“Start scared. Start before you're ready.”  Lasting success rarely comes from waiting until the stars align—it comes from starting before you're ready, staying consistent, and having the courage to take messy action. The principles that create real progress aren't flashy; they're rooted in clarity about what matters most and the discipline to align daily life with those values.  In this conversation, Lan Phan opens up about her journey of transformation—shifting from chasing titles to living with purpose. She highlights the power of small daily choices, the mindset required to build resilience, and the importance of asking for opportunities instead of waiting for them. Her perspective shows that fulfillment isn't found in status but in designing a life that reflects your true priorities.  Lan Phan is the founder of Community of Seven, a global leadership strategist, keynote speaker, and author of Do This Daily. She equips leaders and entrepreneurs to align values, mindset, and habits so they can build businesses—and lives—that thrive.  Expert action steps:  1. Start before you feel ready—accept early imperfection as the price of progress.    2. Turn identity into action—set daily systems and keep them relentlessly.    3. Bet on yourself—trust your ability to figure things out when the branch shakes.    Learn more & connect:  https://www.communityofseven.com/  Lan's book, Do This Daily: Secrets to Finding Success, Happiness, and Purpose in Work and Life is available on Amazon and at Barnes & Noble.  Also in this episode:  • The 7 Habits of Highly Effective People by Stephen R.

What if the reason your business feels fragmented isn't because you're doing something wrong — but because you haven't anchored to the one thing that truly matters? In this episode of Your Truth Shared, I'm helping you find what I call your Cardinal Belief — the single, guiding truth that shapes everything you offer, teach, and build. It's more than positioning. It's your lighthouse. And when you name it, everything else begins to align. We'll talk about the resistance that comes with choosing one thing, the myth of doing more, and the kind of clarity that creates momentum, income, and impact — without burning you out. You'll also hear the transformation story of one of my SOAR clients, who went from hiding behind soft language to powerfully standing in her truth — and the difference it made in her business.

“Being brave enough to suck at sales for the next month, two months, three months, six months, year, is what's gonna have your business go from tragic to magic in the most uncommon of hours.”  Stepping into something new isn't about instant mastery—it's about embracing the messy, awkward, and uncomfortable first stages of learning. Growth happens when you push past the safety of what you know, take on challenges that stretch your skills, and keep showing up despite early failures. Progress is built on consistency, courage, and the willingness to look bad before you get good.  This is the power of “being brave enough to suck at something new,” especially when it comes to sales. Whether you're a coach, consultant, or thought leader, avoiding the discomfort of new skills keeps you stuck on the same plateau. By committing to imperfect action, embracing the “suck,” and building momentum, you can go from struggling to closing deals with confidence and mastery.  Visit https://www.eCircleAcademy.com and book a success call with Nicky to take your practice to the next level.

She's smart. She's capable. She's independent. But is she brave enough to ask for help?  In a culture that idolizes self-sufficiency and pushes girls to “be your own hero,” many daughters are quietly drowning under the weight of silent struggles—too afraid to reach out for fear of being seen as weak, too used to hearing that needing others is a flaw. But what if asking for help isn't weakness at all? What if it's wisdom?  This week on the Raising Godly Girls Podcast, co-hosts Rachael Culpepper and Melissa Bearden dive into one of the most countercultural lessons a parent can teach their daughter: how to embrace Biblical dependence. With honesty, humor, and Scripture, they unpack how girls today are wrestling with anxiety, control, and perfectionism—and how learning to ask for help might just be the freedom they've been praying for.  Drawing from Isaiah 41:10 and Galatians 6:2, this episode encourages moms to model courageous vulnerability and practical interdependence. Through personal stories, faith-based parenting tips, and a powerful RGG Minute from American Heritage Girls Founder & Executive Director Patti Garibay on the link between anxiety and control, this conversation will help you identify where your daughter needs support—and how you can help her ask for it with confidence.  In this episode, you'll learn:  How to normalize asking for help in everyday moments with your daughter  Practical ways to teach her to discern what's hers to carry—and what belongs in God's hands  Why modeling your own dependence on God and community is essential in her discipleship  How AHG equips girls to grow through mentorship, community, and Christ-centered leadership  Scriptures Referenced:  Isaiah 41:10 – “I will strengthen you and help you…”  Galatians 6:2 – “Carry each other's burdens…”  James 1:5 – “If any of you lacks wisdom, let him ask God…”  When your daughter learns that strength isn't found in doing it all alone—but in leaning on Christ and His people—she will walk through life with resilience, grace, and godly wisdom. So let's model that truth boldly. Let's raise girls who are strong enough to admit when they're not okay, wise enough to ask for help, and faithful enough to believe that God will answer.  Explore more resources to raise girls rooted in Christ at raisinggodlygirls.com.   To find or start an AHG Troop in your area, visit americanheritagegirls.org.

