When Fear Shows Up: How to Recognize and Reframe Your Response
Manage episode 516061955 series 3640808
We all face fear—but how we respond to it determines whether we stay stuck or move forward.
In this episode, Theresa shares a funny (and slightly terrifying) story from SeaWorld’s Halloween Fright Fest that led her to uncover how fear shows up in everyday life. From running for the exit to avoiding tough conversations, she breaks down the 4 Fear Responses—Flight, Freeze, Fight, and Fawn—and how to recognize them in yourself.
You’ll learn how to:
- Identify your default fear pattern
- Break the cycle of avoidance, overthinking, or people-pleasing
- Replace fear with intentional, courageous action
Courage doesn’t mean being fearless—it means moving forward even when fear shows up.
Listen now and step into your next challenge with confidence and clarity.
