Today, we're embarking on a journey into the heart of our fears and discovering the paths that lead us out of the shadows.

My guest is Gareth Higgins, a writer from Belfast, who grew up during the northern Ireland Troubles. Gareth is a masterful storyteller, a peace activist, and a guide who walks us through the landscape of our fears, not by bypassing them, but by understanding their origins and confronting their power over us. His book is a beacon for those seeking to find peace in tumultuous times, offering strategies rooted in personal narrative, social history, and profound empathy.

In 'How Not To Be Afraid,' Higgins delves into the nature of fear itself—the ways it shapes our lives, societies, and the stories we tell ourselves. So, whether you're grappling with personal anxieties or the collective unease of our times, today's conversation promises to shine a light on the paths through the darkness.

Stay with us as we uncover the insights and strategies that Gareth Higgins offers, exploring how we can navigate the complexities of fear, and perhaps, find ourselves stepping into a space of greater courage, compassion, and connection.

Unbuckle your mind, and open your heart, it's grow time!
