Being Fearless with Jackie Robbins
by Jackie Robbins
Welcome to the Being Fearless podcast! In this podcast we work on facing our fears, so we can live our best lives, unapologetically! I grew up with a chronic illness (ulcerative colitis) and for most of my life I allowed it to define me, hold me back, and quite frankly I lived in fear of all the things. I had severe anxiety and it ruled my life. I finally decided enough is enough and dove into the world of personal development and here we are! There is power in facing your fears! The truth is the only person holding you back is you. It's okay to be scared. Do it anyway!
