Week #1 Focus: Start Easy... and Embrace the Power of Micro-Bravery
Micro-bravery refers to small, daily acts of courage that push us slightly out of our comfort zones.
The beauty of micro-bravery lies in its accessibility. You don't need to quit your job, move to a new country, or make a life-altering decision to practice courage.
You can start right where you are, with what you have.
Whether you're looking to make a big change or simply want to inject a little more bravery into your routine, in this week's Scare Your Soul newsletter, we explore how small acts of micro-bravery have the power to build confidence, resilience and personal growth.
I'll break down this simple but accessible way to find daily acts of courage and challenge you to take one small micro-brave action in this week's Scare Your Soul Challenge, are you ready to take the challenge?

A New Way of Thinking That Might Just Change Your Life
Are you in the GAP? Or are you in the GAIN?
For years, I found myself stuck in this Gap.
No matter how far I'd come from that shy kid eating lunch alone in the bathroom stall, I always felt I should be braver, more successful, more... everything.
It wasn't until I discovered the concept of "The Gap and The Gain" that I realized I was measuring my progress all wrong.
Perhaps you've been here to?
Maybe you've just given a presentation to your company - a career milestone you've been working towards for years.
Instead of basking in your achievement, you're nitpicking your performance. "I stumbled over that one slide. A real leader would have been smoother.”
Or perhaps you've finally finished that non-fiction book that's been sitting on your nightstand for months.
Instead of feeling proud, you're thinking, "It took me way too long. A truly intellectual person would have breezed through it."
Sound familiar?
If so, you're not alone.
In this week's Scare Your Soul newsletter, we explore and breakdown what Dan Sullivan calls "The Gap" that sneaky space between our achievements and our ideals where happiness goes to die.
I'll break down this simple but powerful concept and show you how you too can Measure Your "Gains" in this weeks Scare Your Soul Challenge, are you ready to take the challenge?
