Podcasts about living without fear

Three weeks ago, my mother and I hid a pastry in the kitchen and laughed like children as we imagined my father searching for it. It was such a small, lighthearted moment, but it filled me with a joy I hadn't felt with her in a long time.   For many years, my relationship with my mother was challenging. I avoided her, overwhelmed by the pain of seeing her struggle with self-hatred. I didn't know how to help her or how to stop carrying that pain myself.   But something shifted. I started reflecting on our relationship, letting go of old patterns, and approaching her with a new mindset. Now, despite her dementia, I feel a deep sense of peace, love, and gratitude for the time we have together.   In this episode, I share my journey of healing, forgiveness, and finding unconditional love for my mum. If you've ever struggled with a parent or longed to make peace with someone close to you, I hope this story will inspire you to take that first step.   BOOKS:

In a world weighed down by fear and anxiety, wouldn't it be wonderful to live with peace and courage instead? This sermon explores how, through faith, we can shed the burdens of fear, shame, and regret. Drawing from 2 Timothy, we'll reflect on Paul's advice to Timothy about holding onto a spirit of power, love, and self-control. Just as Paul faced hardships, he encouraged his followers to stay resilient and focused on God's purpose. Through vivid stories of faith, including personal testimonies, this message will inspire us to live boldly for Christ, embracing His gift of courage, freedom from shame, and a life without regrets. Join us as we explore what it means to guard the faith and walk confidently, assured of God's guidance every step of the way.

When was the last time you paused to ask yourself: What does money mean to me? Is it a friend, a source of stress, or maybe even a stranger in your life? Imagine, just for today, letting go of your money worries and simply embracing gratitude for every single penny you have. Yes, right now, at this very moment. I've been there too. I used to carry my father's fear about money in my heart—his belief that “it's never enough.” And I've felt my mother's detachment, where money wasn't even on her mind. These energies shaped me, and perhaps you'll find pieces of yourself in this too. But together, we can change that narrative. I invite you to explore this connection, feel gratitude, and tap into those memories of times when you did have enough, when abundance flowed. Let's hold onto that energy, because it's proof of what's possible. The truth is, we all have more resources within us than we realize. And I believe you have exactly what it takes to recreate those moments of abundance. Join me as I guide you through a practice that helped me—one that starts with love and gratitude and builds into belief. Take advantage of my Special Offer for you.   BOOKS:

In this episode, I discuss Meditation 11 from Book 2 of Meditations, where Marcus Aurelius reminds us to live each moment as if death could come at any time, encouraging a focus on living virtuously. Marcus addresses the nature of death and the existence of gods, framing them in a way that reduces fear. He explains that if gods exist, they are just, so there is no need to fear death. If gods do not exist, then life has no divine meaning, and death is a natural peace. Marcus implies that life is purposeful and that the Cosmos supports virtuous living, so we should focus on actions aligned with our goals and moral growth. I explore how this perspective allows Stoics to view life's challenges, including the existence of evil, with less distress. Marcus frames “evil” as ignorance and vice, and by trusting in the rationality of the Cosmos, we believe that every challenge has a virtuous counter. This mindset helps us avoid responding to darkness with darkness. Instead, by seeing every obstacle as an opportunity to act rightly, we resist the urge to adopt negativity in response to life's hardships. This focus on virtuous action enables us to maintain a Stoic purpose, finding strength in aligning our actions with reason and justice. "In the conviction that it is possible you may depart from life at once, act and speak and think in every case accordingly. But to leave the company of men is nothing to fear, if gods exist; for they would not involve you in ill." - Meditations 2.11 -- Go ad-free : https://stoicismpod.com/members Follow the print publication : https://stoicismpod.com/print Take the free course : https://understandingstoicism.com Order my book : https://stoicismpod.com/book Source Text : https://stoicismpod.com/far Learn more about your ad choices.

