We know it’s been a while since the release of a new episode. You’re probably wondering why there has been so much radio silence over the past several months. With a sad and heavy heart, your host Annemarie had to say goodbye to her mother in May of this year. After spending time caring for her mother and enjoying precious moments with her family, she’s excited to be back and looks forward to all the episodes we have in the pipeline!
Jumping into today’s episode, which we’ve titled Fear the Frenemy, we define the term “frenemy” and look at two keywords in the definition of fear: anticipation and awareness. We then dive into a discussion on the different flavors of fear and how our bodies respond to each of these “fear-cream cones.” Our conversation steers toward how to actively manage your fear and quiet your mind, and we share five steps to move your thoughts from the negative zone to the neutral zone. This is a jam-packed episode, filled with incredible insights into how fear functions and great tips on how to manage the fear in your life. If fear reigns supreme in your life, be sure to tune in to learn how to regain control, lengthen your lifespan, and improve your health and well-being on many levels!
