Truth Over Strength: The Real Way to Overcome Fear
We’re often told to “be strong” in the face of fear—but what if that’s not enough?
In this deep and reflective episode, Sam challenges the traditional idea of strength and explores how honesty—not endurance—is the true antidote to fear. Through raw insight, personal experience, and a touch of philosophy from Carl Jung and Nietzsche, this episode invites you to stop ignoring your fears and start understanding them.
Whether you're standing before a challenge, facing anxiety, or just tired of pretending to be “tough,” this episode offers something different: clarity, depth, and a new way forward.
🗝️ Fear doesn’t fade through force—it fades when we find the truth behind it.
💡 What You'll Hear:
Why “being strong” doesn’t always work
A better question: Why am I afraid?
Ego, discomfort, and personal transformation
The monkey-on-your-back metaphor (and how to confront it)
The power of inner truth over external toughness
Insights from Carl Jung, Nietzsche, and lived experience
