Why Fear Shows Up When Something New Becomes Possible

from Murmuration · host Sarah Matlock and Debbie Beharrell

Why Fear Shows Up When Something New Becomes PossibleWhenever something new becomes possible in our lives, fear often appears alongside it.In this episode, Sarah and Debbie explore the relationship between fear and possibility, and why fear is often misunderstood as a signal to stop.Drawing from their own experience of stepping into a new year-long mentorship, they talk about:• Why fear often appears when we’re standing at the edge of something new• The difference between intuition and fear from the past• How the nervous system reacts to unfamiliar experiences• Why waiting until fear disappears is like waiting for a day that never arrives• The importance of being willing to be a beginner when creating something newThey also share stories from launching the podcast, creating their programmes, and supporting women inside Embrace as they step beyond their comfort zones.The conversation closes with a powerful parable about the trapeze - a reminder that real change happens in the space between what we know and what we are becoming.Fear doesn’t always mean stop. Sometimes it simply means you’re standing at the edge of possibility.If fear is present in your life right now, the question might not be "how do I get rid of it"... but "what possibility might be waiting on the other side of it?"
