A global pandemic that has ushered people to go inside and inward is unprecedented for most of us. It has caused anxiety and has brought out fears in us. Fear of uncertainty, fear of change, fear of the future. In this episode, we explore, with Stuti Singh, Founder of A Life Without Fear, all how fear cripples us and hinders our growth. We also question whether, at any point, fear works to our advantage, and we explore how we can move out of fear-based energy and transmute it into something productive.
