Self help for people who hate self help: Help Me Be Me is a podcast hosted by the creative director and cofounder of self-help blog Yay With Me Sarah May Bates, who calls the podcast an “emotional toolkit” for positive change. Instead of the now-standard new age approach to self-care, she offers practical and implementable advice — led by an exploration of the root cause of your problem.

A cross between guided meditation and a business plan, Episode 185, titled Getting Out of Your Own Way, provides you with the questions needed to gain insight into how you process the fear of failure, and the tools that will help you overcome that fear. It starts with the introduction of Bates’ spectrum of inaction, for which she says there are six stages, including, first of all, acknowledging the problem. By identifying where you are on the spectrum, you’ll be able to visualize the way forward, she argues. You can do that using the eight tools presented in the episode, each with a different approach on how to confront whatever is holding you back.
