Business:Entrepreneurship
Are you afraid of FEAR?
There's a lot of messaging out there about how we need to stare our fear in the face and crush it! "Do it scared"
Fear gets a bad rap! It's a "victim of some unfortunate PR". We’re told it’s a barrier to living our best life and if we give into our fears, we're most certainly doomed to crash and burn.
My guest today, Farnoosh Torabi, author, journalist, and host of the SO Money podcast has a different perspective of fear.
She believes that fear can be a teacher, an impetus, and a KEY to our success and happiness!
In this episode, we talk about the fears that hold us back, personally and professionally and how the wisdom they contain can lead us to live more meaningful lives.
In this episode with Farnoosh Torabi:
- How she decided to write A Healthy State of Panic, an entire book on fear, and why now
- Where Farnoosh determined the nine flavors of fear she discusses in the book: rejection, loneliness, FOMO, exposure, failure, money, uncertainty, endings, and losing our freedom.
- How fear can help us to live more meaningful lives if we're willing to sit with it, explore it, and embrace it
