Command your fear! That will be the call to action by Barbadian born Canadian actor at next Sunday’s Season II opening of Ladies Speaking.
Fear is an emotion. And yes, there’s lots of talk about being fearless. But that notion needs serious unpacking. Strength & dignity are certainly 2 superpowers that can help you to battle against the fears that pop up in your life. Not oversimplifying it. You got to face those fears, baby! But you can power through them too. It starts with the awareness and the will. And if you can’t do it alone you can do what has worked for others …
1️⃣ Pray …that’s what I do!
2️⃣ Find a trusted soul to hold your hand …just like our mothers and fathers did when we were children.
3️⃣ Seek professional help if you’re plagued with anxiety & phobias. There’s no shame in having a therapist. And you don’t have to be a movie star to afford or deserve one.
4️⃣ Reprogram your mind to interpret your triggers differently.
With all this in mind we are excited that Alison, an actor, who knows how to command emotion will share with us her own experience with fear …how she faces it, overcomes it, and what she has learnt from it. And that will be the focus of Season II’s opening episode of Ladies Speaking.
