Relationships can bring out the best in us… and all of our fears as well. This episode is for anyone with anxieties and fears around relationships.
Quotes to remember:
“A relationship is not the answer to your problems in any way. It’s a mirror to show you more of who you are.”
“Within fear is an opportunity to discover just how powerful you are.”
“It is not the absence of fear that defines a successful relationship; it’s the ability to move through that fear, to look at it and face it and move past it.”

- Fear has a million faces and shows itself in myriad ways
- Fear is our mind’s response to being vulnerable
