50. Exploring Fear: Why It’s More Complex Than Just 'Feeling It and Moving On'

Cowgirls Over Coffee

In this episode of Cowgirls Over Coffee, Lana Wilkes and I are tackling the subject of fear, not with a specific one-size-fits-all strategy to overcome it, but with an open conversation that invites reflection. As we dive into the different ways fear shows up in life, from the rational (like rattlesnakes) to the intangible (fear of failure), we explore how fear informs our actions, beliefs, and even our limiting behaviors.

This episode isn't intended to provide you with a 5-step plan to crush your fears; it's about starting the conversation. We encourage you to think deeply about what's beneath your fears, how fear impacts your ability to make decisions, and how understanding fear is often the next step toward progress.

Key Takeaways:

• Fear as information and how to recognize what your fears are really telling you
• Why the "feel the fear and do it anyway" advice might be skipping an important step
• How small, consistent actions can help unravel bigger fears
• Recognizing fear's impact on limiting beliefs and decision-making
• Why addressing fear doesn't mean eliminating it but learning how to move with it

This conversation is perfect for anyone who feels stuck or limited by fear but isn’t looking for easy answers. Instead, you’ll leave with the motivation to reflect on your own fears, how they show up, and what they might be telling you about the next step forward.
