About Nothing to Fear with Emily Sullivan and Jess Scheer
Welcome to Nothing to Fear with friends Jess Scheer and Emily Sullivan. After a decade of voice-noting through every season of life & living very different life paths — one single & nomadic, one landing in a home and raising a family, both building intentional businesses — we’re talking about the realness of meeting fear head-on, not letting it steer your choices, and stepping boldly into your soul’s unique path. Through intimate stories, transformations, and the quiet magic of listening to life, we share what happens when you trust life’s curriculum instead of trying to control it.
Pivoting in Real Time: Letting Go of What We Thought We Were Building
What happens when you build something, launch it, and then life shows you it's time to let it go? Emily and Jess share the real-time unfolding of their "Meet the Moment" circles — two calls, one big pivot, and a lot of honest conversation about co-creation, flow vs. force, and what the new business paradigm actually looks like in practice. This episode is a living example of meeting the moment as it is, not as you planned it to be.

Building a New Business: The Story of Zero Degrees
In this episode, we share the story behind Zero Degrees, how it came to life, what the journey has actually looked like, and why we didn’t follow a traditional path to build it.
What started as a podcast and a feeling turned into something much bigger — a business, a collaboration, and a reflection of the deeper shift we’ve both been moving through.
We talk about:
• building a business without forcing a plan
• trusting timing and letting things unfold
• the difference between strategy and alignment
• creating from the inside-out instead of external pressure
This is a conversation about business, but more than that, it’s about listening to life and allowing something real to emerge.

Why I Took a Step Back from My Work : Solo Episode with Emily Sullivan
The last 4 years have been full of changes in my work that have brought up fear around money and self-worth. Meeting those fears and leaning into them has brought about huge epiphanies around trusting life, letting go of identity and opening to life's journey for me as it shows me my path to freedom around work and money.
Stories are one of the ways I've supported myself in this process of meeting these fears in my mind and I wanted to share my story in hopes it can support someone else.
Join me in my real-life moment on a calm Saturday where I found time to sneak away and record this story for you while my daughter played happily and my son and husband worked on a new creation in the workshop.

The Real Cost of a Year Off: My Sabbatical Breakdown
Part 2 of our Money Series
In this deeply personal continuation of our money conversation, Jess opens up about the question she’s been asked for the last eight years: “How are you affording this life?” …from long-term travel …to years of living abroad …to a full sabbatical she never technically planned for.
For the first time, Jess shares the real numbers and the real backstory — not just of the last year, but of the 13-year journey that shaped her relationship with money.
This episode moves between the practical and the mystical: rent costs, Ubers, business income, credit card points, taxes, investments… and the soul-led moments, identity deaths, dissolutions, and intuitive pivots that shaped every financial decision along the way.
Come sit with us in the realness. There’s Nothing To Fear here.

Nothing to Fear in Facing Medical Bills & Bankruptcy
Money is one of the most powerful forces on the planet and one of the most taboo topics to talk about. That’s exactly why we want to dive into this topic honestly and with transparency. In this episode, Emily shares the raw story of receiving a $275K hospital bill just 1 month after the birth and passing of her second child, Ecko. She walks through the emotional, practical, spiritual, and energetic process of navigating one of the most destabilizing financial realities a family can face — and the surprising way it all resolved.
Stay tuned for Part Two of this conversation next week, where Jess shares the real numbers, choices, and values behind how she prepared for & funded her sabbatical year.
This is the season of bringing things into the light.There’s nothing to fear.

My sabbatical: closing business, making space & trusting life
In today’s episode, Jess shares the story of what really unfolded during her year-long sabbatical, the endings, the letting go, the quiet reorientations that only come when you get quiet and listen to what life is trying to communicate.
Together Emily and Jess revisit the inner and outer journey that began with leaving Ecuador, closing long-running programs, and pausing social media - and unfolded into a deep season of trust, simplicity, and rediscovery. Jess opens up about shifting her relationship to work, identity, family, and freedom, the dance between devotion and detachment, and the surprising gifts that arrived when she finally surrendered to the whispers of life.
This isn’t a highlight reel. it’s a real-time reflection on what it means to listen, to release what’s complete, and to find your rhythm again when there’s no map.
If you’ve ever felt yourself in the in-between — closing a chapter, craving space, or wondering what comes next, this conversation is a mirror, a permission slip, and a gentle reminder: you can trust the subtle clues of life.
