#116: Do you allow yourself to face your fears?

About this episode

When our boys were little, they played a game with their cousin called Face Your Fears. One at a time, they would venture into the unfinished part of the basement without the lights on.


Can you just imagine their little excited bodies jumping up and down at the prospect of doing something a little risky?


When was the last time you intentionally faced a fear?


Usually we avoid things that scare us, sometimes avoiding things that can make our lives more special.


One thing that helps me is to intentionally do things that scare me. It might sound a little cooky, but it’s actually empowering because we get to see that the thing that seemed so scary is often only scary in our minds.  

In this episode, I share how I confronted something I had been avoiding for years.  

So what are you avoiding? What have you convinced yourself will be too hard or won't work out? Even if it doesn't work out you'll still likely feel better that you made the effort. 

This week, do one thing that scares you – and if you’re willing message me at  https://www.instagram.com/suzanneandorabarron/and tell me what you did. I’d love to hear.