Morning Mantra: “Be brave enough to suck at something new.”Every once in awhile I set myself up for failure. For embarrassment. For defeat. Because every now and then I try something new. Something I've never done before. But I am willing to pay the price of learning to gain a new skill or experience.Every expert was once a beginner and if they never tried because they were afraid they would fail, well, we would have no one to learn from! No one would have ever created beautiful masterpieces. No one would have invented life-saving techniques. No one would have added that special ingredient to new recipes. No one would have had the opportunity to learn from their mistakes.Life is ABOUT taking chances, trying new things, learning. It's okay to try and to suck at it. The real mistake is to never try anything new for fear of it.#BeWillingToSuckAtSomethingNew #HorseHippie #MorningMantra #inspirationalQuotes #MorningMotivation #Equestrian #HorseLover #QuotesToInspire #HorseHippieBrand #HorseHippieBoutique

Hey mama, Today's episode is a little heart-to-heart, inspired by one of you. A listener reached out and saying she's struggling with making friends as a working mom... and it hit me deep. So we're diving all the way in this week! Let's be real…making friends as a grown woman is just plain awkward. It's not like when we were little and you could walk up on the playground and say, “Wanna be friends?” and that was that. Now it takes courage, intentionality, and a whole lot of emotional energy we don't always have left at the end of a long day.  In this episode, I'm sharing a quote that really hit me: 
“Friendships in adulthood don't happen by accident. They happen because someone was brave enough to go first.” — Danielle Bayard Jackson Most of us are walking around hoping someone will reach out, invite us, start the conversation… while we sit quietly convincing ourselves that we'd be bothering someone if we did. But mama…what if you were the one who went first? Here's what you'll hear: • Why friendship feels harder as a working mom • The biggest myths about adult friendships • How I got out of my own way and started connecting with other moms • A mindset shift if you've been feeling too “busy” or “late” to make new friends • A simple challenge to help you build real connection this week

In this empowering episode of Healthy Mind, Healthy Life, host Avik welcomes Bernice McDonald, coach, speaker, and author of Brave Enough to Be Myself. Together, they explore the often-unspoken fears that hold us back from becoming who we truly are. Bernice shares insights from her transformative book, highlighting the concept of taking “tiny brave steps” and the power of befriending fear. She introduces listeners to the "hot air balloon" perspective—a way to rise above life's struggles and see the bigger picture—and the idea of embracing our "strange jewels," the unique gifts we often hide. This soulful conversation is a gentle yet powerful reminder that courage is about showing up every day, one small step at a time.   About the Guest:Bernice McDonald is a transformational coach, speaker, and author passionate about helping women in the second half of life rediscover their courage and self-worth. With over two decades of coaching experience, she guides women through life's hardest challenges, one tiny brave step at a time. Her book Brave Enough to Be Myself is the first in her Little Books of Courage series, offering a four-week journey from self-doubt to self-acceptance.   Key Takeaways: Courage is built on small, consistent actions, not grand gestures. Fear can be befriended, not battled—Bernice calls hers “Fred.” The “hot air balloon” perspective helps you rise above immediate struggles and view your life journey with clarity. “Strange jewels” are the unique traits we hide but can become our greatest strengths. Self-compassion is essential in balancing bravery without adding pressure to “fix” yourself.   Connect with Bernice McDonald:Website: bernicemcdonald.comEmail: bernice@bernicemcdonald.comLinkedIn: Bernice McDonaldFacebook: Bernice McDonald   Want to be a guest on Healthy Mind, Healthy Life?

Original Air Date: December 4, 2017 The New York Times best-selling author Cheryl Strayed talks to Oprah about her book "Brave Enough," a collection of her own quotes, which Cheryl describes as a "mini instruction manual for the soul."

As we wind down the final episodes of Where Is My Mind, we couldn't go without one last visit to your favourite segment: The Therapy Room.In this special episode, Niall is joined once again by long-time friends of the podcast and two of Ireland's top psychologists, Louize Carroll and Dr. Tony Bates. Since The Therapy Room began, we've explored some of the most important themes that therapists encounter in their work — and today, Louize and Tony reflect on the biggest lessons they've learned over the years.They speak to the profound bravery in vulnerability, and the deep honour of witnessing someone step fully into themselves — beyond the weight of internal and external expectations. They also touch on the importance of balancing the individual story with the broader context, and why we need to reevaluate how we see those who are experiencing pain or deemed ‘crazy'. Louize and Tony both finish by reading passages from some of their favourite literature, and share their hope that people never give up on themselves.This episode discusses some sensitive topics, please take care when listening.
