Can Facing Fear Really Heal You?

December 29, 2025 · 16 min

Show notes

For most of my life I couldn’t properly feel fear. From 13 to 36, I suppressed it so deeply that my body carried it for me instead – as exhaustion, chronic fatigue, anxiety and shutdown.

In this episode I share how I first reconnected to anger… and then, much later, to fear itself. How “beautiful fear” became a doorway into truth, energy and trust in life again. If you’re always in control but secretly terrified, or your body feels frozen and tired no matter what you try, this conversation is for you.

Join the Release program to speed up your healing from ME/CFS, Chronic fatigue, fibromyalgia, MCAS, Post-Vac and other chronic illnesses.
