1406: Consuming Fear & Expecting to Feel Alive

What happens when you spend more time consuming fear than creating hope? In this throwback revisited episode, Elizabeth updates an older conversation with a fresh perspective: people are more stressed, more anxious, more negative, and more emotionally flat than ever — and one big reason is that too many people are informed, but not inspired. This episode is about more than stress. It's about what happens when you live in reaction mode for too long. It's about why so many people feel defeated. And it's about the power of building something that brings you back to life. In this episode, Elizabeth talks about: why you cannot spend all day consuming fear and expect to feel alive the difference between being informed and being inspired why the world does not need more defeated people how building something creates energy, hope, momentum, and joy what this looked like when she was over 350 pounds and change felt like punishment why some of the best seasons of life come when you are making progress and creating something meaningful real-life examples from her own life, including bees, farming, grants, homeschooling, gardening, and trying new things how to think honestly about what news and social media are giving to you versus taking from you If you've been feeling stressed, flat, discouraged, or like all you do is react to life, this one is for you.
