In this episode, Sarah and Jacob explore the questions, "Are fear and worry the same?" "Are they different?" "Do they have a relationship?" "Can we decrease fear and worry with mindfulness?" Sarah explains how to identify the three components of our fear/worry cycles. Additionally, Sarah analyzes Jacob's fears of flying and snakes and shares practical tips for disengaging from the worry around the fear and leaning into and healing the fear. This is an episode not to be missed if you experience fear, worry or anxiety and are interested in how to use mindfulness to move through it all in a healthy way.
