Podcasts about letting go of fear

 Fertility Docs Uncensored Today's episode of Fertility Docs Uncensored is hosted by Dr. Carrie Bedient from the Fertility Center of Las Vegas, Dr. Susan Hudson from Texas Fertility Center, and Dr. Abby Eblen from Nashville Fertility Center, welcomes Rosanne Austin, founder of the Fearlessly Fertile Podcast and creator of the Fearlessly Fertile Method. In this episode, Rosanne discusses how stress, fear, shame, perfectionism, and negative self-talk can affect women struggling with infertility. Many of her clients are highly accomplished women with demanding careers who spend so much time caring for others that they forget to care for themselves emotionally. Rosanne explains how infertility can leave women feeling guilty, ashamed, or blindsided by difficulty conceiving later in life. She helps women identify the stories they tell themselves and replace fear-based thinking with self-compassion and confidence. Rosanne also discusses her eight-week online fertility mindset coaching program, in which women meet weekly in a supportive group setting to openly discuss what they truly want for their lives and families. The program teaches communication skills, emotional resilience, practical strategies, and healthier ways to handle mistakes, stress, and uncertainty during infertility treatment. Why do successful women often struggle emotionally with infertility? How can mindset coaching help during IVF and fertility treatment? What role do fear, anxiety, guilt, and shame play in infertility? How can women learn to prioritize themselves while pursuing both career success and motherhood? Rosanne shares how women can begin saying “yes, I can” while honoring their desire to build a family. Learn more through the Fearlessly Fertile podcast, website, and YouTube channel.

Hey guys, welcome back to another episode of The Anchored by the Sword Podcast. I am so excited about today's conversation—because this one truly felt like a God-ordained connection.Today, I'm sitting down with Kim Oswalt, and you guys… her story is such a beautiful reminder that when God calls you into something, He doesn't leave you to figure it out alone.We talk about what it looks like to:Say “yes” to God—even when you feel unqualifiedWalk through fear (especially the fear of failure)Step into obedience before you feel readyAnd discover that you were actually made for more all alongKim shares her journey of coming to faith as a teenager, walking through years of growth, and then—years later—feeling God nudge her to write a book… even though she had never written anything before.And I love this part—because I know so many of us can relate:

In this episode, I talk about breathing strategies you can do to get tension and fear out of your body.

Scissors.Such a simple tool… until it's not.In this episode, we're digging into the hesitation so many educators feel when it comes to offering scissors during free play. Is it about safety? Trust? Or something deeper?Because when scissors aren't part of the environment, we might be holding children back in ways we don't always see - from fine motor development to creativity and confidence.This episode isn't about forcing one way of doing things. It's about asking better questions, shifting our language, and rethinking how we support children in building real skills.If you've ever said “be careful” (we all have), this one's for you.SUBSCRIBE & REVIEWIf you loved this episode, please take a moment to subscribe and leave a review.

In this Lenten message, Pastor Jen explores how fear—whether rational or irrational—can become a spiritual barrier that hinders our relationship with God. Using the story of Martha, Mary, and the resurrection of Lazarus (John 11:17-27), she identifies fear as an attempt to seize control over things that belong to God. To experience true freedom, she […]

In this episode, I'm sharing something deeply personal — my recent move, my allergy journey, and how I'm continuing to lean into the mind-body (TMS) lens when symptoms flare up.If you've ever felt like your symptoms don't fully “make sense” — reacting one day but not the next, feeling worse in a “safe” place than a moldy one — this conversation will resonate.I walk you through how I'm choosing to see my allergies as TMS (mind-body symptoms), what that actually looks like in real time, and how I'm holding the experience lightly instead of reacting with fear.We also dive into coaching around:Feeling stuck in low-carb purgatoryFear around tracking and food controlResistance to getting a ketone monitorDigestive struggles while increasing fatGallbladder support without pushing detox too hardWhy ketosis can feel restrictive — but actually create freedomThe nervous system side of metabolic healingBook a call with me to learn more about the program: https://calendly.com/daniellehamiltonhealth/discoverycall Enroll today! https://dhhealth.showitpreview.com/blood-sugar-mastery STAY IN TOUCH WITH ME:

John invites listeners into a thoughtful and compassionate reflection on Christmas, legalism, and spiritual recovery. He traces how high-control groups distort biblical interpretation, weaponize fear, and turn normal human celebrations into battlegrounds of shame. As John describes his own journey—from cult indoctrination to rediscovering faith—he shows how ancient Jewish and early Christian practices were far more similar to surrounding cultures than many modern legalistic teachings admit. He explores the historical overlap of festivals, solstices, agriculture, and worship, and explains how Paul’s writings in Galatians and Colossians reject judgmentalism and condemn attempts to bind believers to the Mosaic legal code. This segment offers hope for those navigating grief, estrangement, or uncertainty around Christmas. John reminds listeners that celebration is a human universal, not a spiritual trap; that the Bible does not forbid festivals; and that Christian liberty frees believers to celebrate—or not celebrate—without fear, shame, or condemnation. His story offers a gentle invitation to reclaim joy, gratitude, and authentic faith after religious trauma. ______________________Weaponized Religion: From Christian Identity to the NAR:Paperback: https://www.amazon.com/dp/1735160962 Kindle: https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0DCGGZX3K ______________________– Support the channel: https://www.patreon.com/branham – Visit the website: https://william-branham.org

