"Oftentimes, when we're avoiding things, it gets bigger and bigger in our minds. The longer that you avoid the thing, it will grow and then eventually it will chase you down. If you don't face this fear now, you are going to be given another opportunity, and another, because life wants you to evolve." - Jen Briggs
I believe there's something powerful waiting on the other side of your fears. That secret potential—your passions, dreams, and fullest self—is blocked only by the things you're avoiding facing head-on. In this episode, I'm diving deep into how fear holds us back and sharing my own recent struggles with showing up fully authentic. Together, we'll explore how pain can be a powerful compass pointing us toward growth opportunities, and I'll walk you through the transformative "Reversal of Desire" tool developed by Phil Stutz that helped me move through my own barriers. This is more than just facing fears—it's about reclaiming your whole self and stepping into your most magnetic life.
