Summary: BSL Insider Exclusive: Kate Courageous from "Your Courageous Life" joins us on the show today. Regardless of where you're at in your life and what's going on with you, I'm sure there is one person whom you can point to and say, "that's a badass". Hopefully, it's you. If you were to look, what is the one thing that all those badasses had in common... Courage would be the answer. Courage to face their fears. Courage to release what truly doesn't serve them. Courage to let go of the bullshit (beliefs, attitudes, values, ways of being, whatever.) Courage to finally, to simply, express yourself. That's it. That is the courage you need to step into your greatness..into all the ability you need to fulfill your highest vision or purpose in the world. Kate "Courageous" Swoboda is here. Don't be scared, be courageous. Listen to the show to find out why this makes all the difference in living your best life. Our BSL Insider: Kate Courageous is a life coach, writer and speaker who teaches people why “integrity is sexy” and how the practice of courage is revolutionary. Since 2009, thousands of people have visited Your Courageous Life to learn more about working with fear in revolutionary ways through the practice of courage–with the core message being that when you’re trying to eradicate fear or pretend that it doesn’t exist, you’re working against yourself. Her approach is a sexy-soulful combination of intuitive spirituality with brass-tacks, pragmatic wisdom. She defines courage as feeling afraid, diving in anyway, and transforming. Kate is the author of The Courageous Living Program and The Coaching Blueprint. She’s lead retreats in Italy and California, created marketing seminars for the Interchange Counseling Institute in San Francisco, and rocked out leading a breakout session at the World Domination Summit held annually in Portland. She’s currently at work on her first book proposal, training for a half-Ironman and (as always) improving her Italian. This is a woman who claims to have radically reframed her relationship with fear and has chosen to step into living a life of courage instead. If that's not a powerful stance to take on life then I don't know what is. She is someone you can respect because she's also experienced herself what it's like to go through the motions and live that life. You know...the one not meant for you. But today, she is Mrs. Courageous, or what we like to think is a more modern day, real-life Wonder Woman.
