Repost from ❣️Fear isn’t good or bad. It’s just information❣️

The work—the real work—is learning how to look it in the eye without letting it call all the shots. Because when fear keeps us stuck or silent, it robs us of the good stuff: momentum, creativity, joy.

I believe fear isn’t something we have to fight. It’s something we can get curious about. Maybe even befriend.

If you’re feeling stuck, standing at a crossroads, or just hungry to reconnect with a sense of joy or purpose—I’d love to invite you to a free workshop I’m leading here in Seattle:

Befriending Fear to Embrace Joy
Saturday, May 10th | 6–7:30pm
Columbia City Yoga

We’ll explore how shifting your relationship with fear might just open the door to a little more freedom—and a lot more joy.

Spots are free but limited—grab yours at columbiacityyoga.com, via the MindBody app or send us a DM :)
