What if your anxiety wasn’t a stop sign — but a compass pointing you toward who you’re meant to become?

In this episode of Block Out the Noise, Jessica Davis (licensed therapist + creator of the C.O.U.R.A.G.E. Method) introduces The Courage Challenge List — a new way to transform your biggest fears into your most exciting adventures.

Instead of letting anxiety shrink your world, you’ll learn how to create a personalized list of challenges that push you outside your comfort zone, build your confidence, and prove that you’re stronger than your fear.

✨ In This Episode, You’ll Learn:

• Why your comfort zone eventually becomes a prison
• How to design your own Courage Challenge List (not a boring “should” list)
• The Friday Challenge Rule and why momentum matters more than motivation
• The power of visibility: keeping your challenge list where you can’t ignore it
• Why you must celebrate attempts, not just wins to build lasting confidence
• How to join the 90-Day Courage Challenge and start building your identity as someone who takes action

Your anxiety has been writing the story for too long. It’s time for you to pick up the pen.
