Good news: the original fear is quieter. It's not gone, but quieter. Ashley has done things in seven weeks that she genuinely couldn't have done in week one. News: three new fears moved in immediately. Apparently, that's what growth looks like. 🙃

In this episode:

📈 Why fear doesn't go away as you grow — it just gets more interesting

💬 The 6-month commitment and why telling someone makes it real

Facing Fear: How to Let Your Best Case Scenario Guide Your Decisions. Ashley Monique Menard chats with Prabhjot PJ Singh about where she finds strength, she also defines what ‘cringe’ and ‘the ick’ mean to younger generations, and then dive into how to tackle fear in life. PJ shares their approach to overcoming fear by first recognizing when it’s influencing your decisions, then examining the worst-case scenario (which is usually not as bad as you think), and finally letting the best-case scenario be your decision-maker instead.Thank you Leah Keele!
