58. What Happened When I Realized Fear Was Running My Business
What if the biggest roadblock in your business wasn’t strategy or time—but subconscious fear?
In this episode of Confessions of a Spiritual Entrepreneur, Samantha shares a personal story about a silent meditation retreat in Joshua Tree that cracked open a deeper truth: fear had been quietly steering the ship. From money anxiety to self-doubt in friendships to playing it safe in business, Samantha reveals what happens when you pause, reflect, and look at what’s really running the show.
You’ll walk away with a powerful reframe—and practical questions—to help you reconnect with a more aligned, courageous version of you.
What You’ll Learn in This Episode

Key Takeaway
Fear doesn’t always look like panic. Sometimes it shows up as overplanning, people-pleasing, or playing small. But when you pause long enough to notice it, you give yourself a chance to lead from alignment—not anxiety.
