Such a wonderful piece. I loved and needed to read this today. I have done so much in life alongside fear. Many big coureagous endeavours and adventures but yet there are small tasks where fear just paralyses me. I like you take the opportunity to explore, listen to the narrative, see where this thinking pattern stems from and then create and new message but of course it takes time for my brain not keep reverting back to the default fear paralysis agin and again. It takes time, repeatiion of epxploration, understanding and rewiring. I am so excited to read more from you.
My fear is asking to be a podcast guest as i dont feel lofty enough to be wanted to i will put it out there that if my voice feels aligned with your podcast i would love to be a guest.
I recently went on holiday abroad on my own for the first time, and had to argue with myself and my fear rather a lot along the way. Ultimately I realised that the only reason doing things there was scarier than here was a fear of embarrassment. Yes, everything is more familiar and easier to navigate in the UK, but if something went wrong or I was lost over here I would just ask for help. Transfer this to Sweden and the worry about being an annoying tourist who can't speak the language and missed or misunderstood something that should have been obvious made that step seem a lot harder. I can't say the anxiety vanished entirely when I realised the stupidity of this, but it certainly helped!
On the business side, any reaching out to anyone and risking rejection is hard – like asking to be a podcast guest for instance! So it's interesting to see that podcast hosts can feel the same way on the other side ☺️
