What if the thing you’re most afraid of is actually your biggest teacher?
In this episode, Erin flips the script on fear and shows how “worst-case thinking” can become a powerful leadership tool. Instead of running from the stories your mind creates, she invites you to face them head-on — to play with them, to feel them, and to prove to yourself that you can handle anything that comes your way.
You’ll hear how confronting your fears actually calms your nervous system, how imagining the extremes frees you from perfectionism, and why doing the scary thing anyway rewires your confidence as a leader.
This isn’t about ignoring fear. It’s about alchemizing it. Because when you can walk into the unknown, fully aware of the worst that could happen and still choose to go anyway, that’s where true leadership is born.
In this episode:
Why fear shows you exactly where your next growth edge is
How to use “worst-case scenario” thinking to expand your capacity
The truth about your brain’s safety stories (and how to rewire them)
How to reframe fear into courage, confidence, and self-trust
A simple mindset shift that turns discomfort into a leadership power
Whether you’re leading a business, a team, or a movement — this one will help you stop overthinking and start trusting yourself again.
Keep rebelling. Keep rising.
