Let’s face it, fear is SCARY. It’s tricky to know what to do when you’re caught up in a moment of panic or anxiety. Your heart is racing, your palms are sweaty, and your inner voice is giving you 80 billion reasons why you shouldn’t #DoTheThing. So, what do you do in that moment?? Let’s simplify it.
My special guest today is a health coach who believes your fears can make you fierce. In our conversation, she shows us how to turn common obstacles into seeds for growth.
In her words, “to unravel your stories around fear, you need to know what makes you feel uncomfortable.” Start there and hopefully today’s conversation will plant a seed for a new beginning.

Favorite quotes from this episode:
[06:06] “The goal is to look at the problem. Decide, this is my limiting belief. This is not in alignment with my why, I am not happy. So if you’re able to be honest and say, you know what, this isn’t right. That’s the first step – acknowledgment.” – Koya
[14:45] “I don’t want to just glaze over and talk about all the easy stuff. I really think that a lot of us are suffering from childhood trauma and we need to talk about it.” – Koya
[16:33] “We can only take responsibility for our actions and how we react.” – Koya
[25:39] “I’m a people pleaser and I want everyone to like me. So I had to first release the fact that I need everyone to like me. It’s okay if some people don’t like me.” – Koya
[26:38] “The truth is you must love yourself first. Every single time in every single situation. And then based on that self love, move in accordance with what is best for you, not best for someone else.” – Koya
