How to Be Fearless in Midlife: Stop Letting Fear Hold You Back

From Self Care Club - The Midlife Edition · 1:00:43

Show by Lauren Mishcon & Nicole Goodman

What would you do if you weren't afraid? This week on Self Care Club, Lauren and Nicole are exploring fearlessness in midlife and why, despite having considerably more life experience than we did in our twenties, we can still find ourselves held back by fear, self-doubt and worrying about what other people think. From the fear of failure and success to the anxiety of being a beginner again, we look at the everyday ways fear influences our decisions. Why do we spend so much time imagining what could go wrong before we've even tried something? Why are we so frightened of looking foolish? And why do we sometimes reject ourselves before anybody else has had the chance? We explore the powerful connection between courage and vulnerability, including Brené Brown's work in Daring Greatly. It's a reminder that the people who deserve the credit aren't those standing on the sidelines judging everyone else, but those prepared to get into the arena, take a risk and have a go. We also discuss why midlife can be such a challenging time to embrace change. In this episode: Why fear can become more powerful in midlife. How fear of judgement and other people's opinions holds women back. Brené Brown, vulnerability and the courage to get into the arena. Why being a beginner again can feel so uncomfortable in your forties and fifties. Overcoming the fear of failure, rejection and starting again. How to embrace change and stop using age as an excuse. What would you do if you weren't afraid? Are you genuinely not interested in doing something, or are you simply frightened of trying? You don't have to be fearless to begin. You just have to be brave enough to take the first step.