I have to tell you something that hit me like a lightning bolt during a recent seminar. I was watching two colleagues practice coaching techniques, and I suddenly saw myself in one of them. His name was Benny, and as he opened up about his struggles and doubts, I realized that his inner battle was exactly what I had gone through. Benny wanted to start a men's group—a dream he had held for so long—but self-doubt had stopped him in his tracks. He kept asking, “Who am I to do this? I'm not good enough. There are people way better than me.” Oh, how familiar those words sounded to me!  I saw the Benny in me—the me who, before my first webinar, was riddled with the same doubts. “Who am I to offer this? Who will even listen?” Yet, when I pushed through that fear, stepped out of my comfort zone, and finally hit “Go Live,” guess how I felt? Amazing. So proud. Like I had finally become who I was meant to be. Have you ever felt that way too? You dream of doing something big—something you're meant to do—but those nagging voices of doubt stop you from taking that step forward. It's exhausting, isn't it? Here's what I learned from watching Benny and reflecting on my own journey: we all have the skills and the potential to do what's on our hearts. We just don't always see it in ourselves right away. But sometimes, taking a step back and seeing yourself as an observer can be the key to moving forward. BOOKS:

I was 15 years old, standing in my mother's bedroom when she looked at me from her bed and said she wanted to commit suicide—because of me. That moment stayed with me for years. It became part of the shame I carried, the belief that I was a terrible daughter, a burden to my parents. For so long, I felt responsible for their pain. But here's the truth I've learned: I am worthy. Worthy of love. Worthy of peace. Worthy of freedom. In this episode, I dive deep into that painful chapter of my life and share how those childhood wounds still show up today—triggering me in unexpected ways, like a simple phone call with my 90-year-old father. That discomfort? It opened the door to some serious healing. One of the most transformative tools I used on this journey was AI. Yes, you read that right—ChatGPT. It helped me unravel the trauma and guided me through healing exercises for my inner child. And now, I'm sharing those insights with you. If you've ever felt like you're carrying the weight of your family's pain, or you've been told you're "too much"—this episode is for you. You deserve to know you're not alone, and most importantly, you are worthy. Tune in now, and let's walk this healing journey together. BOOKS:

Last week, I had the incredible opportunity to be part of the crew at Tony Robbins' "Unleash The Power Within" event in Cologne, Germany. Picture this: 13,000 people from all over the world, coming together for four days of life-changing experiences!  You won't believe the energy I felt among the 400 crew members! It was like being part of a big, loving family where everyone truly cares for one another. I've never experienced anything quite like it before!  As someone who speaks German, French, and Italian, I found myself in a unique position to help so many people. It was incredibly rewarding to see the relief on people's faces when they realized they could communicate in their native language.  During the event, I received a beautiful bracelet from one of the trainers. It says "Believe in Yourself" - a powerful reminder that we all need sometimes. Remember, you are enough! You have everything you need within you already.  I can't stress enough how much my life has changed in the past four years, thanks to the tools and techniques I've learned from Tony Robbins and my amazing coach.

Do you ever feel like giving up on your dreams? Like maybe it's just too late, or you're not quite good enough? I've been there, too. But today, I want to share something that I hope will inspire you to keep going, no matter what. In this episode, I dive deep into the power of real-life stories and how they can be a guiding light in our darkest moments. I talk about how one of my biggest inspirations, Nelson Mandela, found hope during his 27 years in prison. He discovered light in the darkness through daily journaling and being grateful for even the smallest things. If he could find strength in such dire circumstances, what's stopping us? And then there's a special story close to my heart: my dear swimming colleague, Melanie. She took on a 5k open water race for the first time this year. At first, she felt she was the slowest, with doubts clouding her mind—much like I did last year. But instead of giving up, she found strength in the story I had shared with her about my own experience. She told herself, “If Esther can do it, I can do it, too.” And guess what? She finished strong, even better than I did! These stories remind us that we all have the strength within to push through, even when things seem impossible. And guess what? It's never too late to pursue your dreams. I published my first children's book at 54 and didn't stop there. I didn't listen to those nagging inner voices saying I wasn't good enough, and neither should you! Listen to my last year's swimming race episode: From Doubt To Win: My Path: https://youtu.be/uk0FENRRiUc BOOKS:

