Lessons from Fear: Why It's a Sign You're on the Right Path | Episode 580
Hey there, Wishmaker! In this episode, I'm opening up about how fear often shows up just when we're stepping into something meaningful. I've felt it deeply during major life transitions—from leaving teaching, to real estate investing, homeschooling my kids, and even recently deciding to relocate. I've learned fear isn't a stop sign; it's actually a signal we're on the right path.
Together we'll unpack my simple yet powerful approach: Name it, Reframe it, and Take Action. You'll discover how clearly naming your fears shrinks their power, how reframing your perspective reveals the growth behind your worries, and how taking action quiets fear step by step. If your dream excites and scares you, Wishmaker, you're exactly where you should be.
