Katie Ping of More Of What Matters Blog shares two short posts covering how to confront fear and the lessons that dogs teach us about lifeEpisode 2295: Confronting Fear by Calling It Out AND The Lessons Dogs Teach Us About Life by Katie Ping of MoreOfWhatMattersBlogKatie Ping is a small-town writer, yogi, and mama who values simplicity. She spent decades of her life people-pleasing and drowning in guilt and shame over parts of her that she thought were unworthy.
