How Can Fear Create Opportunities For Women?

Fear is greatly misunderstood. It has been a dream killer and soul squelcher for many women. Ladies, we have become masters of mediocrity and creators of complacency because of fear. These are not badges of honor my friends.

The fact is, everyone feels afraid. Top artists, athletes, writers, performers, business owners, and activists feel fear. When you experience fear, you are not weaker than others, you are just human.

No matter what you want to explore, change or move, you will face fear. 

In this months Become More Podcast we are going to learn of two women who faced fear and created amazing opportunities.

Why Are We Addicted To Busyness? How Can We Overcome It?

We are addicted to busyness. A busy career, family life, and volunteering.

Everyone has a busy schedule. We get through our week and feel we accomplished something. We focus on actions that keep us busy but are avoiding life’s reality and choices.

Why?  Because it is hard.

It is much easier to stay busy and avoid life’s hard questions. But, at the end of the day, you will fall short of achievement.

Your marriage will be average.  The connection with your children will be weak. Burnout will be prevalent. And, you will not meet your purposeful goals.

I hope you can take the tips from the Become More Podcast and begin to make changes in your life.

Stop Toxically Comparing Yourself To Others

We will never stop comparing ourselves to others. This instinct to compare helps us seek certainty, purpose and significance- so it is just a part of our life. 

But, if you find yourself in a comparison that is inflating your ego or becoming toxic for you, refrain from doing it. It’s not serving you. 

This week in the Become More Podcast you are going to learn to stop comparing yourself in a toxic way but using comparisons to identify your uniqueness; define your identity; create significance; and celebrate others.

With enough self-awareness,  you can eventually learn to use that comparison not to unfairly tear yourself down or artificially build yourself up, but to learn and grow.