In this episode of Fishing Without Bait, counselor and mindfulness guide Jim Ellermeyer takes listeners on a thoughtful and practical journey into the world of inherent truths—the deep personal values and qualities that define who we really are beneath expectations, judgment, and fear. Jim opens the conversation by reminding us that self-discovery isn't about finding a ready-made identity—it's about creating ourselves with honesty, open-mindedness, and a willingness to try. He introduces the idea that inherent truths are fundamental aspects of identity that aren't shaped by outside forces. These truths include qualities like empathy, honesty, dependability, intelligence, and the capacity to learn and love. Through stories, affirmations, and compassionate guidance, Jim breaks down the barriers that commonly derail personal growth: societal pressure, family expectations, fear of judgment, and the tendency to discount our own worth. He encourages listeners to practice “I am confident…” statements to reinforce these inner truths and reclaim ownership of their choices. Listeners also learn practical tools for maintaining emotional grounding, including a powerful breathing exercise: inhale with the word “Let…” and exhale with “…go.” This simple practice helps calm the nervous system and release self-doubt. Jim adds a gratitude ritual—affirming small wins throughout the day with the phrase, “That's a positive.” As always, the episode emphasizes actionable mindfulness: accepting compliments instead of dismissing them, setting boundaries with clarity, exploring what energizes you, and paying attention to the moments that reveal who you really are. Jim closes the episode with an invitation for listeners to share their own inherent truths and continues the show's mission of offering practical, compassionate tools for living purposefully, mindfully, and without definitive expectations.

You want to trust your teen again when they come back from treatment, but every setback and every little misstep can send your mind spiraling back to worst-case scenarios. Luckily, we're joined again by Colin MacDonald from Not Therapy Coaching to explore what it really looks like to parent your teen after treatment, and how to make sure fear doesn't take over. He shares powerful mindset shifts for parents and offers practical ways to focus on what's actually happening, rather than catastrophizing every challenge.I'm so grateful to pick Colin's brain again on this topic, not only because he's worked with countless struggling teens and their families, but also because he once was a struggling teen himself. Having spent time in both wilderness therapy and therapeutic boarding school, Colin brings rare insight and compassion to this conversation.You'll walk away with a fresh perspective on how to rebuild trust with your teen, hold realistic expectations, and keep the momentum of treatment going once they're home.“Treatment is actually the beginning of the journey” - Colin MacDonaldIn this episode on parenting your teen after treatment, we discuss:How to stop your mind from spiraling when your teen slips up;Why rebuilding trust starts with believing in your child's progress;What to do when your teen's behavior triggers old fears;How to identify the core issue instead of turning it into a crisis;The role mentors and community play in lasting growth;Why “more treatment” isn't always the answer;How parents can stay grounded and take care of themselves, too.More about Colin MacDonaldColin is a "former troubled teen" who spent his last two years of high school in wilderness and therapeutic boarding school. Based on his experience, he co-founded Not Therapy to provide peer-to-peer coaching for teens and young adults who feel like therapy hasn't been the right fit or who are transitioning out of therapeutic programs back into the real world.

In this episode, I'm talking about one of my favorite topics—delegation—and how it connects directly to boundaries. Too often we hold back from delegating because we're afraid someone else will “mess it up” or won't do it the way we would. But here's the truth: by refusing to delegate, weoverload ourselves, limit our growth, and block our team from stepping into their potential.I share insights from a recent presentation I gave at the Louisiana Society of CPAs Women's Conference, along with real examples of how delegation has shaped my own career. You'll hear why fear is the wrong reason not to delegate, how to reframe it as a boundary-setting tool, and why empowering others is key to being a stronger leader.If you've been hesitating to let go of tasks—even the ones you know you shouldn't be doing—this episode will help you flip the script and start small. Because setting boundaries through delegation isn't just about your workload, it's about creating space for everyone to grow.⁠Connect with Melissa on LinkedIn⁠⁠⁠⁠Learn about Melissa's Keynote Presentation

Podcast description: In this episode of The Anxiety Guy Podcast, Dennis explores why healing anxiety often brings up fear, hesitation, and emotional resistance.

Book 34: Bernard A. Harris Jr - Embracing Infinite Possibilities Letting Go of Fear to Find Your Highest Potential by

In today's meditation, we were taken to the River of Life in the ethereal realm. All living souls are in this metaphorical river. When it is time for them to transition, then they simply leave the river and walk up the bank with one of their guides. Today at the River of Life, the archangels were handing out invitations from the Creator. These invitations were an opportunity for folks to choose to end their time in the 3-D realm and transition. This was different from anything we had seen before during our meditations. Divine Mother was there checking off names as people were choosing to remove themselves from the 3-D realm. We do not know if this is symbolic of a mass exodus or an event that might be coming, that would result in a large loss of life. Archangel Michael was clear to remind us that there is no reason to fear death, that when people die they are surrounded with guides and loved ones who have passed on before.What if your guides for the guided meditation had no idea where Spirit was going to be leading them? Join Dr. Ruth Anderson and Teri Angel as they explore a spirit-inspired and spirit-led meditation.

