Wickedly Smart Women

Many people live in fear and find a sense of comfort in continuing to live like that for the rest of their life. But what if you had the chance to take the power back and stop letting fear rule your life?

In Lynda's year of fear she managed to learn so much and came out completely transformed. She couldn't just keep it all to herself so she decided to start Women Acton Takers. Lynda shares the 7 most important lessons she learned in her book, The Year of Fears.

On this episode of Wickedly Smart Women, Lynda joins Anjel to explain how her journey going from an abusive childhood to conquering her fears in her 50's and helping others do the same.

Listen in for Lynda's insight on how transformative taking action and control over her life has been and the success she sees in her clients who are choosing to do the same.
