Season 2 EPS 12: Fear, Courage & The Stories We Carry (with Dr. Randolph Schiffer)

This week on Grounded Conversations, I’m joined by Dr. Randolph Schiffer — neurologist, psychiatrist, author, and former founding director of the Cleveland Clinic Centre for Brain Health.Together, we explore the psychology of fear: what it does to the mind and body, why it’s such a universal human experience, and how people can grow through uncertainty rather than avoid it.We also discuss how the stories we hear in childhood — and the stories we continue telling ourselves as adults — shape courage, identity, and resilience over time.This conversation touches on fear, healing, transition, memory, self-discovery, and the complexity of being human in uncertain seasons.Whether you’re navigating change, struggling with anxiety, or simply trying to understand yourself more deeply, I think there’s something in this episode for you.IG: @olivia.merryweatherhttps://randolphbschiffer.com/
