The Art of Fear with Kristen Ulmer and Alex Racy

In February, we welcomed guests Kristen Ulmer and Alex Racy to discuss the emotion of fear with our audience and talk about how to make it an asset and not a liability.

We all feel fear. Yet we are often taught to ignore it, overcome it, push past it. But to what benefit? This is the essential question that guided our conversation about how to embrace fear, find where it is in your body and even use it to unlock potential instead of avoiding it. Watch the replay below to hear more.
