The Other Side of Fear
The Book
The Universe Assigned
Fear to Me
In 2019, the impact of fear landed in my lap as I sat in a workshop listening to someone tell their story. Their story was not about fear, but it oozed fear within every word. I felt as though the universe had handed me an assignment to bring awareness around the pandemic of fear in our world. As this duty reverberated throughout my body and soul, I began to learn about fear and the many faces of fear. I also began to talk about fear and how we all live in fear.
It was from that moment in 2019, I knew that this book, The Other Side of Fear, needed to burst into our society and combat the layers of horror, anxiety, dread, suspicion and unease that has engulfed our world, our politics, our schools and our social circles.
I invite you to step into the universe of fear, look it in the eye,
recognize it for all it is, work through it and
live from freedom and love on the other side of fear.

Fear immobilizes us. It is good at telling us what can't be done. Sometimes it seems to rejoice in failures, whispering in our ear. "I told you it wouldn't work." The goal is given a hideous face and an altitude beyond our lung capacity... or so we think. Fear is at the root of so many things that debilitate progress and growth. Quietly sitting in the back of those corridors housing hate, greed, racism, corruption, treachery, sexism, apathy and whatever else stands in the way of good, old-fashioned opportunity. Fear demonizes questions to its philosophy and grip. It ostracizes imagination in the face of the status quo. Too many of us take it in over inflated doses. This book is about taking our power back, being in tune with the power that comes in overcoming the fears that haunt us, stagnate and, sometimes, spiritually kill us. In these pages a line is being drawn in the sand and fear is not only being faced but overcome one day, one moment or one word at a time. It is not to say we are never afraid, but rather, that fear will no longer dictate where our potential goes. Faced, fear loses some of its power and eventually the sky is truly the limit.
