It was intentional, thoughtful action.

Now, there's a bit of Monday morning quarterbacking here, because if the action works out, then it was courageous.

If it didn't work out, then you say reckless.

So I grant you that.

But in her mind, she realized, she said...

If I hadn't gone to him right away, what was his next move?

His next move was to take the gun out.

And she said the next move was not to point it at her because he needed her signature.

He was going to point it at me.

And she said, then I knew I had to sign the document.

And let me tell you where it goes back to.

The larger point is fear is a natural human response.

It's biologically hardwired in us.

It's a primitive emotion that activates the amygdala.

It's the survival impulse.

So we need it, but it paralyzes us.

And so much of our life, so many things we do, whether in one of your episodes, you talked about silence, being quiet, not speaking up.

even having worry, anxiety, all these things tie back to fear.

There's a diffuse manifest fear.
