Getting to Good Enough · Oct 31, 2019 · 34m

We all experience fear. But some fear is sneaky and can really get us stuck, even if we're not aware of it. In this Halloween episode, Janine and Shannon discuss the way fear is often at the root of perfectionism. And we get into strategies for letting it go.

Discussion topics include:

Shannon’s scary (and hilarious) haunted-house ride in Paris

• The physiology of fear
