162. What fear is trying to teach you with Cat Dunn

What if fear isn't the thing holding you back?What if it's actually guiding you towards the next step you're meant to take?In this conversation, I chat with Cat Dunn, who shares her extraordinary story of leaving an unhealthy relationship, rebuilding her life from scratch, and discovering that the courage required to leave was only the beginning.We talk about the ripple effect of courage, why self-trust is often at the heart of the decisions we avoid, and how the promises we make to ourselves can become the foundation for bigger, life-changing choices.Cat also shares the surprising lessons she's learned from a lifelong fascination with fear, including her work as a professional scare actor and how it completely transformed her understanding of the role fear plays in our lives.This is a conversation about what happens when you stop waiting for permission and start paying attention to the things that scare you for all the right reasons.If you've been feeling called towards something bigger, but fear keeps showing up, this episode may completely change the way you see it. Key takeaways:o   Why fear might be pointing you towards your next chaptero   The hidden link between self-trust and the promises you make to yourselfo   What comes after the hardest decision of your lifeo   A surprising lesson about fear from a professional scare actoro   Why staying behind the curtain can cost you more than failing Get in touch with Cat:Website: Cat Dunn Instagram: @catlouisedunn    Facebook: Cat Dunn - Life After I Left    LinkedIn: Cat Dunn      COURAGEOUS ME – THE BOOK Grab your copy of Courageous Me – The courage to turn someday into today.  SOMEDAY to TODAY – event A one-day transformational experience for women who are done waiting for 'someday'.Friday 9 October 2026Find out more and grab your spot here.        Where to find me: Website: Kim Payne   LinkedIn: Kim Payne Instagram: @iamkimpayne  Facebook: KimPayneBiz