If you're thinking, “What could be so interesting about a tortoise?”—I get it. I used to feel the same way. But this isn't just a story about a tortoise. It's a story about life, love, and what it means to truly be seen. Franklin came into my life unexpectedly, a 50+ year-old tortoise with a history of resilience and strength. At first, I didn't think much of him. Tortoises were my mother's favorite animals, not mine. I've always been a cat person. But as the days turned into weeks and the weeks into months, something changed. I found myself checking on him constantly, making sure he was okay, especially on those hot, sunny days. You see, Franklin had a unique challenge—he couldn't flip himself over if he got turned on his back. And in the heat of the summer sun, this was dangerous. So I made it my mission to protect him, to make sure he was safe. And in doing so, I discovered something profound. Franklin, with his gentle eyes and his determined little walk, taught me the importance of being present. He showed me what it means to feel truly seen, something I didn't even realize I was missing. He'd greet me with his awkward shuffle whenever I was nearby, and in his simple, quiet way, he reminded me of the importance of connection. He made me feel seen. And I realize now how rare and precious that feeling is. We all want to be seen, don't we? To feel recognized and loved for who we are, flaws and all. Franklin taught me that before I can truly see others, I need to see myself. And that means loving myself, even when I mess up, even when I feel like I'm not enough. It's a lesson I'm still learning, and one I want to share with you. Franklin may no longer be with us, but his lessons live on. BOOKS:

You know those moments when life feels like an endless loop of stress, with one thing after another demanding your attention? I've been there. And I'm here to tell you, there's a way out. I've spent years chasing solutions in the outer world—fixing relationships, finding the “perfect” job, trying to make everyone around me happy. But no matter how much I worked on those things, something was always off, like a puzzle missing a piece.  Here's the game-changer: The biggest transformation in my life happened when I stopped looking outside for solutions and started looking inward. It's not about finding the perfect job or fixing every relationship—it's about connecting with your true self. In my latest podcast episode, I'm sharing the ONE thing that brought me peace and clarity after years of searching. If you're tired of the uphill battle and ready to experience a real shift in your life, you'll want to hear this. BOOKS:

A simple shift in perspective can completely transform how you see your life. I realized that all the fears, the “what ifs,” and the self-judgment that used to weigh me down were just my way of protecting myself. But what if, instead of fear, I chose curiosity? What if, instead of self-blame, I chose self-compassion? This isn't just some feel-good fluff—it's real, and it's life-changing.  For years, I've been carrying this fear of missing out, a feeling that I wasn't seen or heard as a child. It seeped into my adulthood, making me obsess over every email, every missed opportunity, every little thing that could go wrong. But today, I learned something so simple yet profound: by shifting my perspective, I can turn that fear into a drive for growth.  When I look at myself with kinder eyes, everything changes. That email I'm so anxious about? It's a chance to learn. That frustration over a broken bench? It's a reminder to stand firm in what I deserve. And those lingering doubts that creep in? They're just a signpost on my journey—not a dead end. BOOKS:

This episode is a gentle yet powerful reminder to slow down, breathe, and reconnect with the simple truth that you are enough. Whether you're feeling overwhelmed by life's demands or just need a moment of peace, this conversation offers valuable insights and practical advice for embracing the beauty of just being. Actionable Steps: Take a few minutes today to practice stillness—whether through meditation, deep breathing, or simply sitting quietly with your thoughts. Reflect on areas in your life where you feel pressured to perform and consider ways to ease that pressure. Remind yourself daily that you are already whole, just as you are. BOOKS:

