💬 Got something to share? Text or voice note meOn Monday, I told you fear came back — loud. Today I'm giving you the actual tools for what to do when that happens, because fear will return. That's not the problem. What you do with it is everything.In this episode, I walk you through the exact practice I used this week to move through fear instead of bypassing it: how to recognize fear's return, how to meditate with intention instead of just checking a box, a three-day feeling journal with prompts to get underneath fear's story, and the "three-try commitment" — using my candle that took three tries to light as a metaphor for trying anyway. I also open the door into September's theme: faith versus fear, and give you the reflection questions to start preparing now.We talk about:Why fear returning isn't failure — unconsciousness isHow to recognize the signs: drained energy, doubt, numbness, feeling stuckA 5-step process for naming, tracing, and writing through fear as it shows upMeditating with intention: what to ask before, during, and afterA 3-day feeling journal practice with prompts to find the truth under fear's storyThe three-try commitment exercise — trying anyway, adjusting, and lighting it anywayPrepping for September: Faith vs. FearIf Monday's episode hit home and you're ready for the practical tools to actually work through what came up, this episode is for you.In This EpisodeGrounding practice — "Fear, I see you.
