Facing Fears: A Journey to Personal Growth

​​In this Halloween-themed episode, Marissa and Ken explore the four fears that might be quietly undermining your success. They discuss why fear is normal (and designed to keep us safe), but also how it can lead to inaction if left unchecked. They break down why these four fears are so pervasive—and what you can do to overcome them.

Key Takeaways

1. Fear of Failure: If we’re scared to fail, we’ll be scared to try. Normalizing failure can be the key to progress.
2. Fear of Letting People Down: Overcommitting can lead to burnout. Setting healthy boundaries starts with self-awareness.
3. Fear of the Unknown: It’s natural to crave control, but true growth happens when you embrace uncertainty and focus on what you can control.
4. Fear of Success: Success can be intimidating if you believe it will change how others see you. Define success on your own terms to stay grounded.
