S2E13 Becoming Brave with Katie Dean

Real talking Katie Dean talks about anxiety and fear and doubt with a no BS approach (wait for a shit storm analogy that is gross, but so apt). She takes such a pragmatic approach to understanding fear and embracing the messiness of life, knowing fear is definitely along for the ride but isn't taking the wheel on her watch.
