#142: The Brave Act of Moving Forward Even When It’s Hard

Beyond dealing with different situations in our life, we also have to face ourselves in response to the situation.

Whenever I hear others telling me that I’m brave for starting my business or showing up authentically online or sharing this weekly newsletter, I always remind them that if we recognize traits in others it means we have the ability to embody those traits ourselves.

If we notice bravery in others, it means we have bravery within us – whether or not we are choosing to fully embody it at this moment.

When we catch ourselves wishing we could be like someone else, it’s important to catch ourselves creating this divide between who they are and who we are. We are all capable of the traits we admire in others.

In relation to business and showing up online, we often have this fear of being seen in the pursuit of learning and fumbling through that process of honing our craft. We’re afraid of being seen in the raw beginning process. But even as we grow and expand in one area, we will be curious and pursuing the next creative pursuit.

Don’t let this fear hold you back from showing up. Bravery is being willing to learn something new and expanding on that time and time again. When we think of bravery, we often think about conquering a goal. But we should focus on the small daily wins, following those soft whispers in our life as much as we do the big wins.

On the episode, I cover:

How to stop giving away your power
Why kindness is the thing we need the most
Riding the waves of life

I believe so deeply in entrepreneurship, innovation, and creation, and I know that we need support and community to keep these things alive. We need places to ask questions, be heard, be inspired, get guidance and feel empowered to tackle our goals.

This is a space to come and connect, be inspired, get some perspective on what might be keeping you stuck, and get insight into what you can do moving forward.

I’m looking forward to seeing you there.

Keep being awesome.
