Episode 11: On Olive Oil and Learning to Listen to your Heart


Episode 012 : Courage is our Superpower

Fear is a powerful force in all of our lives. We need the awareness so we don't fall of the edge of things or step out into traffic. Fear is helpful, when it comes to our survival but it should not be running our lives.

Too many people are afraid to push out of their so called "comfort zone" for fear of failure (or success) or because they're afraid of what other people will think if they do.

Courage is the superpower that we all have an endless supply of....courage helps us manage fear, helps propel us forward and keeps life interesting.

In Her Books

Kathie helps us unpack the idea of fear as a dominant force in our lives

and emboldens us to use eight principles, including gratitude, courage, forgiveness and healthy boundaries as our superpowers, to support us in living.
