Emboldening people to live bigger, braver lives. Wearing many hats -author, speaker, podcaster... - but none more prized than mum of 4 #trainthebrave

Woke up this morning pinching myself. Am I really Woke up this morning pinching myself. Am I really in Colorado’s Rockies? Yep, I am. Don’t think I’ve ever felt more grateful for the gift of travel - or chance to hug my kids and hike some mountains. In the midst of this pandemic, I know travel is not an option or holds no appeal for many, particularly not international travel. However once Ben landed his visa to start college in Boston and friends generously offered us their vacation home, it felt so right to book our flights.  So here we are, with two kids and two to come. Feeling so very very blessed.  For travel. For family.  For friends. FOR LIFE! (See my story for pics from our long journey here from Singapore).
#womensupportingwomen Challenge accepted @tina_tow #womensupportingwomen Challenge accepted @tina_tower @jacquicooperski - thank you for nominating me.  Thank you also to the many strong, smart, kind and Brave hearted  women who have supported me throughout the years. Together we can rise stronger than we ever can alone. Tina and Jacqui - Because I was a little slow accepting this challenge for both your nominations, I’m posting two B+W images. 🙂

Fear is wired into our psychological DNA to protec Fear is wired into our psychological DNA to protect us from harm. Yet left unchecked, it can highjack our decision making and keep us from taking the very actions that would serve our highest good - individually and collectively. 

Given today’s climate of fear, we must be extra vigilant to discern between those fears which are serving us from those which are stifling us.  Those which cap creativity, constrict vision, fuel siloed thinking, and drive us to play it too safe, making overly risk averse, short-sighted decisions. 

So don’t dwell on what scares you.  Rather dwell on what inspires you.  Then take action toward it. Any action. 

This is a time for courage, not timidity; for action, not indecision.  As Florence Nightingale once said, very little can be done under the spirit of fear. 

What would you do this week if you were being courageous - in your work, conversations, leadership and your life?

Go on, be brave!
