317. How To Lean In To Fear & Understand Its Benefits

When was the last time that you did something that terrified you? In today's episode, I'm sharing what happens when we lean into our fear and experience the growth that happens on the other side. I talk about a trapeze class that I took at a couple's mastermind retreat last year, and how that helped me realize how much I've built up my confidence and willingness to do hard things. I'm challenging you to think about what you're avoiding out of fear and hold yourself accountable to step into that feeling this year.    In this episode we talk about: How our biological response to fear can sometimes hold us back  Building up your fear tolerance muscle  Tools that I've learned to check in and soothe my fears  The power of imagining the best version of what could come on the other side instead of the worst case scenario  Something exciting (and scary!) that I'm leaning into this year    Click HERE to text the word MENTOR to (602) 536-7829 for weekly business + mindset tips delivered straight to your phone!   Not part of the Girl Gang Community yet?
