  • Shifting Fear Through Self-Belief and Curiosity

    Shifting Fear Through Self-Belief and Curiosity
    Oct 24 2025

    Remember how fun it was to be scared as a kid? Haunted houses, scary stories, and Halloween thrills made fear feel playful — even exciting. But as adults, fear often feels heavier: anxiety, doubt, and self-criticism replace curiosity and courage.

    In this Halloween-inspired episode of A Well Cared For Human, Kory M. Shrum shares two powerful tools for transforming fear: self-belief and curiosity. You’ll learn how to reframe fear as an opportunity for growth instead of paralysis, and how to bring back the light-hearted bravery we once had as children.

    Plus, Kory introduces her newest release, Final Cut — a chilling new collection of Halloween ghost stories — and other spooky reads to keep you company this season.

    Tune in to reconnect with your courage, rekindle your curiosity, and remember that fear doesn’t have to control you. Learn more at www.awellcaredforhuman.com
