Ep. 153: Is Fear Black and White? | Openhearted Living Part Two
Fear isn’t always what it seems. In this episode, we explore real vs. imagined fear, how it shows up in our nervous system, and how identity shapes the fears we live with. Stories from our life in Portugal, recent headlines, and listener letters help guide a conversation on moving from fear to freedom and living more openheartedly.
✨ Practical takeaways for noticing and working with fear in your own life.
