S2E12 Fear, The Messenger

Sol Rising

Fear. The tiny 4-letter word that runs your emotional show! Fear underpins all anxiety, resentment, and painful relationships that make your life difficult. Can we really rid ourselves of it? Is being completely "fearless" attainable? For most of us, this natural human instinct is here to stay (on some level), so how can we use it as a messenger, showing us where to lean in and grow.

This episode is packed with tips and tools for becoming aware of when and how fear is driving you and suggestions for how to step into it (scared, not fearless!) and emerge from it transformed. Learn the value of exposing fear with the intention of transmuting it into an energy that no longer hinders, but transforms you into the highest version of yourself, which is love.

Key conversations to listen for include:

• The topic of death and how to accept the reality that everyone dies, and how to put this universal fear in perspective
• How to recognize fear and use it as a tool to set boundaries
• We cannot let fear consume us, rather we need to acknowledge it, heal it, and move through it with the intention to be love
• Ginny and Amanda's greatest fears and how they manage them by seeking the real fear under the surface fear
• Calming fear by asking yourself: What if the story I'm telling myself is not true?
• Using a frame of reference to show yourself how you walked through fear before and most likely came out the other side wiser and stronger
• How being of service naturally eliminates fear
• Fear is ALWAYS under anger, and how to get honest about what's really going on
• Becoming aware of how the news uses fear as a tactic to divide us and keep us out of our power
• And more!

Stick around till the end to hear one of the best suggestions of the show!
