At first, we thought it was a bad idea… | 🎙 EP# 27

What if the thing you're most afraid of… is actually the thing you're supposed to do next?

In this raw and unfiltered episode, Kristi and Erik rip the mask off of fear — not to shame it, but to understand it. Because let’s be honest: fear’s gonna ride shotgun on your journey. The trick is not letting it drive.

We break down the difference between irrational fear and wise prudence, and more importantly — how to tell the difference when you're standing at the edge of a decision that could change everything.

Whether you’re thinking about quitting your job, buying that property, or finally launching that thing you keep talking about… this one’s for you.

In this episode:

• The real difference between fear and prudence (and why it matters)

• Our go-to fear assessment tools you can steal today

• Stories of leaving security behind to chase something better

• How to stop your ego from running the show

• Why calculated risk is the only kind worth taking

• What happens when you finally get brave enough to bet on yourself
  

💥 Real truth: You don’t need to kill fear to move forward. You need to learn how to listen to it without obeying it.
