To mark 50 episodes of “It Has To Be Me,” I’m highlighting insights from our guests about navigating fear and going after what you want.
Starting this podcast, I knew this universal challenge would come up again and again, and that we were in for a masterclass.
An NHL star coached us to see ourselves as always in training, and to find another gear of resilience. CEO and pioneer in infrared sauna technology encourages her team to make mistakes and then leverage them. A celebrity portrait photographer’s rule is to own the room no matter who’s in it.
Guests have not only taken us inside their stories, they’ve also shared their unique perspectives and methods for seizing the moment and grabbing the wheel when fear threatens to derail things.
The big lessons? Negotiate change with curiosity, listen to your gut, embrace failure as opportunity, get agency from regret, and frame every experience as a necessary step to achieving your goals.
Tune in for strategies to bulldoze those fears and seize your next “It Has To Be Me!”
TESS’S TAKEAWAYS:
- When you buy into fear, you energize your suffering.
- Name and claim your fear and it ceases to have power.
- The greatest antidote to fear is action.
- Fear and excitement activate in the same place in the body.
- Start before you feel ready. Courage comes from doing.
- To combat fear, focus on what you can control.
- By shifting from 'what if' to 'even if' you can empower yourself.
- Acting despite fear is easier than living with regret.
