Welcome to my “2018 Listener Favorites” Series!
This August, I’m delighted to bring you the top four, most downloaded episodes of the 31 shows we’ve published since the start of the podcast (January 4, 2018).
Today’s show was the inaugural episode, and in it, I share my deeply personal story about how I embarked on “Finding Brave” in my own life, and why mustering more bravery and courage is a vital endeavor for men and women around the world who want to live the highest version of themselves and reach their highest, most joyful potential.
I define #FINDINGBRAVE as this: Recognizing — and courageously leveraging — what you’re made of as a human and spiritual being, and mustering the commitment, passion and courage to draw on all that you are to create the life you dream of, through the fear and the pain.
And I offer 10 essential ways to find brave in your life, with specific tips to get moving on your brave path.
