Show Notes

I’d like to begin this episode by acknowledging the land that I am learning and living on is the traditional unceded territory of the Anishnaabeg Algonquin People.

The Merriam-Webster Dictionary defines fearlessness as being free from fear.  The thing is, fear is one of the most basic evolutionarily related instincts from common to all species, and that’s because the need to be able to recognize how and when we need to persevere to survive is an integral method for all of us to keep moving forward.

In this episode, we will talk about understanding fear and fearlessness, helping dispel the myth of living fearlessly.  Rather, we will talk about harnessing the power of fear, using it to help focus our mind to help us overcome our personal and professional fears.
