Episode 05: Rethinking Risks: Why Staying Safe Might Be Your Biggest Gamble

Why do risks feel so paralyzing? How can we reframe them as stepping stones to growth? Tamara Loring and Dr. Mike Smith examine how fear, mindset, and perceived failure influence our willingness to adopt change. From gut-driven decisions to the power of intentional baby steps, they share practical insights for turning risks into catalysts for resilience, transformation, and success.

Fear is often just false evidence appearing real. In this episode, Tamara and Dr. Mike explore how fear, perfectionism, and the need for certainty keep us stuck in place—and why avoiding risk may be more dangerous than facing it. They share how mindset shifts, supportive relationships, and intentional action can move you out of your comfort zone and into clarity, confidence, and opportunity. The path to success doesn’t require perfection—just progress.
