Have you ever wondered if turning 40 could actually be the beginning of your most authentic chapter yet?For generations, women have been handed a script: get married, have children, build a career, stay youthful, and somehow do it all on a prescribed timeline. But what happens when you decide to write your own story instead?In this episode of The Art of Badassery, I sit down with multimedia journalist and author Stacy Lindsay to discuss her book, Being 40: The Decade of Letting Go and Embracing Who We Are. We explore why so many women are finding greater freedom, confidence, and clarity in their 40s by releasing expectations around aging, success, relationships, and identity.Stacy shares her own journey through a challenging period while writing the book, along with insights on unlearning shame, embracing change, and navigating the realities of perimenopause and hormonal shifts. This conversation is a powerful reminder that getting older isn't about becoming less—it's about becoming more of who you truly are.Connect with Stacey Lindsay:Instagram - https://www.instagram.com/staceylindsayWebsite - https://www.staceylindsay.com/Book Being 40 - https://www.staceylindsay.com/book

Have you ever wished your partner truly “got it” when perimenopause, mental load, and everyday stress hit?In this episode, I welcome Matt Hyams as the first male guest in Art of Badassery history, a comedian whose perimenopause videos went viral by helping women feel seen through humor, empathy, and honest communication. Matt shares how a “Tips for Men Whose Wives Are Going Through Perimenopause” video unexpectedly exploded into millions of views, how reposting and following “cosmic breadcrumbs” led to more viral wife-themed content (including Mel Robbins reposting one), and why reading comments has shown him the deeper impact. We talk about common partner mistakes, the need for patience and self-awareness, and what's next for Matt, including a podcast with his wife, Nicole, tentatively titled “Whatever, It's Fine.” Connect with Matt Hyams:Instagram- https://www.instagram.com/matthyamsLinkedIn - https://www.linkedin.com/in/matt-hyams/

Today we are revisiting episode 27 with an incredible tale of survival! Mary Vincent survived something so horrifying that most of us couldn't even conjure it up in our nightmares. Her attacker, Lawrence Singleton, could have never imagined that Mary would walk away from where he left her to die in a canyon as a symbol of strength and resilience in the face of insurmountable odds. This is a story of survival, but also one of a justice system that is in desperate need of fixing.RESOURCEShttps://www.latimes.com/archives/la-xpm-1988-08-01-vw-4970-story.htmlhttps://morbidology.com/left-for-dead-mary-vincent/https://www.seattlepi.com/news/article/A-victim-a-survivor-an-artist-1106335.phphttps://www.sfgate.com/news/article/Lawrence-Singleton-despised-rapist-dies-He-2886703.php Cowritten by Alaina Urquhart, Ash Kelley & Dave White (Since 10/2022)Produced & Edited by Mikie Sirois (Since 2023)Research by Dave White (Since 10/2022), Alaina Urquhart & Ash KelleyListener Correspondence & Collaboration by Debra LallyListener Tale Video Edited by Aidan McElman (Since 6/2025) Hosted by Simplecast, an AdsWizz company.

What if the most powerful safety tool you have is the one you already carry…your intuition?On this episode of The Art of Badassery, Jenn Cassetta returns while editing her upcoming book, Secrets of a Sensei (releasing February 2027), for a powerful conversation about women's safety, awareness, and reclaiming calm, confident power.Jenn dives into the difficult reality that most assaults against women are committed by someone they know, often inside the home, referencing the shocking Gisèle Pelicot case and recent investigations into online networks where men share tactics involving drugging and assault. She also explores the connection between women's safety, bodily autonomy, and the importance of using your voice, including at the ballot box.But this conversation is ultimately about empowerment, not fear. Jenn shares practical tools to help women move through the world with greater confidence, including her “Sensei Scan” practice: one breath, one 360 scan, one right action. She explains how to strengthen intuition, increase situational awareness, and develop a grounded sense of personal power. You'll also hear practical recommendations for self-defense resources, safety apps, and wearable tools like InvisiWear jewelry.This episode is a reminder that awareness is not paranoia: it's preparation, presence, and power.Links Mentioned:InvisWear - use this link for a discount https://invisawear.com/?growi=jenn399Episode 02: Not Today Moth******er!

