Is Fear Keeping You Stuck? Here’s How to Shift Your Perspective [episode 73]

Listen to Is Fear Keeping You Stuck? Here’s How to Shift Your Perspective on:

In this episode, I share a story about a lion on the loose in Indiana that turned out to be something very different, and it got me thinking about how often we do the same thing in our own lives. We get a piece of information, fill in the blanks, and suddenly our brains have created an entire story about what is happening. If fear has you convinced you’re stuck, behind, or facing an impossible situation, this episode will challenge you to pause, look again, and question whether you’re actually seeing the whole picture.

I talk about how to separate what you know from what you think and how changing your perspective can reveal options you couldn’t see before. I share a coaching example about a farmer struggling to acquire more farmland and walk through the questions that helped him look at the situation differently. I also explore how to gather more information, consider different angles, challenge the stories we’re telling ourselves, and recognize when what feels like rejection or a dead end might actually be information or redirection.

In this episode, Is Fear Keeping You Stuck? Here’s How to Shift Your Perspective, I cover:

• How fear can cause us to fill in the blanks with our own assumptions
• The difference between what you actually know and what you think might happen
• How to look at a difficult situation from a different angle
• Why being in the wrong place is different from not being in the right place yet
• How asking better questions can reveal options you haven’t considered
• Why rejection or a dead end may actually be information or redirection
• How to make decisions based on facts instead of the story your brain created

More about the AGRIMINDS® podcast:

Are you in agriculture and feeling the weight of it all?

The long hours. The responsibility. The constant pull between your work, your family, and everything else that depends on you.

Maybe you’ve found yourself second-guessing decisions, overcommitting, or wondering how long you can keep going at this pace.

If that sounds familiar—you’re in the right place.

Welcome to the AGRIMINDS® Podcast.

This is where agriculture professionals come to strengthen how they think, decide, and lead—intentionally.

I’m your host, Kacee Bohle—coach, speaker, and founder of AGRIMINDS®. I help ag professionals navigate the real challenges of leadership, without burning out in the process.

Each week, we’ll talk through what’s actually happening behind the scenes—
the pressure, the expectations, the mental load—and give you practical tools to move forward with more clarity and confidence.

Inside this podcast, you’ll find conversations around:

• Burnout and stress in agriculture
• Leadership and decision-making
• Boundaries at work and at home
• Confidence, mindset, and communication
• And creating a life that works for you—not one that constantly drains you

This isn’t about doing more.
It’s about doing what matters—better.
