Fear is something we avoid experiencing and talking about, but it has so much to teach us.
My guest on this episode is Guryan Tighe, leadership coach, workshop facilitator, and communications strategist. She is the author of the book “Unmasking Fear.”
She talks about how understanding and working with our fears, rather than conquering them, leads to more success and personal fulfillment.
We also chat about:
· The difference between rational and irrational fears
· How fear can teach us where we need to grow
· How to use curiosity, purpose, and gratitude to move from fear to creativity
· How to release past hurts so we no longer live our lives trying to avoid triggers
· Why naming and working with our internal “self-critic” helps us