Jill Potter has lived through more than most. She's a former USA Rugby player. A business owner. A fighter.She grew up with very little. She broke her neck playing the sport she loved. Got diagnosed with a rare cancer while training for a World Cup. And she still kept showing up.In this episode, we talk about what resilience looks like, her career, the hard times, the cancer diagnosis, and the future. We also talk about how her life and identity have shifted, what matters to her now, and how she's building community in this next chapter (shoutout to Helm Coffee).She's strong, yes. But more than that — she's real, grounded, and fully present in a way that makes you stop and think about how you're living your own life.Helm Coffee

In this special LIVE bonus episode, we took Badassery Life out of the studio and onto the stage at The Phoenix Theatre Company following a performance of Wasabia — a show that takes on life, death, and everything in between with honesty, humor, and heart.We sat down with cast members Jen Johansen, Jan Lucas, and Artistic Director Constance Macy for a conversation that went deeper than expected.We talked about the themes behind the show, the vulnerability it takes to bring stories like this to life, and the realities actors face—on stage and behind the scenes.It's raw. It's real. It sometimes hit a little too close to home. There are moments that will make you laugh—and some that might make you cry.There's something different about doing this LIVE — the energy, the honesty, the connection. WE LOVED IT!We learned a lot from this interview. We think you will too.Resources from the show:www.phoenixtheatre.orgJoy's House - Joy's HouseFollow us on social media: Facebook @BadasseryLife and Instagram @Badassery_Life

Together, we explore the complex history of U.S. gynecology, disparities in care for Black women, and real-life examples of gaslighting, including delayed endometriosis diagnoses.We also dive into navigating perimenopause and menopause, and discuss practical ways to protect yourself in medical settings like requesting a chaperone or declining an exam if something doesn't feel right.This conversation is both eye-opening and empowering, leaving you with the knowledge and confidence to trust your body and demand the care you deserve.Connect with Nikki Sapiro VinckierWebsite - https://www.nikkivinck.com/Instagram - https://www.instagram.com/nikkivinckBook - We Deserve More - https://www.nikkivinck.com/wedeservemoreEpisodes MentionedEp. 59: Have No Fear - Explore Death and Dying with Hospice Nurse Julie - https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/59-have-no-fear-exploring-death-and-dying-with/id1692809626?i=1000755909660Ep. 58: Unraveling Patriarchy with Anna Malaika Tubbs - https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/58-unraveling-patriarchy-with-anna-malaika-tubbs-a/id1692809626?i=1000753032394Ep. 56: The New Rules of Women's Health with Meghan Rabbit -https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/56-the-new-rules-of-womens-health-with-meghan/id1692809626?i=1000748006819

If you've ever talked yourself out of your own potential, dismissed your progress because it didn't look impressive enough, or just needed someone to remind you that hard days don't have to become hard lives, this episode is for you.More info, resources & ways to connect - https://www.tacosfallapart.com/podcast-live-show/podcast-guests/sheri-arcuriaSheri Arcuria didn't set out to build a movement. She started with a blog, a body she was trying to save and a whole lot of stubbornness. On this episode of Even Tacos Fall Apart, she sat down to talk about what badassery actually looks like in real life... and it's not what most people think.Sheri is the author of two books, Unzipped and Blindsided, and the creator of MOBA (Master of Badassery), an apparel and community brand that has grown into something way bigger than t-shirts. But before any of that, she was a 32-year-old woman sitting in a doctor's office being told she would have diabetes for the rest of her life. The doctor handed her a stack of prescriptions. Sheri handed them back.What followed was six months of walking every day, cleaning up her diet and tracking everything. When she went back for her follow-up and every single marker had normalized, she was, in her words, "smug as shit." That moment cracked something open in her. It stopped being about a number on a scale and started being about what she was actually capable of.The first book came out of spite too, if we're being honest. Her husband finally called her out after years of her saying she should write about her bariatric surgery journey. She stormed into the office, sat down at a blank screen and didn't stop typing for five days straight. Wrist guards and all.But this conversation goes well beyond weight loss. Sheri talks about what it means to be a badass when you're dealing with chronic pain, anxiety or a life that looks nothing like you planned. Her take is straightforward: badassery is an attitude, not a destination. It's doing whatever is in front of you with purpose, even on the days when that thing is just getting out of bed and taking a shower. The goal posts move. The journey doesn't end. That's the whole point.She also gets into the emotional roots underneath physical struggles, the way we mow over our problems instead of pulling the weeds, the damage that comes from holding everything in until your body stages a full revolt and the very specific kind of freedom that comes from finally finding your voice in a relationship or a doctor's office or anywhere else you've been quietly swallowing things down.The MOBA community grew out of a TikTok live where people just wanted to plank together every morning. Now it's a Discord full of people cheering each other on through workouts, hard days and everything in between.Sheri is also a certified mindset coach and is finishing up certifications in personal training and nutrition. She takes DMs. She writes handwritten cards with every single order. She has not forgotten where she started.This one is worth your time.

