Fear Isn’t the Enemy—It’s Fuel
(You just gotta learn how to drive the fear!)

Alright, real talk: fear gets a bad rap. We act like it’s this emotional gremlin that’s out to ruin our lives—make us freeze, take flight, or freak the heck out. But guess what? Fear isn’t out to wreck you. It’s actually trying to help you. It’s just...not super subtle about it.
The trick isn’t to get rid of fear.
The trick is to reframe it.
Think of it like a scared horse—powerful, unpredictable, and unsure at first. But with the right focus and our steady support? That horse finds its courage and confidence, no matter the situation.
And guess what? We can do that for ourselves, too.

So, first up: Reframe. That jittery feeling in your chest? Not weakness. Not failure. That’s your body saying, “Something big is happening—pay attention.” Turn fear from a stop sign into a spotlight. It’s not blocking you. It’s guiding you.
Next: Regulate. Take a breath. No seriously—breathe. Your brain can’t make brave decisions when it thinks you're being chased by a bear. Fear needs a leader, not a meltdown. You’re the rider here. Grab the reins and steer. It is great practice for being a leader for our horses too!
And finally: Redirect. Use that fear energy to move. Speak the truth. Ask the question. Take the leap. Saddle up and ride toward what truly matters—because when fear meets purpose? That’s when you stop panicking and start focusing on what brings you joy!
So here’s a tip from your slightly silly (ok, I admit it, majorly silly) courage coach:
Stop wasting energy fighting fear or letting it hold you back. Harness it. Use it. Let it guide you into courage. Because fear + focus = unstoppable you.
