In this episode, I talk about my personal relationship with fear and the things I fear the most in my life. I share how I’ve overcome certain fears, why I think it’s important to face your fears, and practical steps to combatting fear and anxiety. We talk about public speaking, the fear of losing family, being rejected, not living your life to the fullest, and many other fears. If you find yourself struggling with excess fear and anxiety (that doesn’t require therapy or advice from a medical professional), I hope this episode gives you more freedom from those concerns!

In this episode, I share how I've shifted my habits and way of living since moving to Texas from NYC. While I used to believe in hurrying, busy-ness, and pursuing more, I've recently shifted my mindset to being content with simplicity. From prioritizing my quiet time with God, allowing the space for slowness, and shifting how I spend my time, I've tried to embrace a slower life. This episode is inspired by my takeaways from The Ruthless Elimination of Hurry by John Mark Comer, a book I HIGHLY recommend!
