The Other Side of Fear
Your safe space for real conversations about self-improvement and spiritual growth; diving deep into topics like mental health, trauma, limiting beliefs, mindset, shadow work, consciousness, energy healing, meditation, purpose and more...
The Other Side of Fear explores thought provoking stories about the types of fears that are triggered by our individual insecurities, conditioning, traumas and the disconnectedness we've all experienced on some level. We examine the role of societal conventions and how they function as a strong determinant, in how we often choose to address our most personal struggles.
Our guests discuss how they navigate through various challenges, while taking ownership of their true desires. Giving you a gentle push, to live in a way that honours your authenticity. With a heart-centered approach, we contemplate the state of the subconscious and how it shapes the way we show up in the world. Essentially, to question and to make sense of the things we don't know and the things we think we know.
What does life look like for you when you can lean in, move through and beyond your fears and into your purpose?
Are you ready to unlearn and undo the old programs and reconnect with your truth? What does it mean to be in alignment with your SOUL purpose?

Bjorn Lestrud
Bjorn is a sound healer, storyteller, and founder of Blue Dragon Healing. His journey has been deeply shaped by ancient shamanic traditions and personal experiences with plant medicines, which helped him reconnect with his true self. Now he helps others do the same—guiding them toward emotional clarity, spiritual growth, and authentic self-expression.
Bjorn's journey began in the fast-paced world of high-performing sales, where outward success masked a profound sense of unfulfillment. Battling chronic prehypertension, arthritis, and lingering pain from a past injury, he felt increasingly disconnected from his true self. This internal struggle ignited a quest for authenticity and healing.
In conjunction with facilitating sound healing therapy sessions, Bjorn created the Primal PATH program, offering individuals a structured journey through Pain, Awakening, Transformation, and Heritage.