What is dying really like—and could understanding it help us live more fully?In this episode of The Art of Badassery, I'm joined by Julie McFadden—better known as Hospice Nurse Julie. A former ICU nurse turned hospice educator, Julie has helped millions rethink what the end of life actually looks like. Her honest and compassionate approach to talking about death has made her a trusted voice online and led to her New York Times bestselling book, Nothing to Fear.Julie shares how her TikTok unexpectedly exploded, leading to major media coverage and a book deal. More importantly, she explains what she's learned from thousands of patients about the natural dying process—and why it's often far more peaceful than people imagine.We talk about:What actually happens in the body during a natural deathWhy people often lose hunger and thirst at the end of lifeCommon end-of-life regrets people sharePractical ways to prepare, from advance directives to organizing important informationThis conversation is thoughtful, eye-opening, and surprisingly empowering. By understanding death a little better, we can learn how to live—and love—the time we have.Connect with Julie McFaddenWebsite - https://www.hospicenursejulie.com/Instagram - https://www.instagram.com/hospicenursejulie/Book - Have No Fear https://www.hospicenursejulie.com/book

Life doesn't always go the way we planned....Sometimes the path completely changes—and we're left figuring out who we are on the other side....In this Flashback episode of Ordinary to Badass, I sit down with Michelle Lauren Anderson, a burn survivor who experienced burns over 91% of her body at just two years old. ...What followed was a lifetime of surgeries, physical challenges, and emotional healing—but also a powerful journey of reclaiming her story.Michelle shares how surviving trauma shaped her perspective on strength, identity, and resilience—and why being “tough” isn't always the same thing as being strong....This conversation dives into what it really looks like to move from surviving… to thriving.✨ Theme: Resilience StoriesIn this episode we talk about:

This week on The Found Podcast, I'm joined by Danielle Letayf — founder of Badassery, personal brand strategist, podcast guesting expert, and the perfect woman to help us kick off our Women's History Month interview series. Danielle helps thoughtful executives, authors, and experts turn their stories into something unforgettable. But in this conversation, we go far deeper than personal branding and podcast pitches. We talk about what it really looks like to build a business as a woman, how comparison can keep us stuck, why your path does not have to look like anyone else's, and how some of the greatest wisdom we gain comes from the pivots, mistakes, and messy middle moments we'd rather skip. Danielle shares how her entrepreneurial mindset was shaped by her immigrant family, how her first business evolved through multiple versions, and why slowing down became one of the most important lessons in her growth as a founder. We also dig into what makes someone a strong podcast guest, how to start refining your story, and why community matters so much when you're building something brave. This episode is full of practical insight, honest reflection, and the kind of encouragement ambitious women need when they're building something meaningful in a way that actually fits their life. What You'll Hear in This Episode How Danielle's immigrant family shaped her entrepreneurial mindset The "why not me?" question that helped her start building Why women don't have to take giant, dramatic risks to make bold moves How comparison can distract founders from their own unique path What Danielle learned from pivoting her business after hard seasons Why going slower can actually create more stability and success What makes someone a compelling podcast guest How to begin refining your story and personal brand Why layering your interests and lived experience makes your story stronger Danielle's thoughts on community, support, and resilience as a founder Resources & Links Danielle Letayf on LinkedIn Badassery HQ Dreamers & Doers

Have you ever wondered why women's stories keep disappearing from history—and what that means for our lives today?In this episode of The Art of Badassery podcast, I talk with two-time New York Times bestselling author and sociologist Anna Malaika Tubbs about her book Erased: What American Patriarchy Has Hidden From Us and how patriarchy was intentionally designed into the United States' founding structures to keep power with white elite men through rights like land ownership and voting. Anna shares how her global, nomadic upbringing shaped her belief that change is possible, and she opens up about personal hardships, including losing her mother at 29 and facing sexism, racism, and ageism in the spotlight as her husband rose in politics. We discuss how American history is a constant tug-of-war between those defending the original social order and those fighting for a real democracy, why Black women have been central to recognizing the system as constructed, why some women still defend patriarchy through proximity to power, and what it looks like to stay spiritually grounded while taking action.

