Pacer shares his own journey of faith—leaving behind a successful career as a trial attorney when God simply said "leave"—and how surrendering to divine guidance led him to a more authentic life.The conversation centers around three foundational spiritual practices for men: beginning each day on your knees in surrender to God, viewing temptation as an invitation to prayer rather than a cause for shame, and committing to love the next person you encounter. These simple yet powerful habits create a framework for spiritual growth amid today's distractions.Purchase "Prayers" For Catholic Men by Mike Pacer Contact Jack: info@jp2renew.orgJacks Blog on Substack: https://johnpauliirenewal.substack.com/If you're interested in being a sponsor of the Become Who You Are Podcast, please email us at Info@JP2Renew.orgSupport the show, Sign up for our Newsletter: https://jp2renew.org/Support the show
