From Not Enough To Brave Enough | You CAN Do Hard Things
Bernice McDonald, Author, Professional Coach
Brave Enough To Be Myself
30-Day Email Challenge
You know that feeling – the one where your heart whispers "yes" but fear holds you back?
Where you long to stand tall in who you are, but old stories of "not enough" keep you small?
I've been there. From standing frozen in front of my 4th-grade teacher, to leaving Fred (my fear dragon) in the car with cookies while I went whitewater rafting at 54.
From hiding my voice in a toxic marriage to dancing naked in the snow with my true love.
Each step taught me something precious: courage isn't about being fearless – it's about choosing to move forward while being afraid.
"The world doesn't need you to be perfect.
It needs you to be real."
