Live Less Afraid
In the aftermath of a traumatic event, our instincts often propel us towards a place of safety where we can control our surroundings. We become hypervigilant, constantly scanning the environment around us to ensure our safety and that we'll never let that darkness envelop us again.
It's a journey many of us take on at different stages of life, triggered by varied circumstances. I too emerged from that cocoon of fear, living a life dictated by the need for control, until life presented me with new challenges, urging me to confront the question: What are you afraid of?
But here's the revelation – you are not alone.
Joining us today is Michele Jones, Founder of Live Less Afraid, hailed by her clients as a beacon of wisdom and resilience. Michele's journey, marked by overcoming trauma, navigating a challenging divorce, and grappling with the devastating loss of a loved one to suicide, has led her to a deep understanding of fear and the power we possess to conquer it.
Michele believes that we are all capable of recognizing the fears that hinder our progress and, more importantly, setting realistic, actionable steps to conquer them. Join us on Beyond Empty Nest as Michele Jones shares her insights on living less afraid.
❤️ Your Dare for this week is to identify the one thing you've been allowing fear to stop you from doing and take one small step toward doing it.
