When we think of bravery, we tend to think of heroes and knights. People who have done amazing and life threatening things. Those who did not allow fear to stop them from accomplishing their mission. But what if consider the idea that bravery goes just a little bit deeper? What if we consider the fact that many of the things we do every day require bravery? And if we can imagine that, what does it mean when we fail to stand up for ourselves or take the risks necessary to make our lives better?

In this podcast, Dr. Berney and Dr. Ellen discuss the idea of bravery and how this common, though under-appreciated concept is being "safetied" right out of us. So many of us are too hesitant to ask for what we want, others of us would rather remain frustrated, scared, and/or unhappy than stand up for ourselves and demand that we get what we deserve. What's more, we are teaching our kids the same thing. Today we talk about what we can do to change this pattern and take back our bravery.