Did you know that perfectionism can actually stand in the way of your happiness and success? If you, like me, struggle with the constant need to be better, do more, and achieve more, then this episode is for you. Let's work on this together. What's the one thing you're always pushing yourself to improve and constantly criticizing yourself for not achieving yet? Is it a skill, your profession, your romantic relationship, your health, or your eating habits? Or maybe it's everything all at once? In this episode, I dive into my personal journey of daily growth through meditation, journaling, and listening to podcasts from many teachers. I'm very attentive to how I feel, think, speak to others, and the mental state in which I do things. My goal is to stay in a beautiful, positive state. Do you know how to raise your vibrations? Do you have tools to bring yourself back to a beautiful state? What do you do when your energy level is low, and you want to shift back to positive feelings? For me, listening to joyful music works wonders. Just a minute of it clears my mood, making me feel more positive. Uplifting self-talk is another powerful tool. I remind myself of all the wonderful things in my life: my sons, my parents, my home, my garden, my cats. But as a perfectionist, I always crave more of these beautiful states. I want to feel those high vibrations longer and act from that positive state to see everything fall into place in my life. However, when I lose track and start criticizing myself over something small, it often spirals into a longer period of negative self-talk. I don't want this anymore, and I'm sure you don't either. So, let's work on this together. What question can you ask yourself, or what can you tell yourself to stop going down the rabbit hole of self-blame? We need new habits to create a new identity that allows us to accept our imperfections. For example, consider the cost of self-blame. It steals your joy, happiness, and peace. It poisons your life and the lives of those around you. Do you really want this? Of course not. You want to be a positive role model for your children, a joyful friend, and a supportive coworker. To break free from self-blame, I focus on my heart and breathe consciously. This simple exercise brings me back to the present moment, filling me with joy and peace. BOOKS:

“Do you come from a family where love was or still is conditional? Do you have the feeling that you need to be perfect in order to get love and be accepted?” These questions have been on my mind a lot lately, and I wanted to share some thoughts and personal experiences on this journey of self-acceptance. I've been there—feeling stressed at work, fearing my boss's reprimand, striving to be the perfect partner, and struggling to set boundaries with my kids. Looking back, I see how a lack of self-acceptance and self-confidence held me back. Even after years of therapy and self-work, those old patterns can still resurface. Personal growth isn't a path with a fixed end. It's an ongoing journey, full of discoveries and continuous learning. Just yesterday, I had a flashback to my childhood. I was chosen last for teams in sports class, feeling rejected. This resurfaced during a recent swimming training session when my colleagues made a spontaneous decision to carpool without me. Instantly, I thought something must be wrong with me. But this time, I did something different. I talked to myself with love: "Esther, you're totally okay. I love you, and if some others don't like you, it doesn't matter. The most important thing is that you love yourself." The more I replaced negative feelings with positive ones, the better I felt. After the training, I decided to interact with my swimming mates as if nothing had happened. And it worked. I felt at ease and could enjoy my time with them.  Have you ever had a flashback from your childhood that made you feel rejected and frustrated? It's an awful feeling, isn't it? But here's the truth: You don't have to let those feelings control you. By loving yourself and understanding that others' behaviors often have nothing to do with you, life becomes so much easier. Imagine approaching every person with curiosity and neutrality, knowing that their reactions are about their own experiences, not you. You can reset your feelings anytime, finding peace and positivity. BOOKS:

