On this episode of What I Wish My Mother Taught Me, I chat with

Nicole Trick-Steinbach about the process of building bravery is built upon three pillars: acknowledging and embracing one's emotions, creating an action plan, and taking accountability for one's own actions and dreams.

The first pillar emphasizes the importance of truly connecting with and processing one's emotions, as this is often overlooked in today's society. Feeling one's feelings is a necessary step in building bravery.

The second pillar involves creating an action plan, setting goals, and taking consistent action towards those goals. It requires stepping out of one's comfort zone and embracing risks and challenges. Building momentum and moving forward, even in the face of setbacks, is key.

The third pillar centers around taking responsibility for one's choices and actions, as well as taking ownership of one's dreams and aspirations. It is about recognizing the power to shape one's own life and make things happen. Accountability is not about controlling others, but rather about self-governance and personal growth.

Overall, building bravery encompasses emotional awareness, proactive planning, and personal responsibility. It is a skill that can be applied to various aspects of life, such as careers, relationships, and personal growth. By embracing these three pillars, individuals can cultivate the courage and resilience needed to overcome challenges and pursue their dreams.