You made it.Day 12 of the 12 Days of Badassery....And today, we're ending with the truth you've proven over and over again…...you are a woman who overcomes adversity....In this final episode, Marie walks you through the deepest layer of your confidence: the hardships, losses, trauma, challenges, and long seasons of struggle that shaped who you are today. Adversity leaves a mark — not a weakness, but a ring of growth, like the rings of a tree that tell the story of every storm it survived. ...Inside this episode, you'll reflect on:✨ The life-altering challenges you've lived through✨ How you navigated long-term struggle and kept going✨ The setbacks you bounced back from — even when it didn't feel like strength in the moment✨ The moments where criticism, doubt, or failure pushed you to rise✨ The times you endured heartbreak, loss, or major transitions✨ The seasons where you surprised yourself with your resilience...Marie guides you through powerful journal prompts to help you identify the adversity you've already overcome: breakups, financial stress, health challenges, navigating grief, family struggles, friendship loss, heavy emotional seasons, and the difficult chapters that changed you....Because these aren't just memories — they're proof. Proof of your endurance. Proof of your courage. Proof of your badassery. ...As Marie says in the episode:...“You've been through some hard stuff. And here you are.”...Today, you bring it all together — the fear you faced, the resilience you built, the expectations you defied, the growth you earned, the boundaries you set, the kindness you gave, and now… the adversity you survived.

Welcome to Day 11 of the 12 Days of Badassery, and today we're celebrating a strength most women massively underestimate:...Your ability to encourage, support, and lift other people up....You may not realize it, but your words, your belief in others, and your willingness to cheer someone on can change the entire direction of their life. And that is pure, undeniable badassery....In this episode, Marie explores the quiet, powerful ways you've already impacted people — from coworkers you've uplifted, to friends you've supported through hard times, to moments when you saw strength in someone before they saw it in themselves....She also shares her own story of becoming a detective sergeant only because others believed in her before she fully believed in herself. ...Inside today's reflection, you'll explore:✨ Moments you encouraged someone who doubted themselves✨ Times you reassured a friend, coworker, or family member✨ How your support created a ripple effect you may never fully see✨ When your belief in someone gave them the courage to rise✨ Why helping others is one of the fastest ways to get out of your own head...We also talk about the myth of competition among women — especially at work — and why lifting others up doesn't diminish you; it strengthens you, your community, and your confidence. Encouragement isn't small. It's leadership. It's connection.

Welcome to Day 10 of the 12 Days of Badassery — and this one goes deep....Today, we're naming the hard things....Not to relive them… but to finally honor the strength they built in you....In this episode, Marie guides you through the challenging moments of your life — the seasons of stress, uncertainty, grief, financial pressure, breakups, parenting struggles, job loss, and the moments you didn't think you'd get through… but did....Because the truth is:if you're here listening today, you already survived things past-you didn't think were possible. Inside this episode, you'll explore:✨ The difficult chapters you downplayed or forgot✨ How struggle refined your grit, courage, and emotional strength✨ Why looking back at hard seasons gives you future confidence✨ The lessons each challenge taught you✨ The power of asking for help instead of muscling through✨ How breakthroughs often come after the breakdownMarie shares her own story of training for her first marathon — a challenge so overwhelming she cried during her long run, questioned everything, and almost quit. Yet pushing through that season taught her she was far stronger than she believed… and that asking for support is sometimes the bravest move you can make. ...That's the heart of today's work:Your hardest moments shaped you. Your pain taught you. Your challenges built you....It's time to acknowledge them — not with shame, but with pride....Use today's prompt inside the Proof of My Badassery journal to list the moments where life tested you… and you rose anyway....These are not “just stories.”...They are proof that you are resilient, powerful, and prepared for whatever comes next.