Have you ever felt like your love for your children or others is just... gone? I did, and it hit me hard. One day, I looked at my two boys and realized our connection was strained. I had fallen into the same trap my mother did. She didn't have the self-confidence to handle my rebellion, and her anger still echoes in my mind. I remember her face, the frustration, and her words, "You're the worst child on earth." That pain stayed with me, and I swore I'd never be like that with my kids. But there I was, feeling devastated when my boys didn't agree with me or show me the affection I craved. Then, something amazing happened. I learned that love isn't transactional. It's not a two-way street where you give to get. Real love starts within. It's about filling yourself with so much love that it overflows to others without expecting anything in return. This was a game-changer for me. Suddenly, my relationships with my sons, now 18 and 20, transformed. I started listening more, being present, and asking how I could support them instead of telling my own stories. Our bond grew stronger, and I could see them for who they are, not just as extensions of my own experiences. I realized that people's reactions often reflect how they feel about themselves, not about you. If someone treats you poorly, it's likely they're struggling with their own issues. Understanding this helped me find compassion even for those who showed me dislike. So, how can you start this journey of self-love? Here are a few tips: 1. Positive Self-Talk: Whenever you catch yourself in negative self-talk, stop and say something kind to yourself. Consistency is key. 2. Be Present: Give your full attention to your loved ones. Put down your phone and listen. 3. Compassion Over Judgment: Understand that everyone has their battles. Show compassion, not judgment. Remember, this is a lifelong journey. The more effort you put in, the better your life will become. You'll find yourself handling situations that once seemed impossible, and you'll realize you're not as affected by others' negativity.

In this episode, I open up about my journey of learning to listen to myself—a journey that began in a childhood filled with silence and fear. Growing up, I lacked the self-confidence and inner strength that so many others seemed to possess effortlessly. My parents, burdened by their own uncertainties, couldn't provide the reassurance and support I needed. This cycle of insecurity stretched back generations, leaving me feeling isolated and unsure of my worth. But today, I want to share how I've been breaking free from those old patterns.  I'll take you through my experiences of overcoming the fear of speaking up, the shame of feeling different, and the deep longing for acceptance. We'll explore how putting others' needs first, as a survival mechanism, left me disconnected from my own desires. Together, we'll uncover the steps to rediscovering self-confidence and embracing vulnerability as a source of strength. In this episode, I discuss: - The challenges of growing up with parents who couldn't model self-confidence. - The pain of feeling wrong or inadequate and the impact on self-esteem. - My journey to Paris and the personal growth that followed. - How I learned to ask for help and the importance of self-compassion. - Real-life examples of pushing past negative thought patterns and embracing positive self-talk. Listening to yourself and prioritizing your own needs isn't easy, especially when it's been a lifelong struggle. But I promise, it's worth every step. BOOKS:

Let me share a story about a dear friend who was drowning in self-doubt and misery when she came to me. She felt like the worst mom, believing she had failed her children and herself. The weight of someone else's harsh words crushed her spirit. Instead of lifting herself up, she found solace in tearing others down. But as we know, that's no remedy. With gentle guidance, we delved into her past, unearthing moments of maternal brilliance amidst the pain. As she recalled instances of nurturing and love, a glimmer of hope danced across her face. Yet, the wounds ran deep, echoing childhood scars inflicted by her own mother. So, we embarked on a journey back to that vulnerable little girl, offering her the tenderness she craved but never received. Self-love, I told her, starts with embracing that wounded child within, soothing her with words of comfort and kindness. "But don't you ever feel hurt?" she asked. Of course, I do. We all do. Yet, each time I do, I return to that inner child, cradling her until the storm passes. It's a practice, not a cure-all, but it works wonders. Self-love isn't a one-time fix; it's a daily commitment to ourselves. And while it used to take me weeks to emerge from my dark places, now, with practice, the clouds part much sooner. Remember this: in moments of hurt, resist the urge to blame. Instead, step away, breathe, and tend to your wounded soul. Boundaries are your allies; embrace them. I hope this episode serves as a beacon of light on your own journey of self-love. Remember, you're not alone. Let's walk this path together, one step at a time. Take care of yourself, and remember, you are worthy of love. BOOKS:

