I'm excited (and terrified) to kickoff my new video-first series: The Stories That Made Me: 40 Years, 40 Lessons. I've ended every episode with "Stay rooted, be brave, and live Wildly Intentional." So it made a lot of sense to start with "Be Brave" and why I not only say that, but do my best to embody it.

In this episode:

1. New Series: 40 years, 40 Lessons [01:09]
2. Pull Up a Chair [02:52]
3. Lesson 1: Be Brave [04:29]

This episode is a part of my 40 Years, 40 Lessons Series. Where I share my wisdom that comes with living fully. The kind you don’t find in textbooks. The kind earned through risk, reflection, heartbreak, and joy. These are the lessons that shaped who I am today and the ones I hope will spark something in you too.

Reflection Questions:

Where can you be more brave in your life? Where are you holding yourself back? What does taking an uncomfortable step forward look like for you? What are you ignoring or not doing that could push you into a new opportunity or season of growth? What could you say yes to?
