Let us navigate this together as we explore the power of discernment in making informed choices that align with your values and beliefs. This episode of Empower Thyself podcast illuminates how discernment can help us filter through the noise and fear associated with embracing new technology or changes.We've all been there, questioning, researching, and trying to make the best decisions for ourselves in day to day life. We're examining how discernment can guide us in such situations.  However, it's not all about going against the flow; we also take a look at the pitfalls of rebelling just for the sake of it.Finally, we're talking intuition - that gut feeling that sometimes guides us more accurately than any data or advice. We're exploring how discernment and intuition work hand in hand, helping us understand ourselves better and make choices that 'feel' right. We also contemplate the power of self-reflection and asking ourselves fundamental questions about what brings us joy and what drains us.

Fear, that uninvited guest that often shows up unannounced, has the power to rob us of our dreams. But, what if we told you it could also be the catalyst towards achieving them? Do you ever find yourself lying awake at night, paralysed by what-ifs, or avoiding taking risks because it's safer to stay within the bounds of the familiar? We've been there too, and we're here to tell you that fear doesn't have to be your enemy. Join us as we tackle the often misunderstood concept of fear, its evolutionary roots, and how it can inhibit us from pursuing our dreams.
