"When you shine a light on your fear, it's not scary anymore" best message to end the talk

[NixxSlays]

I'm a self doubter and people pleaser for sure. My anxiety has gotten so bad i lost all my friends and am afraid to get a job because people might yell at me

[lifemusic]

"I just need to know how to live" This goes through my head everyday. Damn.

[andrearenee]

This brought tears to my eyes. I have never looked at myself as having fear. I have always tried new things and stepped outside of my comfort zone. But I am also the biggest procrastinator and feel stuck at times but I realize now that it’s fear. Fear that I will fail or fear that I’m not good enough. Thank you so much for sharing this. So authentic and real 🙏🏾

The common theme in all these archetypes is the enabling of oneself to submit to the fear itself, therfore, letting it grow wild like weeds in a garden. Making a habit of doing the things that make you uncomfortable, and reinforced with positive self talk is the only solution. I hope everyone finds it within themselves to face and conquer their own fears and let shine the greatness we all posses within.

"because when you shine your light on your fear, its not so scary anymore" I like this

[ceecee]

Fear is huge for me. I saw several archetypes and took the test. Hearing Ruth’s story helps and is inspiring.

[SusieGuinn]

What a great TEDx Talk!! Thank you for being so authentic, real, and honest, Ruth. We need more of that in our world. Definitely shared this with a few of my tribe that could benefit from learning more about fear archetypes and how to still follow their dreams.

[tracydesjardins]

Combo procrastinator/self doubter here! I love the clarity in Ruth's message and I have identified how these fears show up for me. Working on this daily. Great job, Ruth! Love your work

[enucxus]

I'm always afraid about everything especially when it comes to my self... when she said Self-Doubter and talked about that, it really hit me. That is me :( thank you for sharing! It's really encouraging.

[thebookchatclub]

I enjoy how “real” she always is. Ruth, you knocked this one out of the park!

[samrob]

Such an inspiring story! I loved how she described the fear archetypes. I'm definitely a mix between perfectionist and people pleaser.

[JenniferRoskamp]

It's amazing how much knowing my fear archetype has affected even the relationships in my life!

[tinaforrestel]

Thank you for sharing your story and inspiring us to recover from our lowest of lows and face the worst of our fears by knowing what our fears are. My archetype is Procrastinator and things make so much sense now for me. You've helped me turn my fears into strengths and to say out loud, I AM AFRAID...BUT...I CAN DO THIS! Thank you for this insight and for helping me see the fear in a more positive light. You are such an inspiration and then some!

[stephanieduncan]

I took Ruth’s fear assessment and it was enlightening to say the least....and right on. I am first and foremost a Procrastinator by way of perfectionism and fear of not doing it right so it’s easier to not take action. After reading “Do It Scared” I now know my challenges....and how to use them to my advantage and even try to change them. So incredibly helpful.

[yvonnetucker]

Girl you are amazing. Praise God you have really come a long way. Prayers for you to continue to grow .Amazing that you are giving others so much hope.

[kimwhalen]

Thank you for shining on a light on fear and the different archetypes...Thanks for the insight & striving to overcome

[HeatherMoritz]

So insightful! It's amazing how accurate my Fear Archetype is!!

[yolande]

Gosh! I am glad I finally mustered the courage to find some help with this problem (by writing this comment I am already working towards that). I can identify with about 5 of these archetypes and as I was taking notes on this talk, my mind started working on ways of tackling the problem. Now that I have identified my fears, I feel more hopeful towards beginning the journey of lessening the impact fear has on my life🙂.

Procrastinator here 🙋🏾‍♀️ Knowing my fear archetype and how it can serve me or not serve me has been a powerful tool when it came to reaching certain goals I had for myself last year. Such good stuff. Thank you Ruth for doing the work 🙂💕
