When you're facing a major life change, it’s pretty common to feel overwhelmed. Change can surface massive fear and uncertainty that can become paralyzing, and make taking bold, transformative steps feel out of reach, leaving you to wonder if you're really ready for what’s next.

But what if fear isn’t the enemy? What if it’s actually a misunderstood ally just waiting for a new perspective?

In episode 434 of the Amplify Your Success Podcast, Tracy Litt, a teacher of science and spirituality and the founder of The School of Becoming, joins host Melanie Benson to explore how to change your relationship with fear through both scientific insights and spiritual wisdom.

Tracy shares her thoughts on embodying the version of yourself that has already reached your dreams and reveals the tools to help you expand your ability to feel even when everything seems uncertain.
