I invite you to explore with me the difference between fear and awareness, and why planning to live matters more than planning for certainty. Through personal stories, midlife reflections, and moments where life’s fragility becomes impossible to ignore, I examine how fear can offer useful information without being allowed to run the show. Rather than denying that bad things can happen, I encourage choosing curiosity, presence, and small intentional yeses over postponement and avoidance. This conversation is a reminder that life is finite, awareness makes it precious, and living fully begins when we stop waiting for guarantees and start engaging with the life we’re already in.

Key Takeaways:

• Fear isn’t the enemy- letting fear make your decisions is
• Pretending nothing bad can happen doesn’t keep us safe; it keeps us small
• Planning to live means saying yes before certainty shows up
