#55: How to Embrace Fear and Practice Courage with Kate Swoboda

Ever interested in how your daily habits become second nature? Or why you practice certain habits on repeat, even though they’re not helping you live your truth?

In today’s podcast conversation, we connect with Kate Swoboda – a writer and facilitator on the topic of habit-formation and psychological courage. Kate’s work is grounded in helping individuals and organizations let go of fear-based patters that no longer work for them….. think things like procrastination (our worst enemy), self-sabotage, people pleasing, and perfectionism (another one could do without).

But what happens after you let go, what’s the next step?

Great question and one that we unpack throughout our conversation today! Kate teaches us that by viewing fear as an old wound, and not something we can get rid of, we can begin to replace our fear-based habits with four research-backed practices that she labels as courage habits (psst: learn more about these habits in her new book).

These are: accessing the body, listening with non-attachment, reframing the story, and creating and reaching out to community.

You’ll get to hear both how Kate’s used these in her own life, and how she recommends we use them with our personal fear-based, no longer serving us thoughts and actions.

We promise, this is a conversation that will have you grabbing your pen (take notes ladies), inspire you to heal your fear, and take action to practice courage today.

Hit that play button sisters, come listen in!
