About this episode

Wendy shares a personal story about facing fear and the importance of courage in making choices.

Fear can quietly run our lives if we let it. In this episode, I share a personal story from my sport where I faced something I had been afraid to do. I trusted the operator and did it and yes, I did it well. But that’s not the real lesson. The real lesson isn’t about how well you perform after you do something. It’s about having the courage to face the fear in the first place. I also share how this episode actually started with the topic of choice , after I tried to do a Facebook Live about it. Fear crept in and stopped me for longer than I expected. This episode is a reminder not to let fear take control of the events in your life. Don’t let it stop you from doing the things you want to do or creating the life you want. Because on the other side of fear is choice. There's more about this in my new book 'A Crohns Solution' coming soon. Want to know more? Click on the link below. You know what to do https://linktr.ee/wendygathercole Wendy x x
