Fear is weakness, as you may have been told, and the only way to get ahead in the world is to become fearless. But since that’s all but impossible, we wind up spending precious energy we could be putting toward our goals erecting a stone wall around our fears when, in fact, acknowledging and respecting our fears could help us flourish!

In this episode, I speak with Farnoosh Torabi, a personal finance advisor, journalist, and author who explores fear and its role in our pursuit of success in her latest book, A Healthy State of Panic. We discuss how to identify and unpack our fear and use it to bolster our aspirations.

Don’t be afraid to delve into your fears with us as Farnoosh explains:

• What you can learn from observing your fear,
• How naming fear can help you tame fear,
• Why reframing “success” could quell your fear of failure.
