130 - New Courage Works Series: The Real Reason Fear Holds You Back (And How to Break Free)

130 - New Courage Works Series: The Real Reason Fear Holds You Back (And How to Break Free)

Fear often shapes our choices long before we notice it, nudging us toward safety instead of growth. In this new Courage Works series on the Live Brave Podcast, I unpack how hidden threat biases and self-protective scripts quietly limit our confidence, decision-making, and potential. I explore how fear becomes ambient in an uncertain world, and why it so often trades our potential for false security. Drawing on my work with leaders at Google, Amazon, and NASA, I share why courage is a learnable daily practice and the meta skill we all need to lead and live with greater clarity and impact.

My hope is that this episode helps you recognize where fear is shaping your choices and gives you a clearer path to acting with more intention, integrity, and bravery.

On This Episode
  • Why fear becomes ambient and shapes daily decisions without our awareness

  • How internal scripts keep us playing small and undermine confidence

  • Why avoidance creates less security, not more

  • Courage as a learnable and scalable skill for work and life

  • How bold action aligns you with your deepest values

  • A reflection prompt to notice where fear may be holding you back
