The Fear of Cancer, & Fears That Follow Us Everywhere

from Stuff You Should Think About · host Ron Porter

In this episode, I take an honest look at fear—not just the fear of cancer, which I’m personally navigating right now, but the fears that show up in everyday life. Together, we’ll explore the physical and emotional reactions that come with cancer and with any fear that tries to take hold, even the ones others might dismiss as “nothing to worry about.” Join me as we unpack what fear does to us, why it feels so powerful, and how we can face it with clarity and courage.
