Hello and Happy Monday, All!
The sun is shining here and TODAY I PUT ON PANTS! Yes, I did. It was a momentous event and I even have this picture to prove it happened. For one, they were white jeans that somehow still fit even after weeks of eating like we’re quarantined or something (another miracle)…and two, it felt DAMN good! I highly recommend it. However, I will be fully transparent that the “goodness” of it only lasted an hour. Off they came and back on came the sweats. What can I say, when you’re working from your coach or your kitchen table, lounging in tight denim ain’t good for nobody. It was fun while it lasted!
So today on LIVE Q&A Monday, I covered why the heck I even created programs about fear anyway. I also reviewed all my current offerings just so we’re all on the same page, because I know it’s been top of mind for all of you (I kid). So now you’ll know everything ;). Enjoy the read! I’ll post the video as soon as it is available in case you’d like to watch the live and in color version versus read my words. I don’t blame you! Here’s to day 4,673 of quarantine. Be well, folks. The goal here remember is just to stay alive – you and your family (anyone you’re responsible for). Otherwise, everything else can go out the window. That’s my opinion anyway – you do you!
Ok – let’s dive in!
1.Why did I create Live Fearless?
I created Live Fearless because I spent ALL of my life AFRAID. From a small child I can remember living in constant fear. Fear of getting sick. Fear of being abducted. Fear of my parents dying. Fear of being left out. Fear of not being good enough. Even the fear of swallowing pills. As I grew into a young adult, these fears turned to full on panic and anxiety disorder. There were periods of time I could barely leave the house. There was a nearly 8 year period of time that I didn’t get on an airplane. Crowded places? Forget about it. Tall buildings? Ok, but I’ll be in a state of panic the entire time. As one of my dear friends says to me sweetly, “oh Becky, never not afraid.” Sigh. My fear owned me. I watched fear and anxiety cripple my father, and I was hell-bent on not being like him (at least not that part of him – my dad is an incredible human but I didn’t want his debilitating anxiety).
I watched my life fading away. I was living someone else’s life. I was making ALL of my life choices based on fear. What I did and didn’t do, who I married, what friends I was comfortable with, where I would and would not go. The stories and excuses I had to make to avoid the embarrassment of admitting “fear” as the reason were exhausting. I had had enough with myself. Enough with fear getting in the way of LIVING my life. Life is meant to live after all.
I feel like I’ve always had that spark in me geared toward “self-growth”. I don’t like the term “self-improvement” because where we are at any given time is where we are supposed to be and there is nothing wrong with any stage, just as you wouldn’t tell a caterpillar to skip the cocoon phase to become a butterfly – how absurd is that? We don’t need to “improve”…but growth…growth is rarely a bad thing. Just as a caterpillar grows through its’ cocoon phase into a butterfly. Growth = adding on, progression, becoming more, taking up more space. These are good things. I want those things. So I took A LOT of baby steps over MANY days, months and years which included reading copious amounts of books, working with at least a dozen professionals, doctors, therapists and finally going on a spiritual journey and working with an emotional healing teacher that ultimately flipped the switch inside from always seeking and trying to find “the answer” to realizing it isn’t “out there”, it’s right here. In here. In me.
Over the last 5+ years I have committed myself to continued growth – to lean into my fear. To open myself up to its’ story. To listen to what it is trying to tell me…about me. Instead of running, I’ve learned to stay. So here I am, staying – in the murky, uncertain and still at times gritty life of leaning into and not away from my fear. Now I take those flights, I walk in those buildings, I end the toxic relationship once and for all, I quit successful jobs to take on my passion, I lean into love again despite my fear, I enjoy concerts and crowded spaces with confidence. Does this mean I never have fear and anxiety anymore? Absolutely not, but I also don’t fall so fast and so far each time I am confronted with something that throws me. It means I know exactly what I need to do when the fear comes. It’s not always comfortable, but it beats the prison I had myself in for so many decades of my life. Learning to “know” and trust yourself is everything. So that my friends, that is why I wanted to create a program that would help others that are letting fear live in the driver’s seat of their lives find the freedom and growth they deserve.
I created the condensed programs only due to the entrance of COVID and knowing people may be struggling with fear and anxiety like never before, but also may have financial strains at this time that prevent them from investing in the full 8-week program right now. So, I offer my eBook The Fear Spiral for FREE, I am offering my A.W.A.K.E. Process Mini-Course for free until the end of April and am now offering these lower cost/lower time commitment options for the 4-week 1:1 and group coaching programs. Another great place to find inspiration outside of FB and IG is the Live Fearless Facebook group that I created for women (those that identify as women). Join and partake in the conversation to keep us all going strong and supporting one another as we all navigate a world filled with fear.
