508. When You're Afraid to Leap: A Coach...

Jody Moore
About this episode

Have you ever felt that surge of fear right before taking a big leap in your life? That moment when you're about to launch a course, get married, or make a major life change—and suddenly your brain floods with doubt, worry, and resistance?

 

In this coaching session, I work with a dietitian who is days away from launching her course but finds herself paralyzed by fear. We explore how to have a rational, compassionate dialogue with the fearful part of our brains, how to answer the questions your mind throws at you, and why shifting your focus from yourself to those you're trying to help can be the most powerful antidote to fear.
