The fear of making mistakes can be paralyzing - it can result in procrastination, or in us holding back from doing or saying things that otherwise we would want to.  But what if we could let some of this go? Feel a little bit bolder, a little bit less afraid to make ourselves vulnerable.  It has been said that we write the book we ourselves need to read - or in this case record the podcast episode that we need to hear! So this one is for me. Join me in this reflection on how to let go of fear.   Special thanks to DJ Charp as always for the music & editing.  http://m.soundcloud.com/charp   Please reach out to me, your host, Dr. Christine Forte Klotz at www.forteklotz.com or [email protected] If you found this episode useful please leave us a review or share it with someone else!
