Playing it safe can feel sensible, but what if it is actually what is holding you back?

In this episode, I share why avoiding risk often costs us more than taking it. From early lessons shaped by loss to the surprising science of fear, I explore how reframing risk can open the door to growth, clarity, and freedom.

Whether you are hesitating on a bold business move or struggling to make a personal change, this conversation will help you see fear for what it is - data, not a danger sign - and use it to make choices that actually move you forward.

Here are the highlights:

How loss taught me the value of bold decisions (01:16)

The surprising science of fear and risk (04:40)

The hidden cost of standing still (08:50)

Turning fear into a tool for smarter action (12:20)
