Thank you for being a listener. Kindly give us a review.

Fear is the loudest voice in your mind — yet it’s the voice that lies the most.

In this powerful episode of Framing New Heights, Life Coach and Liv2Thrive founder Michael Hicks breaks down the real reason fear feels so controlling, how it shapes your identity, and more importantly — how you can break free from the stories fear keeps telling you.

If you've been stuck in overthinking… procrastination… people-pleasing… perfectionism… or self-doubt — this is the episode that will shift everything.

Today you’ll learn:

✅ Why fear becomes your identity

Fear attaches itself to past trauma, childhood wounds, and old stories you never challenged. You don’t respond to fear — you respond to memory.

✅ How fear rewrites your future before you even step into it

Fear is historical, not logical. It uses your past to sabotage your potential.

✅ Why fear intensifies when you try to grow

Spiritual, emotional, and physical breakthroughs always trigger resistance.

✅ How to defeat fear using the Liv2Thrive Framework

You’ll learn the 5-step blueprint for breaking the cycle:

Name the fear

Trace the origin

Replace the story

Take micro-action

Anchor your faith

✅ Biblical truths that expose fear as a liar

→ 2 Timothy 1:7
→ Psalm 34:4
→ Joshua 1:9
→ Romans 8:15

✅ Real stories from Michael’s childhood + clients

From growing up in chaos… to a teacher punched by a 4th grader… to clients who finally overcame fear after decades — these stories will bring clarity, courage, and conviction.
