Show Notes

Change is a beast. For something to be born, something has to die, and this requires letting go of something near and dear. Even your bad habits feel like home. So, if you need to change something in your life—depression, anxiety, trauma, attention deficit, relationship problems, etc.—it can feel like being asked to leave your cozy comfort zone, the known, the familiar, the safe.

It’s so much easier to just stay where you are, and this is exactly why we need problems, symptoms, and messed-up chaos in our life. Without it we’d rot into static beings. We need something to light our fire and push us into our process.

Our fears create a psychological barrier between who we are and who we’re meant to be. Some of our fears are known but are difficult to overcome. Others are unconscious; we automatically resist and block our own growth without even realizing. Fear is one of our most painful experiences but it holds the keys to healing, personal growth, inner strength, and wisdom.
