Yes You Are Brave
114 episodes - English - Latest episode: 2 months ago - ★★★★★ - 9 ratingsThis is a place to rediscover your brave. We are all brave, but most of us have forgotten that. We spend our time and effort hiding behind excuses and labels. Most that we give ourselves. We will cover internal topics/struggles as well as big events outside of our control. And how we pick ourselves up and learn to be brave again after life knocks us flat. (I learned to be brave and when cancer took my dad I felt I lost it all.) Now I am setting off on a journey to be the brave person I have always wanted to be. Come with me as we take little steps to be brave and build the lives we want. Especially when things don‘t go according to plan.

June 08, 2022 06:05 - 19 minutes - 17.2 MBLet’s talk sleep. More specifically, what we are giving up by not sleeping. Because it is important, no matter what people claim.

027.Brave Enough to Look Up and Be Part of the Solution
May 04, 2022 06:04 - 14 minutes - 12.8 MBIf you are on a hike, where is your focus? If you are like many people, myself included, it is on where you are placing your feet.

Do we get done and miss all the beautiful scenery? I hope not. Metaphorically and litera...
026. Brave Enough to Redefine Failure and Fall Forward

And it is extremely easy to think of falling as failing. But what if the two are not the same. What if falling was just another way of moving you forward? ----more---- There is no getting around falling. But falling is only failing when we choose to not get up.

014. Brave Enough to Love Yourself
February 02, 2022 07:01 - 13 minutes - 11.6 MBWelcome to the month of LOVE! I say that with a bit of sarcasm. Many people don’t love the love month.
