Fear is something we all experience. Fear can show up in two ways, it can show up to keep you safe and out of harms way and it can show up and sabotage you, keeping you stuck.  

You can identify when fear is present by understanding the 7 archetypes that make it easier to spot.  Identify where you see yourself with these archetypes? Does one stand out more than the rest or do you identify with them all?
