Turn Fear Around Podcast - Episode 138: The 3 Biggest Mistakes Riders Make When Battling Fear

Everyone makes mistakes when fear takes the reins—but now it’s your turn to take them back.

In just 5–10 minutes, you’ll get actionable tools to:

🐴 Mistake #1: Battling Fear at all.
○ Fighting fear gives it power. You don’t have to “defeat” it—you just have to lead. You hold the reins.
🐴 Mistake #2: Believing fear is you.
○ Fear isn’t your identity—it’s a signal. When you treat it like a separate voice, you can choose not to listen.
🐴 Mistake #3: Obsessing over “what happened.” (This was a big one for me!)
○ Replaying the story keeps you stuck. Start sharing where you’re going, and how you are going to get there.

We can all learn more techniques to overcome our fear. The same things doesn't work for everyone.
