If you don't feel safe enough to pursue your goals, you'll never take action on them. Lack of safety is what's holding you back, not lack of time, passion, or will. In this episode I break down the three core needs every human has and how the fear of not having these needs met is actually what holds you back.

In this episode, you will learn:

  • how emotional safety impacts the pursuit of your life goals
  • what the three core human needs are and why we fear losing them 
  • an exercise to help you confront your fears and meet your needs.
  • how I helped a client get past her fears and move closer to her goals.



Your brain is trying to keep you safe and trying to make sure that you are always feeling loved and worthy and safe all at the same time. - Asha Wilkerson
