83: creative fear as a womb — not a wall

🥳🎉 This was my FIRST YouTube LIVE 🥳🎉 I will be writing about this experience on my newsletter — learn about it when you sign up to get the Soulful Visibility Guide: https://ayandastood.com/Whether it's the fear of being seen, judged, criticized — the fear of starting, the fear of failing — we all carry immense fears that hold us back from being in our fullest power, purpose, and alignment. Today's LIVE Soul Session is all about Fear as portal, fear as womb, fear as invitation.In today's LIVE Soul Session, we delve into the transformative power of fear, reimagining it not as a WALL but as a WOMB: A birthing place full of potential, aliveness, and possibilities. We cover various types of fear including the fear of being seen, judged, and failing, and how they can actually be invitations to deeper emotional and creative aliveness and possibility. Together we explore the concept of fear as a guardian of our emotional and creative lives, and how leaning into fear can bring us closer to our dreams — and each other's. 00:00 Introduction to Fear as a Portal04:38 Embracing Creative Fear05:52 The Desire to Be Seen09:16 Choosing Discomfort for Growth12:13 Facing the Fear of Not Being Good Enough15:52 Internal Family Systems and Self-Compassion20:01 The Law of Polarity in Achieving Dreams24:00 The Trap of Proving Self-Worth25:39 Facing the Fear of Being Seen27:28 Permission to Show Up Imperfectly33:32 Collective Dreams and Closing Thoughts#fearofbeingseen #manifestation #healingjourney ✨ get your FREE Soulful Visibility Guide: ⁠⁠ayandastood.com⁠⁠ follow on socials✨ YouTube: ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠@ayandastood ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠✨TikTok: ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠@ayandastood⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠✨ IG: ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠@ayandastood⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠✨ Website: ⁠⁠ayandastood.com⁠⁠
