<![CDATA[give it space]]> https://rss.com/podcasts/fear-why-do-we-have-to-overcome-it-what-if-fear-is-our-friend Give It Space is a quiet corner of the internet where you can slow down and sit with one feeling, idea, or moment at a time.

In short reflective episodes, host Vin Keely invites listeners to sit with him as he explores emotions like fear, overthinking, jealousy, self-love, boundaries, and connection. Unveiling where they come from, why they linger, and what happens when we stop trying to fix them and instead give them room to breathe.

This isn’t therapy or self-help. It’s a place to pause, reflect, and make space for what’s already here. A place without judgment or the need to have it all figured out.

New episodes allow you to take a breath, and leave with a little more clarity (or at least a little more space) than you had before.
