Fear often keeps us from diving into what we really care about, nudging us to play it safe instead. But this safety net leaves us feeling like we haven't accomplished much. Ironically, avoiding fear just makes us feel worse about ourselves. But here's the twist: we can change that narrative. We have the power to use fear to make us stronger and help us grow.

In this coaching session, I team up with Dave, a psychologist with a passion for music. Together, we'll dive into how fear prevents us from pursuing our dreams. We'll examine how avoiding fear can make us feel unfulfilled and doubt ourselves. But most importantly, we'll reveal how we can break free from this cycle.

This conversation isn’t just about conquering fear; it's about understanding it, facing its challenges, and using it as a tool for growth. We'll delve into the complexities of fear, self-belief, and the courage needed to pursue our creative aspirations.
