PODCAST
What’s this podcast about?
Think about it, when we feel afraid, we do feel afraid not only about one thing, but many; our fears travel together -not along, and at times, we do handle them more effectively that others, but wherever we go, we do experience fear. That’s why, playing-it-safe actions are the norm and not the exception.
When playing-it-safe, we think over and over about our project, postpone deadlines, procrastinate what we need to do, shoot for perfection, ask others for reassurance, check multiple times what we are doing, or spend hours searching for information, and do many other things to approach a situation with safety crutches.
When playing-it-safe we can also avoid completely a situation, and never faced it.
We all play-it-safe and do what fear pushes us to do many times. It just happens that we haven’t been taught to distinguish when it’s effective to play-it-safe and when it’s a roadblock.
Who doesn’t play-it-safe?

The challenge is how often do you play-it-safe, when do you do it, and how it works in your life.
How can you overcome our natural tendency to play-it-safe when feeling scared, afraid, anxious, or worried?
We will look together at cutting-edge principles, skills and insights from behavioral science about fear-based reactions, explore all types of playing-it-safe actions, and you will learn how to do what works, what matters, and what you care about.
The upside of playing-it-safe behaviors is that – not matter what type of sticky thoughts we’re dealing with – we learn to step-back, question what we’re doing, try new stuff, find what works, and prepare ourselves to face what comes our way in this uncertain, unpredictable, and imperfect world.
What happens when you make courageous moves to stop ineffective playing-it-safe action and start living?

Meet the host
I love working with overachievers and overthinkers to get them back into their life and unstuck from worries, fears, anxieties, obsessions and playing-it-safe actions.
On a personal note, I’m a social introvert. I absolutely love hanging out with people, bounce ideas back and forth, and share a great laugh. And, I also love the quiet moments, the wandering around, pondering on ideas, and dreaming with new projects – like this one.
