Say f**k it and feel the fear with John Parkin

The Happy Startup School

In this episode of the podcast we’re in conversation with John Parkin the author of F**k It: The Ultimate Spiritual Way. We hear about his journey of self healing and how saying f**k it was core to it. It’s about not holding on so tightly to ideas and concepts and being more aware of the unfair expectations we place on ourselves, situations or events. When it comes to saying f**k it to fear John talks about accepting the feelings rather than pushing them away. He says “we’re scared of sadness, pain, vulnerability and grief… in normal times we’re all too busy and we don’t experience significant pain or joy and so the nervous system is almost frozen. But when you allow people to be more vulnerable and relaxed the ice starts to melt and they get to feel that pain and joy again.” There are so many gems in this episode and so if you struggle with dealing with the high and lows of the entrepreneurial journey then listen on and learn how the f**k it way can show you the path forward.
