Episode 9 - Fear can also be good

from The Junel Popp Podcast · host Junel Popp

Fear. We all feel it. Most of us spend our lives trying to get rid of it.But what if we became friends with it?In this episode I talk about why fear never fully goes away — and why it was never supposed to. From the science of our freeze-fight-or-flight response to the wisdom of legendary free-solo climber Alex Honnold, I explore what it actually means to work with fear rather than against it.Because here's the truth: most of the fear keeping us stuck isn't a real threat. It's mind-made. It's the overthinking, the overanalysing, the running every scenario until we're too paralysed to take a single step forward.And that paralysis? That guilt? That cycle of wanting to act and then not acting? So many of us are living there right now.This episode is for anyone who has a dream, a decision, or a next step — and keeps finding reasons not to take it.Our special guest, Banjo is chomping a bone in the background. Of course he is.Happy Sunday everyone. As usual, if you have any feedback or would like me to talk about anything specific, please DM me on instagram: junel_popp. Sending love and light wherever you are.
