Introduction
Journey Toward Fearlessness
A year-long meditation course for those who want to meet life without avoidance.
Most people treat their own minds as dangerous territory.
This course helps you learn to stay present with experience instead of avoiding it.
HOW FEAR SHAPES OUR LIVES
Fear doesn’t usually show up as panic.
Most of the time, it shows up as management.
We organize our lives around not feeling certain things. We build routines, habits, and relationships so discomfort stays just out of view.
It shows up in small, everyday ways:
We drink coffee so we don’t feel tired.
We avoid hard conversations so we don’t feel exposed.
We soften the truth — or don’t say it at all — so we don’t have to feel the tension honesty can bring.
None of this feels dramatic.
It feels normal.
And for a while, it works.
Over time, trying to control experience becomes tiring. Life starts to feel smaller.
Choices are shaped less by what matters, and more by what helps us avoid discomfort in the moment.
We begin reacting to feelings before we even notice them.
This is how fear runs our lives
Quietly.
Indirectly.
Through avoidance, rather than panic.
Meditation works by interrupting this pattern.
Not by forcing fear away, but by helping us stay present long enough to feel what’s actually here.
A Short Introduction To Meditation
ABOUT JARED
I teach meditation as a way to meet your life more honestly, not as a way to escape it.
My focus is helping people learn how to stay present with their experience — especially when things are difficult. Not by trying to control what they feel, but by learning how to meet it directly.
A core part of my teaching is making practice accessible. This training does not require long retreats, strict routines, or sitting every day. Instead, it helps you learn how to practice within the life you already have.
That means bringing attention into real moments: conversations, stress, uncertainty, and everyday life. Over time, practice becomes less about something you do on a cushion, and more about how you relate to experience as it unfolds.
While I’ve spent many years in meditation training, including long silent retreats, I’ve also had to bring this practice into demanding and uncertain parts of life — as a Navy EOD technician, a professional poker player, a business owner, a coach, and in my everyday relationships.
This work comes from that place: learning to treat daily life as practice, and learning from experience as it happens.
“Not everything that is faced can be changed, but nothing can be changed until it is faced.” - James Baldwin
REFRAME MEDITATION
Fearlessness doesn’t mean you stop feeling afraid.
It means fear has less control over how you live.
When you no longer organize your life around avoiding certain feelings, something opens up.
Choices stop being reactive.
You’re no longer negotiating with discomfort before every decision.
You can tell the truth without rehearsing how it will land.
You can feel tired without trying to escape it.
You can notice anxiety without letting it decide what you do next.
This is where real freedom lives.
Not in controlling experience,
but in staying present long enough to respond on purpose.
Fear can still arise—but it no longer runs the show.
Meditation trains this capacity.
It slows the moment where something happens and habit takes over.
It creates just enough space to see clearly before reacting.
Over time, that space compounds.
Life becomes less about managing yourself and more about meeting what’s here.
Decisions feel simpler—not because they’re easy, but because they’re no longer driven by avoidance.
This is what fearlessness gives you:
Not a different life,
but more room to live the one you already have.
Fearlessness isn’t the absence of fear. It’s the confidence that you can stay present, even when things get difficult.
