Why have I chosen to share my life of Being Brave? I've been coping with my anxiety on a daily basis for decades. Anxiety has contributed to my silence, gripped my hand and led me stumbling towards a life of people pleasing, self-doubt, and fear. It’s simple: I refuse to live there any longer! Through years of strength training, falling in love, reading, listening, building my faith, and seeking help, I've been able to identify the face of my anxiety; through that process, unlocking the ability to tip-toe around it or run right through it. (If I'm being 100% honest, I usually dance with it a bit first). If, by sharing my experiences as an athlete, a personal trainer, a victim, an addict, an outcast, a child, an adult, a believer, a coward, a warrior; but most of all--if I share my innately human experience--maybe I can short track you to learn through my lessons, instead of struggling through the same battles. Experience may be the most powerful teacher, but connecting is the truest way to become the best version of ourselves; by refining and readying us for the day we are called to show up. On that day, will you revert to your protective patterns? Or, will you arrive as yourself, fearful of enduring the pain but wise enough to be aware that you have the ability to get past it?
