from The Soul Podcast - Tools For a Joyful Life · host Stacey Wheeler
Send us Fan Mail In this episode, I explore how the fear of living, as William James called the "favorite disease of the twentieth century," holds us back from our true potential. I dive into the terror of failure, judgment, and losing joy, using inspiring stories of Harriet Tubman, Frida Kahlo, and Steve Jobs to show how courage breaks these chains. With insights from Carl Jung’s "shadow" and Anaïs Nin’s wisdom on courage, I offer a practical tool to face this fear and expand your life.
