Often in the face of fear, we are taught to overcome with confidence, conquer with strength, or claim triumph by muscling through with power and force. But what if instead we learned to receive fear as an invitation? From a dear friend? A beloved? Or a curious child? How might that moment reframe everything we understand about fear, why it visits at, yes, all the RIGHT times, and how we communicate with it? And in a culture where we are being encouraged to say “NO” more often, fear’s invitation could lead you to life’s greatest gifts just waiting for you...if you say “yes."

In this talk, Leslie blends scientific and psychological research with cultural studies, and relatable personal stories to unveil the true nature of fear. Her approach challenges social conditioning that often times disrupts equanimity in our relationships and in our lives.

Accept this inspiring invitation to offer participants knowledge and practical tools to reframe their relationship with the “uncomfortable” and elevate relationships at every level.
