What The Fear?!
with Grace Marshall
A podcast about the fears that drive us, the ones that derail us – and the ones that dare us to do things differently.
Hosted by award-winning author and speaker Grace Marshall, this show explores how High Functioning Fear® hides in plain sight – showing up as busyness, overthinking, people-pleasing, perfectionism, or relentless productivity. It examines how fear shapes the way we work, lead, relate and make decisions – often without ever looking like fear.
Each episode features deep, honest conversations with thinkers, researchers and practitioners about what fear looks like in real life – and how we can move through it with more courage, clarity and connection.
Together, we explore the surprising ways fear shows up in leadership, conflict, communication, trust, innovation, uncertainty, silence, team dynamics and organisational change – and how to meet it with compassion, creativity and strength.
Whether you’re leading a team, navigating uncertainty, or figuring out how to be more human at work – this show invites you to rethink your relationship with fear.
