Welcome to the first episode of Living Fearlessly with Michelle Hillaert.

In this opening episode, Michelle shares the heart behind the podcast and the journey that led her here. Fear shows up in many forms—quietly shaping decisions, limiting growth, and keeping us from fully stepping into who we’re called to be. Living Fearlessly is about learning how to face fear, grow through it, and choose faith, resilience, and trust instead.

Rooted in the truth that God is love, this episode sets the foundation for honest conversations, meaningful stories, and encouragement to live courageously. It’s an invitation to stop hiding, let your light shine, and step into the arena—imperfectly, faithfully, and with purpose.

This episode introduces what’s ahead and why living fearlessly matters—not because fear disappears, but because we learn how to overcome it.

1. Why Living Fearlessly exists
2. How fear quietly shapes our lives
3. Choosing faith, resilience, and trust
4. An invitation to live boldly and let your light shine