Welcome to Day 9 of the 12 Days of Badassery, and today we're celebrating one of your most underrated strengths:your ability to navigate change....You might not think of yourself as someone who “handles change well,” but your life tells a different story. Every shift, every pivot, every unexpected plot twist you've made it through?...That's resilience. That's adaptability. That's badassery.In today's episode, Marie walks you through moments you've already lived—moments that prove just how powerful your ability to adjust, grow, and keep going really is....From living through a global pandemic to handling personal upheavals, breakups, job changes, and those “I didn't choose this, but here we go” seasons… you did it. And that counts. A lot. ...Inside this episode, you'll reflect on:✨ Times you embraced change even when it felt impossible✨ When you focused on what you could control and let the rest go✨ Moments you broke big problems into small, doable steps✨ Seasons where change was forced on you — and you still adapted✨ How taking action (even tiny action) moved you forward✨ The unexpected ways change shaped your confidence, flexibility, and strength...From navigating COVID (something even your grandparents never experienced) to stepping into new chapters in your personal and professional life, you've lived through a level of transformation most people never recognize in themselves....Today, you finally acknowledge it....Your Proof of My Badassery journal prompt will guide you to write down these moments so you can see the pattern:every time life shifted, you rose.

Welcome to Day 8 of the 12 Days of Badassery, where we're diving into the one practice women put off the longest — and need the most:self-love....This episode is your reminder that self-love isn't indulgent, selfish, or soft....It's strength....It's fuel....And it's the foundation of every bold, confident move you make....Today, Marie explores the moments — big and tiny — where you've cared for yourself, honored yourself, invested in your healing, or simply given yourself a breath of grace. Whether it was therapy, a walk, setting a boundary, saying “I need a minute,” or whispering a kinder thought to yourself, these moments are proof of how deeply you're growing. ...Inside this episode, you'll reflect on:✨ The ways you've chosen yourself even when it felt uncomfortable✨ How a little self-love can completely shift your confidence✨ Why slowing down helps you lead stronger✨ The small acts of kindness that add up to massive internal change✨ Marie's personal stories—from Weight Watchers to hot yoga intentions to becoming the unexpected dog-mom with a stroller (all because… love changes you) You'll also hear how one intention — “I love myself” — transformed an entire yoga class and became a new rule for how Marie speaks to herself every day....Today's journal work inside the Proof of My Badassery companion guide invites you to document the moments where you've shown up for yourself, supported yourself, and chosen to treat yourself with compassion. Because self-love isn't just healing…...it's badass.

Welcome to Day 7 of the 12 Days of Badassery, where we dig into one of the biggest sources of your confidence…the obstacles you've already overcome....And here's the thing:...Most women think obstacles have to be huge, dramatic, life-shattering events to “count.”...But the truth?...Your power was built in the micro-moments — the small, everyday challenges you pushed through even when they felt overwhelming....Today, we look at:✨ The obstacles you've faced at work, in relationships, and in your personal goals✨ The mindset shifts and strategies you used to get through them (even if you didn't realize it at the time)✨ How challenges reveal strengths you don't see until you're on the other side✨ Why “overwhelmed → action → clarity” is one of your signature badass cycles✨ How a single boundary-setting email Marie sent changed the course of her confidence forever From the moments that felt impossible…...to the ones that simply annoyed you into standing up for yourself (looking at you, condescending contractor

Welcome to Day 6 of the 12 Days of Badassery, where we shine a light on something you do far more often than you realize:...turning setbacks into comebacks....In this episode, we walk through the real moments—your moments—where things didn't go as planned… and you rose anyway. Whether it was a failed promotion attempt, a mistake you corrected, a confidence hit you worked through, or a season where you had to ask for help, these are the moments that built your resilience....And resilience? That's pure badassery....Based on the prompts inside your Proof of My Badassery journal, we explore:...

If stepping out of your comfort zone has ever felt more like panic than power… this episode is your permission slip to stop judging yourself and start celebrating yourself....On Day 5 of the 12 Days of Badassery, we're digging into the moments you stretched, cracked, reached, trembled, and DID IT ANYWAY. Even when it didn't look “bold.” Even when it didn't feel like success....Because that is the real badassery most women overlook. ...Inside the episode, we get into:✨ Why feeling scared doesn't cancel out being brave✨ How to stop measuring your worth by outcomes✨ The power of micro-stretches—your ‘toe over the edge' moments (thanks to Dr. Mike Bechtle's wisdom) ✨ Real-life examples of pushing past doubt—at work, at home, and in your growth...You'll also hear Marie share stories about applying for a chief position she didn't get, learning to ride a bike with bruised-up legs, and why staying in the “kiddie pool” of life keeps you from ever floating on your back in the deep end.....Every single one is a reminder: you don't have to feel fearless to be powerful. ...By the end, you'll see your own “I did it even though…” moments in a totally different light—because they count. They deserve to be written down. And you deserve to recognize the woman who took those risks, big or small.

