Fear, often disguised as care, slips into our language and begins to shape the way we see the world and ourselves. Nicole reflects on how phrases like “be careful” quietly train us to shrink, to mistrust our own instincts, and to expect danger. She shares stories from her own life and lessons from a Kabbalist teacher to illustrate how true strength comes from inner clarity, not control. The conversation moves through the subtle ways fear operates as a tool of social management, how it creates quiet oppression in everyday life, and how reclaiming power begins with noticing. With warmth and practicality, Nicole offers ways to work with fear, stay steady in non-ordinary states, and cultivate a sense of appreciation as a form of power. This is about remembering that trust, not caution, is what makes real connection possible.
