About This Podcast

What is your greatest fear is the first question Fxck Fear podcast host Catenya McHenry asks each of her guests. Without fail, there's always an answer because everyone has experienced the paralyzing force of fear.

The Fxck Fear podcast is rich with honest conversations about the science of fear, where it stems from and its negative and positive impacts in life, career, relationships, and parenting. Guests are everyday people who not only openly share their greatest fears but also their struggles overcoming fear. Scientists and other experts join the conversations too, teaching us how to conquer fear, how to be more brave and what it means to live peacefully fulfilled.

Recovering from a toxic narcissistic relationship, journalist, storyteller, entrepreneur and author of Married to a Narcissist, host Catenya McHenry reached a breaking point of the ways her abuser weaponized fear to control her into submission. But when she finally said “fuck fear," and remembered to harness her own power, she broke the cycle of abuse and became her own savior.