Today, I invite you to join me on a meaningful exploration of authenticity, a topic that resonates deeply within each of us. Have you ever yearned to express yourself more authentically? I certainly have. My personal journey has been one of self-discovery, enriched by practices such as meditation, journaling, and the sincere acknowledgment of my emotions and thoughts. Throughout this voyage, I've delved into the depths of self-awareness, embraced honesty and vulnerability, and cultivated empathy—qualities that bring us closer to our true selves. Yet, amidst this transformative journey, I've encountered two formidable challenges: acceptance and mindfulness.  Let's begin with acceptance—a profound endeavor in itself. It entails embracing our entire being, flaws and all, after years of societal conditioning and personal expectations. From childhood to adulthood, the pressure to conform often overshadows our innate authenticity. Can you relate?  Despite the trials, there have been moments of profound clarity—those stolen hours in yoga class where I connected with my innermost self. Oh, the solace found in listening to the whispers of our souls!  However, acceptance is a journey, not a destination. It requires patience and compassion as we navigate the depths of our inner world, tenderly tending to the wounds inflicted by years of conformity. And then there's mindfulness—the art of being fully present in the moment. In the hustle and bustle of life, with thoughts racing like cars on a busy highway, achieving mindfulness can seem daunting. Yet, it is in these mindful moments that authenticity flourishes, as we become attuned to the rhythm of our existence. Each day, I embark on the practice of gently guiding my thoughts back to the present moment. It's a gradual journey—one step at a time—towards embracing my authentic self. I invite you to join me in this soulful endeavor, where we celebrate our imperfections, quiet our restless minds, and revel in the beauty of the present moment. Together, let's nurture authenticity in our lives and illuminate the path for others to follow. BOOKS:

Patience isn't exactly my forte. It's currently my biggest hurdle. You see, I'm navigating life with a broken right shoulder and an injured left thumb, which has left me feeling quite handicapped in the realm of everyday tasks.  But amidst the challenges, I've come to realize that sometimes the topics we revisit are the ones we need to explore the most. Often, what we share with others serves as a healing balm for ourselves. It's a beautiful cycle of self-discovery and connection.  Reflecting on my impatience, I traced its roots back to my childhood. The echoes of "hurry up" from my parents still resonate in my mind. "Take your time" wasn't a phrase that found a place in our family lexicon. Consequently, I grew up believing that speed equated to efficiency and intelligence.  Yet, recent events have forced me to confront the flip side of my haste. From brushing my teeth with my non-dominant hand to struggling with everyday tasks, I've been thrust into a world of slow, deliberate movements. And it's been a humbling journey.  In this forced deceleration, I've unearthed memories of a carefree little girl who knew nothing of deadlines and schedules. A child who found joy in the simple act of creation, unhindered by the constraints of time. It's a gentle reminder to reconnect with that inner innocence, to reclaim the art of unhurried living.  But amidst the frustrations, there's a silver lining—a newfound appreciation for the gift of time. This hiatus from my usual whirlwind existence has imparted invaluable lessons in patience and presence. Lessons that extend far beyond the confines of my physical recovery.  As I tread this path of self-discovery, I find solace in the knowledge that every setback is a stepping stone to growth. Whether it's nurturing patience with my children, fostering resilience in my endeavors, or practicing empathy with my aging parents, each challenge is an opportunity for transformation. BOOKS:

Let's talk about challenges. Yes, those pesky hurdles that sometimes feel like they're determined to knock us down. Recently, I've had my fair share with a broken shoulder and a broken thumb, making simple tasks seem like mountainous endeavors. But you know what? Every challenge is an opportunity in disguise.  Instead of dwelling on the setbacks, I've embraced this time as a chance to slow down, reflect, and connect with the beauty around me. Despite the physical limitations, I found solace in nature and the simple joys of life.  And speaking of embracing, I had a revelation. Despite feeling less glamorous with my inability to doll up, I decided to show up on Instagram. Why? Because authenticity shines brighter than any makeup or fancy attire. It's about showing the world the raw, unfiltered version of ourselves – imperfections and all.  Now, I'll admit, I've had my moments of doubt. Who am I to inspire others when people out there face seemingly insurmountable challenges? But then it hit me – maybe that's exactly why I need to speak up. To break through my fears and be a beacon of hope for those who need to hear this. BOOKS:
