Episode 147: Facing Fears and Releasing Control

In today's podcast episode, Dr. Caitlin Faas shares with us how she faced and navigated one of her biggest fears, losing her husband. We disucss how North American culture creates an addictive reward system for using work and busyness as an "appropriate" coping strategy to numb emotions of grief. Caitlin shares how she practices releasing control of life by recognizing how temporary everything is. She decides when she wants to "play the game of life" and when she doesn't by using somatic practices and a powerful inquiry prompt. Take a listen to the whole episode and share your takeaways with us on Instagram @OneWade and @DrCaitlinFaas
