Remember how fun it was to be scared as a kid? Haunted houses, scary stories, and Halloween thrills made fear feel playful — even exciting. But as adults, fear often feels heavier: anxiety, doubt, and self-criticism replace curiosity and courage. In this Halloween-inspired episode of A Well Cared For Human, Kory M. Shrum shares two powerful tools for transforming fear: self-belief and curiosity. You’ll learn how to reframe fear as an opportunity for growth instead of paralysis, and how to bring back the light-hearted bravery we once had as children. Plus, Kory introduces her newest release, Final Cut — a chilling new collection of Halloween ghost stories — and other spooky reads to keep you company this season. Tune in to reconnect with your courage, rekindle your curiosity, and remember that fear doesn’t have to control you. Learn more at www.awellcaredforhuman.com

Birthdays are supposed to feel joyful, but for many of us, they bring something else: anxiety, self-doubt, or a quiet sadness we can’t quite name. In this personal and honest episode, I share what my most recent birthday revealed about aging, self-worth, and the passage of time, and how I want to move into the year ahead with more clarity, joy, and compassion. Whether birthdays fill you with excitement or dread, this conversation will help you see them differently: not as proof of what’s slipping away, but as an invitation to live more fully, right now. Aging doesn’t have to mean fear, regret, or invisibility. It can mean stepping into wisdom, freedom, and deeper self-love. Your next birthday isn’t a deadline. It' s a doorway into who you’re becoming. Learn more self-empowerment strategies at www.awellcaredforhuman.com
