from Inner Spark · host Casey Taton

Send us Fan MailIn this honest episode I share a vulnerable moment of realizing that fear was quietly holding me back from stepping into my next level.After experiencing a breakdown filled with doubt, nervous system reactions, and questions like “Who am I to do this?”, I began to recognize something deeper—fear often shows up right before growth.From reaching out to bigger podcast guests to being asked to share my own story, opportunities were arriving… but my body was reacting with tightness, anxiety, and hesitation.In this episode, I explore:• How fear can show up in the body through nervous system responses                     • Why stepping outside your comfort zone can feel physically uncomfortable • The difference between intuition and fear • Letting go of beliefs that say you're “not qualified” • Learning to regulate your body so you can move forward instead of shrinking back • Why we are all here to stop playing small and step into our lightI also share a preview of an upcoming grief series on the podcast and reflect on how every life experience—even the hard ones—can shape the voice we’re meant to share with the world.If you've ever questioned your voice, your worth, or your readiness for something bigger, this episode is a reminder:You can find me at:https://www.instagram.com/cataton/https://www.facebook.com/casey.taton/You can find what sparks me at:https://www.facebook.com/share/g/1AgeRtyojY/https://www.instagram.com/lmbdcelebrations/Music by: Jason and Ashley ScheuflerArtwork by:  https://www.instagram.com/graphx_ink/
