Summary

This episode is all about fear--fear that camps out in your gut, that whispers constantly about worst case scenarios, that pretends to be wisdom but is actually just panic in a business suit. What do we do when fear writes the story that it's not supposed to be writing? If you've been following me for the last year, you'll know that fear has been pretty present in my life. Because of that, I've had to learn and relearn a few lessons. I'm sharing those with you. This is how I took the pen back. . . . . . Have a secretly extraordinary life?
