It takes courage to make healthy life changes.

At Weight Free Wellness® we strive to share the people, resources and principles that it takes to lead a healthy life; and courage is definitely one of these!

 

In this inspiring interview, Zoe McKey shares insight from her book, Catching Courage (what a great title!) and we talk about how the insight applies to wellness.

 

“Bravery is a state of mind with an absence of fear… Generally, courage on the other hand, is more than a state of mind, it’s an emotion. When you feel that pressing fear but you decide to do anyway what you’re about to do. You’re totally aware that failure is a high chance to happen, but you decide to do it anyway.” – Zoe McKey

“With courage you experience an overcoming feeling of strength…” – Zoe McKey

Here are some of the highlights of Courage for a Wellness Lifestyle:

About Zoe

My name is Zoe McKey, and I’m a former dishwasher, shop assistant, car factory worker, translator, international relations manager at a language school, and communication coach of a smaller Japanese organization. Add my hours spent as a high school and university student and you can see that I needed 25 hours in every day.

I’ve been living on my own and supporting myself since I was 14. For years I was unable to pursue my passion. And today I’m grateful for all the things I went through.

Because of my situation I had to learn to connect and get along with every type of person. From a young age I had to develop my ability to understand emotional needs. With my strong self-awareness, I help people (re)gain their confidence and self-esteem so they can live a lasting balanced life.

Right now I’m a Communication Coach; I teach interpersonal and social skills internationally. My training doesn’t follow the conventional “pep talk self-help” style, but is the result of a ten-year, thorough study of human behavior, limits, and challenges.

I’m also a #1 Amazon bestselling self-help author. I consider my work to be like a pickle jar filled with different sized pickles. Each pickle represents a different solution to a problem related to confidence: personal lifestyle development, enhancing confidence, improving perseverance, overcoming fears, beating procrastination, building social skills, and many others.

I’m not a mentalist, nor am I an expert gathering titles to prove my aptitude. I believe more in the power of undivided attention, honest caring, and asking questions instead of demanding solutions based on a ten-minute discussion. I’m a simple girl, with an ENFJ personality, who wants to help everyone who needs it.

I’ve been in the position when all the world made me feel insignificant and unworthy,
