Episode 17: Your Fear Is Boring

"You challenge yourself to do the hard thing and everything after that is so much easier." - Kellee Wynne

Are you living a Life by Design and not by Default?  Welcome to Episode 17 of Unfold with Kellee Wynne today, we’re talking about fear and how we’re letting it hold us back when we don’t need to because fear is boring. 

We’re talking about a term coined by Elizabeth Gilbert, author of one of Kellee’s favorite books, Big Magic.  Elizabeth says ‘Fear is Boring’ and this is the title of today's episode.  Kellee shares Elizabeth’s story and why she says fear is boring, what kind of fear we’re talking about, and why we need to overcome it.

In this episode, Kellee also talks about her own recent experiences with fear, her dog, and her thoughts about how fears play out.

Fear, like procrastination and perfectionism, hinders our progress. It's a safety mechanism, but often it crutches us from achieving our true potential. Consider small steps like the ice bath challenge to build the confidence needed for larger goals.

Creativity often coexists with fear, especially when it comes to potential judgment. Kelly shares her artistic journey towards abstract art and the apprehension of how it might be received. Despite these fears, she underscores the importance of stepping up as a leader in the art community and sharing insights into business and marketing for artists.

Fear, while common, is unremarkable. Breaking beyond that fear, however, is extraordinary. Kelly's journey serves as inspiration for tackling fears head-on and living a life by design. It's the small steps and victories that lead to monumental achievements.
