425: It’s Ok To Take A Break From Fear

Fear doesn’t get to drive.

In unpredictable and unprecedented times, fear is normal - and even healthy.  Fear will sit right beside you, keeping an eye out for you, making sure you are awake and alert.  Fear might be in your front seat, but fear does not get to drive your car. 

As Marie Forleo says in Everything Is Firgureoutable, “Fear is not the enemy.  Waiting to stop feeling afraid is.”

If you’re waiting to stop feeling afraid, you will waste a lot of precious time.  You will miss out on joy.  You will be blind to opportunities that are right in front of you. 

In this episode, we will talk about how you can embrace fear, tame fear, and find joy with fear sitting right beside you.

Om Podcasten

Welcome to Shameless Leadership! This show is for women, transgender people, non-binary folks, and allies who are committed to advancing their leadership and the leadership of those around them. In this space, we believe everyone deserves to feel seen, heard, valued, and supported. Our mission is to help you foster these feelings within your own circles of influence to build trust, psychological safety, and a culture of belonging. In each episode, we dive into essential topics impacting women in leadership - everything from shutting down your inner critic and imposter syndrome to overcoming perfectionism to using your voice in new ways to advocate for yourself, your ideas, and other folks carrying marginalized identities. You'll hear practical tips, effective strategies, and inspiring stories that will not only enhance your leadership skills but also broaden your perspective to become a more confident, thoughtful, and empathetic leader. Our stories come from people carrying identities who are often underrepresented, underestimated, and excluded. By sharing their experiences, we aim to provide you with invaluable lessons that will transform your leadership journey. We are thrilled to have you join this community of Shameless Leaders who are actively creating a world where everyone, regardless of gender, can intentionally lead through a more curious, compassionate, and inclusive lens.
