Fear can keep you safe.
The problem with fear is that trust can’t exist in an environment of fear. And there can not be true connection and intimacy without trust.
There is a different way to keep yourself safe. And that’s wisdom, strength, and connection.

I want them to be brave.
I want them to live like warriors.
