What Riding on Motorbikes in Bali Taught Me About Dealing with Fear

 

What do motorbike rides and softening your fear of being seen have in common?

In this episode, I share a sweaty-palmed, heart-racing story about getting on the back of a motorbike in Bali most days for a month

— and how these real-life moments of terror gave me three key insights to help creatives and performers with the fear that’s holding them hostage.

We’re diving deep into:

  • Why surface-level motivation won’t hold up when fear kicks in

  • Why convincing yourself that “it’s not a big deal” and “you should be over it by now” does more harm than good

  • What changing conditions can teach us about titration and building real resilience

  • And how fear, when met with compassion, can dramatically change the friction you experience because of it.

So let’s look at how you can more sustainably move through your fear towards what is most meaningful to you without bulldozing your nervous system in the process.

If you’ve ever felt like fear is holding you back from the creative life you really want to live — this one's for you.
