What would you do if fear wasn’t running the show?
In this episode of Resilient with Jen Chambers, we’re talking about doing the things that scare us—not the "run-from-a-bear" kind of fear, but the quieter, sneakier kind that pops up when you’re about to try something brave and bold.
Jen shares the behind-the-scenes story of organizing and hosting a TEDx event in her small town—from the nerve-wracking first steps to the unforgettable moment on stage. She talks about the fear, the failures (hello, missing video footage!), and the fierce joy of doing something totally out of her comfort zone. You’ll hear about the science behind fear, celebrity stories that remind us we’re all human, and why pushing your limits (gently) can literally rewire your brain.
Stick around for a short guided meditation, a writing prompt to explore your next brave step, and an invitation to connect—because fear doesn’t have to mean stop. Sometimes, it just means go carefully.
✨ Featuring:
• The neuroscience of courage
• Quotes from Maya Angelou, Beyoncé, Eleanor Roosevelt & more
• A TEDx tale of grit, grace, and gear struggles
• A writing prompt + meditation to help you move forward
Whether you’re dreaming of giving a TED talk or just want to hit “send” on that scary email, this episode is your permission slip to show up afraid—and do it anyway.
🎧 Listen in, take a breath, and let's do the brave thing together.
