Emily Ann Peterson is a Singer, Songwriter and best selling author. When this podcast was recorded, Emily was in her national book tour for her best selling book, Bare Naked Bravery!

Five years ago Emily was a professional cellist when she was diagnosed with a condition that changed her life. The lack of stability and tremors in her hand meant that her life altered: as a cellist this meant that not only her entire career changed, but she also felt that she was grieving for her identity.

Over a period of 6 weeks, Emily discovered that she had a lot of other creative skills she could dig into. This included songwriting, starting a podcast and talking to other people who showed bravery - enter Bare Naked Bravery!

So what is bravery? Emily has found that there are 3 forms: internal, external and resonate bravery.

Emily says that bravery isn't something that just happens, but is almost like a muscle that develops over time to strengthen.
