Epi 365: Fear With A Backbone
If I say the word “Fear,” what comes up for you? Do you immediately try to reject the thoughts that arise? Most people do. I coined the term “fear with a backbone,” some time ago. Yet, it wasn’t until this week that I was granted a massive a-ha moment that brought perspective to my own life and the work I’ve dedicated myself to doing since 2016. This episode is not merely about identifying fear, but more so learning how to use your mindset to transform fear into a powerful catalysts for change across all five master areas of your life: mental, emotional, physical, spiritual, and financial. While this is deeply personal, I hope this conversation is as powerful as the moment I received it.
KEY TAKEAWAYS:
Understanding Fear's Dual Nature
Fear is universal; it knows no boundaries or exceptions. However, there’s an intriguing dichotomy—fear can either paralyze you or it can be a driving force. Two types of fear:
General Fear - Rooted in uncertainties and potential threats.
Fear with a Backbone - Stemming from past experiences that have left tangible marks on our psyche and emotional body. It’s used as the evidence to keep you held in place, AKA “stuck.”
The Power of Choice
Three different people’s stories align and how it plays out, how two refused to succumb to fear and learned to thrive, and another has let it take them down.
I share my battle with a near death experience due to toxic mold taking over my lung. The battle illustrates how mindset plays a pivotal role in overcoming adversities. The focus on gratitude amidst dire circumstances exemplifies resilience at its finest.