In this episode, I speak from the heart about something we all know too well—fear and insecurity. Whether it's the fear of not being good enough, the fear of failing, or the fear of being seen for who we truly are, these emotions live within many of us. And yet, there is a powerful truth I've come to believe deeply: we have everything we need within us.I share how my own journey shifted over the years—from trying to eliminate fear entirely, to learning how to live with less of it and move forward with more courage and trust. I'll guide you through a simple yet powerful process to begin letting go of one fear that's holding you back.You'll also hear the story of a recent coaching session on the ski slope, and a beautiful moment from Tony Robbins' Leadership Academy that reminded me how much wisdom we already carry inside.This episode is for you if:You feel stuck in fear or self-doubtYou wonder if you're truly capable of helping othersYou want to break free from patterns passed down through generationsYou're ready to trust yourself more and take action even when it feels uncomfortableLet's walk this path together. You are not alone. And I believe in your ability to become more courageous, more grounded, and more you.BOOKS:

Since moving to two shows per week it appears as though we had quite a lot to say in this particular episode of Extreme Health Radio. For those that don’t know, we recently changed our radio show schedule from 4 days per week to just 2. We’re planning on having 1 interview show per week […] The post Releasing The Need To Try So Hard, Drinking Pee, Attachments, Letting Go of Fear, Template Ceremonies, Why Sulfur Is So Healing & Much More! appeared first on Extreme Health Radio.

What You'll Learn in This Episode: 3 Steps to Walking Forward in Faith. ✨ Conversation Moment: Let's talk about making the hard decision, overcoming fear and stepping into faith. Have you ever felt stuck between where you are and where God is calling you?

Fear is a natural feeling, but it doesn't have to control us. Letting go of fear is about making peace with uncertainty. Trust that you have the resilience to handle whatever comes your way. Let fear be the fuel that drives you forward instead of the anchor that holds you back.

In this episode, Lisa Berkovitz (of On God's Payroll) is interviewing me about my most recent decision to burn my entire business to the ground in pursuit of what my soul is really calling me to do. We're talking about breaking free from the fears that are slowing you down and holding you back, tuning into your highest self and following the breadcrumbs of your intuition in pursuit of living a more aligned life. If you're a leader or a visionary here to true change on the planet, this episode will serve you deeply. And if you're someone who simply desires to stop letting fear control your thinking and start opening up to a more authentic you, I believe you will receive a lot from it as well.Follow me on InstagramShop all current programs and offeringsConnect with LisaIf you found this episode helpful, it would mean the world to me if you could take a moment to rate and review this podcast and share it with a friend.

Sound too simple? It is, but that doesn't mean it's easy.

Hey Rebel!  Imagine waking up every day consumed by thoughts of food, haunted by the scale, and trapped in a relentless cycle of restriction followed by loss of control. If this resonates with you, know that you're not alone. This was once my reality, and it was also the reality for today's guest, my past group coaching client, Rachel.  In today's episode, we delve into how Rachel has rebuilt her relationship with food—from a regimen of strict control to embracing body cues with compassion, from emotional eating to savoring meals with genuine pleasure, and becoming a confident intuitive eater. Rachel not only enjoys a wide variety of foods today but also sets an empowering example for her children, raising them now as intuitive eaters!  Fear and insecurity around food has opened up a path to true food freedom for Rachel and her family, and I hope you leave inspired by her transformational story!  ------- Learn more about group coaching here:  https://dietculturerebel.com/group-coaching Connect with Bonnie on Instagram: @diet.culture.rebel

Today host Heather Creekmore delves into the topic of aging and the fear that often accompanies it. She talks about the cultural pressure to stay young, the struggle with body image, and the desire to remain relevant in a society that values youth. Heather shares insights from her new book, "Aging Gratefully," a 30-day devotional for women that covers various aspects of aging, from bodily changes to finding purpose in midlife and beyond. Throughout the discussion, she encourages listeners to consider the biblical perspective on aging and to embrace the reality of getting older with gratitude and trust in God's plan. Heather's discussion spans a range of topics surrounding aging, including the cultural pressures and myths associated with aging, the changing seasons of life, and the fear of becoming irrelevant. She also highlights the biblical perspective on aging, offering a refreshingly positive viewpoint on something our culture points to as negative. One significant topic Heather focused on was the symbolism of graying hair and how it has been distorted by cultural messages. Drawing from Proverbs 16:31, Heather shares how marketers convinced us that gray hair would ruin our lives, but how the Bible tells us that gray hair is a crown of glory, representing wisdom and victory. As we dive into the concept of aging gratefully, Heather challenges us to shift our mindset away from cultural norms and expectations and embrace the unique beauty that comes with every season of life.
