  • How Can I Release My Fears?
    Jun 7 2022

    In Jackie’s interview with Lynda Sunshine West, you’ll learn how running away as a five-year-old (to get away from an abusive father) and being gone for a week led to the belief that nobody loved her, which shaped her into a people pleaser who was ruled by fear, and how she overcame it.

    Inside the Episode: 

    *Find out what Lynda says was “the greatest gift I've ever given to myself.”

    *Lynda believes that no matter our age, we can change our belief systems, even if they are “locked in tight.” Find out how she changed hers.

    *Learn Lynda’s Powerful Forgiveness Exercise!

    *Find out how to tell the difference between fear that’s stopping you and your intuition that’s warning you.

    *Find out why Lynda calls the popular acronym for fear (False Evidence Appearing Real) stupid, and the powerfully effective acronym she replaced it with.

    Quotes in the Episode from Lynda:

    “You have a story to tell and when you start telling your story, it does several things. One is it helps you to heal. And the other thing is you can help others heal also through your story.”

    “Even though I was no longer with the abuser, the abuse was still in my head and now I became the abuser of myself.”

    “When you leave an abusive environment, you can't go back to the same environment because it’s going to help pull you back in. So find those people in your life who do believe in you, who do want to see you succeed and surround yourself with those people.”

    “When I know the cause, I can move through it.”

    “Once we have awareness, we can make a decision. And the decision is to stay the same or to change. Either way, we're making a decision. I have awareness. If I decide to stay the same, I have made that decision.”

    “The majority of my fears were based on the fear of judgment. That fear is the biggest fear.”

    “When we find our purpose, it's our job and duty to spend the rest of our lives living on purpose instead of living on accident.”

    “See the opportunity, then seize the opportunity.”
