A Message from Margie:
I’m so glad you’ve landed on this page. With all that’s going on in the world right now, it’s easy to rationalize holding back, sticking with the known, and letting fear of what you don’t want keep you from taking action toward what you do want.
Yet cultivating your capacity for brave action is key to what you most want in every area of your life. While my passion for helping people overcome their fear and unlock their potential has driven much of my career, it’s been the experiences of the last five years compelled me to write this book.
Of course, I hope you’ll read it (or listen on Audible!). But more so, I hope it will empower you to close the gap between who you are and who you can be. Because right now, the world needs your courage, not perfection.
