What is fear?
Brené Brown, author of Atlas of the Heart (a book we are obsessed with), defines fear as:
A negative, short-lasting, high-alert emotion in response to a perceived threat, and, like anxiety, it can be measured as a state or trait.
Our fear response evolves over time to help us protect ourselves from dangerous situations. It can be disruptive and destructive, leading to anxiety, stress, and even panic attacks. But when used effectively, fear can push us to achieve great things, heightening our senses and preparing us to take quick and appropriate action to defend ourselves or others.
Jenn Leconte joins us on this episode to share how she has taken fear to a whole different level and used it for good. Instead of paralyzing her, fear enabled her to recover and reach exponential success.
She tells her story about coming to America from Jamaica at the age of 16 for college and learning how to cook to make ends meet. Left with almost nothing after a failed first marriage, Jenn chose to persevere and overcome the obstacles in starting a restaurant without any prior experience. This dedication and effort, moving herself away from her initial fears to a new comfort level, led her to become an award-winning chef based in Eatonville, Florida.
Jenn is the Founder and CEO of DaJen Eats, specializing in vegan recipes with a Jamaican flair. Her passion is to help people learn new techniques and discover exciting flavors on their food journey.
