“Fear and excitement activate in the same place in the body. It's just a different expectation of the outcome.”

“Acting with fear is easier than living with the pain of regret.”

“Always see yourself in training. Leverage every experience to hone your skills and upgrade your operating system. When you feel afraid, focus on what you can control, and choose to find another gear with your resilience and determination to figure it out.”

“When you need to calm yourself and meet the moment of dysregulation, notice what your body is asking for to shift the energy. Do you need to move? Do you need to shake it out?”

“To combat fear, go with your intrinsic motivation. What lights you up?”

“Intuition feels completely different than fear. Intuition is generative and warm and supportive, and feels right even if it's scary. When something feels right, it's like a feather that kind of gently settles to the ground. There's a lightness and an ease about it. Fear tends to have a judgment and a bite to it. It rarely says anything positive.”

“Just focus on having fun. Even if it's a disaster, at least you'll have a memory of having a good time.”

“Fear usually comes from other people's voices. You always have the real knowing. The moment you self-betray is the moment you stop listening to yourself.”

“If you’re afraid of a decision, make the empowering shift from ‘what if’ to ‘even if’. It creates an imaginary safety net that reminds you that you have the ability to figure it out, no matter what happens.”
