Ep.1/ bravery
I think trying to attain bravery is a practice. Akin to meditating, Or anything else it seems so deadly hard in the beginning but gets easier as time goes on.
LISTEN NOW
For anyone that’s ever been tempted to play small or hide in the background the following won’t come as a shock that fear counteracts growth. It Smothers dreams and stifles expansion. Fear in all of its forms is like a corset or a vice, squeezing the daring and the hope tight until you yield.
But we can become resilient to its attack. we may still be afraid and hesitate but if we are willing to play even 10% bigger than we have in the past we’re in a better place and if each time we get a little more bold and perhaps even approach the situation in a different way or with a friend or with a “fuck it” attitude we WILL find it gets easier.
There is an interlocking relationship between Bravery and Fear
They can be teased apart, but will stitch back together like thorny overgrown brambles if not attended to.
Fear is complex, and sneaky. It’s insidious and it gets in deep. It can manifest in your body as anxiety, or greed- a fear of lack, or not having enough power, a fear you’ll be caught destitute, alone, helpless - there are many forms or fear. And many faces of bravery.
So I have had my fair share of fear. And it has either stopped or put on hold a LOT of things I have wanted to do.

I think if you listen to the episode you will find a bit of yourself here too, and leave with some framework for leaving fear in its place.
