About this episode

This episode discusses how to identify and overcome the internal fears that prevent us from making progress in our personal and professional lives.

Ever feel stuck between wanting to start something new and actually making it happen? Whether it's launching a business, updating a resume, or initiating a difficult conversation, something often gets in the way—and it's not always what we think. We often label our hesitation as "roadblocks," but more often than not, those roadblocks are actually places we hide from fear—fear of the unknown, failure, or disappointment. Roadblocks are often external barriers we point to, such as busy schedules or endless tasks, which usually cover our inner fears. What's the thing you've been thinking about—and what's stopping you from moving forward? Let's start calling things what they are and make progress toward what matters to us.
