Do you ever wonder why you do (or don’t do) the things you do in life?

You have big goals that you’d like to accomplish, and you know there are certain things that you SHOULD be doing in order to make those goals a reality, and yet….something holds you back. You self-sabotage. Or procrastinate. Or let that little voice of self-doubt in the back of your head get to you.

What you can’t figure out is WHY!

The truth is the underlying cause of almost all the self-sabotage that happens in our life–especially  when it comes to making big changes or going after big goals–happens as a direct result of FEAR. Not the phobia kind of fear, like the fear of snakes or the fear of flying, but a deeper, more internal kind of fear.

And while  fear impacts all of us in one way or another, how it actually shows up looks very different from person to person.

So why does that matter?

Because understanding HOW your fear is showing up is actually the key to overcoming it! And what’s more, actually identifying your fear is so powerful that it works almost instantly.

Watch my TED talk below to unlock ALL the mystery!
