In this episode of the Shift Happens podcast, hosts Robin McIntIre, a Certified Life and Transitions Coach, and Monique Eckes delve into FOPO (Fear of Other People's Opinions). They discuss how FOPO can impede goal setting and personal growth, and they emphasize the importance of managing rather than eliminating this fear. Through personal anecdotes, they illustrate the challenges and strategies for overcoming FOPO. The episode also highlights a special offer on Robin's Spark Sessions—a coaching service tailored to help clients achieve clarity and progress on their goals. The conversation encourages listeners to prioritize their own aspirations over the fear of external judgment, with actionable advice on how to navigate this common psychological barrier.
