Your 3 step guide to stopping fear holding you back in life

This week, we are talking about something that I genuinely think is shaping our careers, our creativity, our relationships, and our confidence more than we realise, which is the fear of being cringe. I did a bonus episode on this over a year ago now and it got such a huge response, and since then I’ve come to genuinely think the main thing that holds most people back is not lack of talent, not lack of ideas, not even lack of discipline. It’s fear of what other people think. So this episode is basically me unpacking all of that, the psychology behind why we care so much about what people think, why we massively overestimate how much people are paying attention to us, and the practical things that have genuinely helped me stop letting fear of perception make my decisions for me. + CHAPTERS 0:00: Intro 1:34: The Context 7:29: Step One: Shrinking the audience 14:38: Step Two: Redefining the evidence 17:01: Step Three: Putting it into practice 19:12: Looking back + SIGN UP TO THE WORKING HARD NEWSLETTER: https://graceb.myflodesk.com/k0sfhlac34 + SOPHIE TEA'S EPISODE:    • How Sophie Tea Turned Her Passion Into A V...   EMMA'S EPISODE:    • How To Stop Playing Small With Skims's Emm...   + FOLLOW THE PODCAST Instagram:   / workinghardpod   TikTok:   / workinghardpodcast   + DILEMMA SUBMISSION If you'd like to submit any dilemmas to the podcast to be answered in the bonus episodes, please send them to [email protected] with the subject beginning DILEMMAS or DM us @workinghardpod on Instagram! + MY LINKS: https://gracebeverley.komi.io/ + RETROGRADE, SHREDDY, TALA and THE PRODUCTIVITY METHOD are my own businesses, therefore any mention of them - whilst not being a sponsorship - is monetarily endorsed.
