We return to an episode on fear from Season 1. We are taught to move away from fear when in reality, we must lean into our fears in order to release them. Just as a loved one or trusted friend may express their fears to us, we must step back, listen to, and hold compassion for our own.  Advertising Inquiries: https://redcircle.com/brands
