#162: A Simple Fear-Busting Tool You Can Use Daily

Let’s talk about that low-key fear that shapes your day more than you realize.

In this episode, I’m walking you through a simple mindset tool I used almost every day during a trip abroad last year — and how it helped me make clearer, more confident choices instead of letting fear or resistance decide for me.

Plus, it's one of the most critical questions you can ask when making a big ("scary") life choice - as long as you answer it!

“What’s the worst that could happen?”

You're going to start using this question as an honest prompt to interrupt low-to-high-level fear and take intentional action (even if the action is not doing the thing).

You’ll learn:

• Why “little” resistance shapes big outcomes

• How to catch fear before it closes doors on your behalf

• A practical metaphor for expanding your options instead of unconsciously shrinking them

• What real-life fear fluency sounds like (with client stories & examples)

This is a must-listen if you want to waste less time in your head and feel more in charge of your choices—without needing to be fearless.
