032: Be Afraid... and Do It Anyway!
*Trigger Warning*
Fear is something we all experience in our lives. It’s a normal physiological response that we need to keep us safe. The issue for us is that we’re no longer running from predators! Our ancestors experienced fear and literally used that fear to act – to run from what wanted to kill and eat them!
Today we’re talking about learning to turn our fear into power and strength in this modern day, so we can move forward and claim our power.
Debby Bibaud, is a single parent who has overcome sexual assault and has made a momentous change in how the Canadian RCMP must deal with sexual assaults in the future, all across Canada.
Debby knows all too well what it’s like to experience fear. But through her experiences she’s also learned the control she has over her own thoughts and mindset, coining her motto: Be afraid and do it anyway!
You see, Debby made a crucial shift in her perspective after her sexual assault. Instead of using the narrative of this happening to her, she made a conscious choice to start describing it as happening for her. The difference is that this shift allows Debby to be aware of all the positive she has in her life, because of the direction her life has taken. And that change in direction for Debby happened because of that experience.
She’s met people, including me, along her journey – people she likely never would have crossed paths with if that experience hadn’t happened. And she’s had a passion lit beneath her to help other women, not just in their recovery, but in the way the police treat them during their investigation, giving them the dignity they deserve.
It doesn’t mean she wishes it would happen again or would wish it upon anyone else. Instead, it means she can move forward with her emotional and mental health intact.
She’s written a chapter in a book, Sacred Hearts Rising Sparks of Light, about how she overcame her struggles and chose forgiveness – forgiveness of herself, of her attacker, and of the RCMP officer that prompted the changes that Debby forged within the system.
She’s an incredibly courageous and inspirational person that shares so much with us today, that I know you don’t want to miss this.
You can get links to Debby's Facebook, the story on Global News, her son's interview giving tips to other kids, as well as my Moving Forward after Abuse Webinar, Anxiety to Action Cheat Sheet, and Shifting your Mindset Guide, in the show notes.