Today is Day 4 of the 12 Days of Badassery, and we're turning the spotlight onto something most women skip right past:your achievements — the big ones AND the tiny, easy-to-dismiss ones....In this episode, we dig into why you consistently overlook your own progress, how small victories quietly shape who you become, and why celebrating yourself is a core part of claiming your badass identity. Because the truth is, your life is held together by hundreds of moments you don't give yourself credit for. And that's about to change....You'll learn how to:

What if being a badass isn't about doing something dramatic…...but about choosing yourself in small, everyday moments?Welcome to Day 3 of the 12 Days of Badassery, where we're talking about defying expectations—both the ones society puts on you and the ones you inherited without ever questioning....In this episode, we explore how often we live by scripts we didn't consciously choose:...how we're “supposed” to spend our time, what we're “supposed” to value, and who we're “supposed” to be—especially during the holidays.And here's the truth:...Every time you say no when something doesn't align…...every time you set a boundary…...every time you choose what feels right for you instead of what keeps others comfortable…...That counts....Those moments are proof of your badassery—even if they feel small.✨ Day 3 Theme: Defying ExpectationsYou'll hear:

Think resilience means being tough, unshaken, and emotionally unaffected?...Think again....Welcome to Day 2 of the 12 Days of Badassery, where we're talking about one of the most misunderstood qualities of strength: resilience....In this episode, we explore what resilience actually looks like in real life. Not the highlight-reel version—but the kind built through loss, setbacks, heartbreak, and moments where it would've been easier to give up....Maybe you've:Lost a jobNavigated debt or financial stressGone through a breakup or divorceExperienced deep grief or loss...If you've been knocked down and found a way to keep going—even slowly—that counts....Resilience isn't about never falling apart. It's about getting back up, sometimes quietly, sometimes imperfectly, but always with courage.✨ Day 2 Theme: ResilienceYou'll hear:

Think being a badass means being fearless?...Think again....Welcome to Day 1 of the 12 Days of Badassery, where we're kicking things off by busting one of the biggest myths out there: that confidence means never feeling afraid....In this episode, we're talking about embracing fear—not avoiding it. Because the truth is, being a badass isn't about the absence of fear. It's about feeling it… and taking action anyway....Maybe it was:Speaking up when your voice shookAsking for the raise or promotionHaving a hard conversation you wanted to avoidStepping outside your comfort zone when staying quiet felt safer...Those moments matter. Even if they didn't go perfectly. Especially if they didn't....This episode is an invitation to reflect on the times you faced fear head-on—and to recognize those moments for what they really are: proof of your badassery....✨ Day 1 Theme: Embracing FearYou'll hear:

What if the biggest injustice isn't what you've been through—but that no one ever taught you to recognize how strong you are?...In this remix episode, Marie kicks off the 12 Days of Badassery by breaking down one of the biggest lies women have been sold: that being a badass means being hard, aggressive, or unyielding....Spoiler alert—it doesn't....A true badass is built through resilience, confidence, mindset, and getting back up after life knocks you down. Sometimes immediately. Sometimes after a long pause. And yes—even if it took you longer than you wanted....In this episode, you'll hear:Why most women never learned to recognize their own badasseryHow confidence gets confused with toughness (and why that's wrong)Why being knocked down doesn't disqualify you—it proves you're still in the arenaA powerful reframe that shows your strength has been hiding in plain sight all along...This episode sets the foundation for the next 12 days—each one designed to help you uncover, acknowledge, and own the badass you already are....

Self-doubt isn't the villain you've been treating it like....It's the breadcrumb trail. The flashing neon arrow....The GPS system pointing straight toward your next-level identity.Today's remix episode pulls back the curtain on why doubt shows up the moment you're about to rise — and how to use it like rocket fuel instead of letting it derail you.This series is packed with fresh 12 Days of Badassery energy:the kind that leaves you standing just a little taller, breathing a little deeper, and whispering,“Yeah… I'm still a badass, even when I'm scared.”
