Ep #7: Feeling the Fear and Doing It Anyway

This week, I was planning on talking about time management, but as I was working on the original topic, today’s episode emerged instead. I felt compelled to share it with you immediately as it is something I am currently experiencing.

This week, we dive deeper into the STEAR Cycle and explore how our emotional response to our thoughts influences the approach we choose to take in our daily lives.
