Summary

Fear is a part of the human experience. We've been taught to fear making mistakes and that perfection is what's to be expected of us, so naturally, we will enter states of fear on a regular basis. In reality, fear is actually a sign we're growing. In this episode, we talk about how fear is an opportunity to become the best version of ourselves. We don't ever fail because in every experience we have we learn something new about ourselves or other people.

What is fear?

Fear is actually an evolutionary marker for when we are perceiving a threat, whether it's

to our physical body or hearing the context of some of these questions in terms of fear

0:55.4

of failure or our mental body or our mental self.
