Fear Less University - Episode 38: The Fear of Ridicule In Entrepreneurship ft. Jeff Bogensberger

Brittany “Britt ” Caldwell knows a thing or two about what it takes to stop chasing your dreams, and finally just GO GET THEM! She is a Dancer, Dance Teacher & Choreographer, Cycling Instructor at CycleBar, and Athlete Performance Specialist. To add to her many other titles, talents, and credits, she is also a dancer for the Honeybees, the official dance team for the Charlotte Hornets of the NBA.

She is South Carolina born and raised currently residing in Charlotte, North Carolina. She has a B.S. in Chemical Engineering from the University of South Carolina & a Masters in Exercise Science Focused on Performance Enhancement, Injury Prevention & Rehabilitation.

In this episode, Britt opens up about her past struggles with fear, and how the decision to leave her cushy job in corporate America to pursue what she refers to as a “passion chase”, led her to realize what she was truly placed on this earth to do! We talk about just how important support from your parents is during those times of dynamic change and purposeful displacement. We talk about the relationships between belief and fear, and how fear has both hindered and pushed her as a dreamer, a dancer, and even now as an entrepreneur. And finally, we discuss how sometimes, God is just waiting for us to make a move and get out of His way for us to receive the guidance and blessings He’s stored up for us. It’s like my grandfather Lain used to say, “Sometimes you have to get off your knees and hustle.”

Britt is a fun-loving, genuine spirit who was a blast to sit down and talk with! We’ve since become good friends and supporters of one another from this interview, and I guarantee you’ll be inspired by her joviality, her wisdom, and her genuine zeal for life!

Fear Less 5 Guestisode - Ep. 2: Using Our Fear as a Sign of Good Versus Bad

Garrett & Chelsea are a husband and wife team, ICF Relationship Coaches certified through Empowered Couples University. And if one thing is evident from the very moment you speak to them, it’s that their admiration, love, and genuine respect for one another has helped them outperform and persevere against life’s many challenges.

Raising a blended family is never easy, but together they have gained an appreciation for the strength, understanding and resilience required in blended families. And through their own trials and tribulations, they seek to help others understand that while it's not easy creating meaningful connections with all of life’s moving parts, histories, and difficulties, it is possible! Their truest passion is working with couples who desire to have a deeper, more fulfilling relationship, where both partners feel united to take the actions necessary to make them stronger and more passionate about what matters most to them.

Their cornerstone: believing in the power of vulnerability, acknowledging your partner's past, and the power of a positive mindset. You can't control what happens to you, but you can control how you respond to it.

In this episode, we discuss the fear of vulnerability and all of the challenges that it brings. We talk about the challenges of raising a blended family, and how being vulnerable with both themselves and one another truly helped Garrett and Chelsea outperform their fears and get to a new level of love, respect, and understanding with one another. We discuss why being vulnerable is such a tricky thing for most people to embrace and get on board with, and how a lot of our defensiveness as sensitive human beings comes from the associations we develop throughout our lives.

If allowing yourself to open up to new possibilities and relationships has been a challenge for you due to your lack of willingness to being vulnerable, then prepare to get SUPER uncomfortable! Because we’re about to dive heart-first into the deep end of discomfort and learn what true vulnerability can do for your love life, your career, and your overall performance!

Christabel is the host of the Surviving the Arena Podcast whom I had the pleasure of meeting through another friend of mine, Cassandra Rosa. Since this interview, we have connected through Instagram supporting each other’s various endeavors and entrepreneurial pursuits, and even though it’s been remotely through the pandemic, she is a genuine spirit I am delighted and honored to call a friend.

Inspired to motivate people to make their dreams into realities and help them start living the lives they have always wanted, Christabel focuses on taking people with her as she embarks on a journey of self-growth and discovery. Having spent years volunteering abroad and finding her purpose in helping those in need, Christabel has the desire to help others take back control of their lives and overcome their pasts so that they can find and live their purpose as well. She is a faith-driven, academically-minded, travel-obsessed woman, looking to make her mark on the world and her local community.

This is one of those feel-good episodes, you know the kind where you grab a good book, maybe a blanket, or if you’re in the car, you just put the ride on cruise control because you’re about to listen to two first-time friends just having an engaging conversation. Christabel’s spirit and energy are so supportive and edifying, I know you’ll have just as much fun listening as I did speaking with her.

Fear Less University - Episode 34: Fear and Surviving the Arena ft. Christabel

We all experience fear. Rational or irrational, fear is very real to the person experiencing it. But fear is like a wild beast, and when you fight against a wild beast, backing it into a corner, it doesn't submit or relent. Instead, it fights against you harder, because it's just trying to survive! So instead of "conquering" our fears, what would it look like if we instead sought to understand them. Because if we seek to understand your fears more, we can learn to fear "fear itself" less. Welcome to Fear Less University™. Let the class begin.
