Why YOU Need to Do the Scary Stuff You’re Avoiding (It’s Messing with Your Life!) —Jack Bohannan | Ep25

In this episode, I dive into the real meaning of “do your work” when it comes to personal growth, with relationship coach Jack Bohannan. Jack shares his own story of facing anxiety and depression as a young adult and how these challenges led him to focus on inner work, therapy, and self-worth. We talk about what “doing the scary things” really means, how attachment issues show up in relationships, and practical ways to build better connections. Jack, based in Bogota and trained in the Somatica method, gives simple insights you can try in your own life.

You’ll hear us use phrases like “personal growth work,” “attachment issues,” “self-worth,” and “do the scary things.” We break down why these scary things—like showing vulnerability, seeking therapy, or just saying hello to someone you like—are often the key to happier relationships and a more confident self.

If you’re curious about how to better connect with others and yourself, or want to know the one thing Jack says helped him shift his life, tune in now and let’s grow together.
