“Whether you think you can, or you think you can’t, you’re right.”


This quote from prolific American businessman Henry Ford is one I use often, because usually our fears - of failure, of self-worth, or of anything else - usually stem from within.


The power of positive thinking, right? A positive attitude with confidence and resilience can manifest better outcomes, so in this episode I am going to tackle this with you.


This episode is based on the international bestselling book Feel the Fear And Do It Anyway by Susan Jeffers. I’m going to tackle Susan’s five truths about fear, and provide some real world examples and actionable steps you can take to manage your kids’ fears (and maybe your own, too!).


So find a comfy seat, pour yourself a cuppa and enjoy the conversation…
