Fearless Freedom with Dr. G

Looking at the most downloaded episodes from 2019, several topped the list. This is the first in a series of episodes highlighting the ones you listened to the most. Episode #14 featured Dr. Dawn Becker and was a delight to hear how her education landed her in three countries and three continents. She has the BEST stories! Episode #24 is a bit of my story and how I faced failure and fear at age 16 when I went to college.  In 2020, I have a new fear that I am facing. You may be able to help me with this one. On January 15, 2020, I am doing a webinar on the importance of podcasting for professional women in getting their voices heard and engaging their tribes.  Then, the week of January 20, 2020, I am launching my very first course - Podcasting for Professional Women 101. Talk about fear! I am being completely transparent when I say that I am both nervous and scared but I am doing it anyway!

There is so much to be thankful and grateful for in 2019. Can you believe that this podcast got started one whole year ago based on a desire to face my fear of public speaking?  In a year, we have had some amazing guests - doctors, lawyers, social workers, nurses, virtual assistants, podcasters, and coaches. In a year, you have had a front-row seat to watch my journey as I work on being better than I was before, punching fear in the face and emerging victoriously.  I am so grateful for your support. Thank you for listening, sharing, subscribing. As a result of your caring, the podcast has surpassed the 6000 unique download milestone. Thank you! Thank you for leaving comments and questions. Most of all, thank you for being you and for showing up.  We are a fearless tribe and we have done incredibly brave things in 2019.  Coming up in January, I am excited to share excerpts from 2019's most popular episodes. In addition, I am facing fear again and launching my Podcasting 101 for Professional Women course! Join in, create your podcast, and get your voice out there! Your tribe is waiting for you!
