The Emotion You Fear Most

Flynn Skidmore
About this episode

In this episode, I explore the often-overlooked fear of joy and the profound impact it has on our lives. Through a powerful client story and reflections on my personal journey, I uncover the ways early life experiences teach us to repress joy as a survival strategy. Together, we examine how these patterns shape our personality, relationships, and creative potential, often keeping us disconnected from our truest selves.

Through the lens of amplifying joy as a bonding energy, we delve into the transformative power of embracing your full self-expression. This conversation is an invitation to reflect on the ways you’ve been conditioned to dim your joy and to rediscover it as a source of connection, nourishment, and creation. Whether you’re yearning for deeper relationships, creative freedom, or a life guided by authenticity, this episode offers a compassionate and practical roadmap to reclaim the joy you were always meant to embody.
