Episode 91 – The Fear You Inherited (Part 2 of “The Fear Beneath It All” Series)

Some of the fear you carry didn’t start with you.It was passed down—like a last name, like a story, like survival.In this powerful second installment of The Fear Beneath It All series, host Darnell Davis explores the deep roots of inherited fear. Not just trauma, but the rules and roles we were given before we even had the language to question them. The fear that told us to be quiet, to stay small, to play safe. The fear that made love conditional and made freedom feel dangerous.This episode dives into how fear moves generationally—through silence, through protection, through pain. And how it becomes a lens we don’t even realize we’re looking through until we start asking: Where did this come from? And is it mine to carry?Darnell challenges us to stop blaming ourselves for what was coded into our upbringing, while also calling us to the hard but holy work of breaking the cycle. Of healing what wasn’t healed before us. Of choosing love over legacy.Because fear may run in the family.But it doesn’t have to run your life.
