I had so much fun chatting with Heather Vickery, author of ๐ ๐*๐๐ ๐๐๐๐ง๐ก๐๐จ๐จ: ๐๐๐ ๐๐ฃ๐ ๐ฉ๐๐ ๐ฝ๐ง๐๐ซ๐ ๐๐๐๐ฅ ๐
Having fear isnโt the issue, says Heather. After all, fear is what protects us from real danger. But if we can break down our fears and question which ones serve us (or donโt ๐), we can learn to push through and reach our goals.
Itโs all about taking ๐๐ฃ๐ฉ๐๐ฃ๐ฉ๐๐ค๐ฃ๐๐ก risk.
In this episode, Heather explains her BRAVE framework and how to use it as a trusty roadmap to reach our big, scary goals.
BRAVE stands for:
๐oundaries
๐ฅeassessment, reframing, resilience,
๐ction and accountability
๐ฉulnerability
โฆwhich all lead toโฆ๐ฅโฆ
๐xpansion and empowerment (our results)!
Rarely do amazing things happen to us due entirely to luck. Itโs more about how we (bravely!) show up in the world so we can create the thing that we want.
My conversation with Heather reminded me of my favorite quote from Seneca:

So grab your cup of coffee or teaโฆor your walking shoesโฆand hear what Heather has to say about embracing fear and stepping out with bravery.
