Re-Find Mini Series Bonus: Be Brave

This episode's intention: Make a brave choice to do the work and follow the framework to begin the process of re-finding yourself.

 

In 2018 my daughter, then five, went through a horrible medical event. It is impossible to summarize, but I attempt in this episode.

 

My community was amazing and rallied around my family during that time. But the hardest part of returning home was running in to well-wishers who asked me how my daughter was doing. I would inevitably cry, which I hate doing, and I would be called so strong, which I hated hearing. 

 

To me, strong is intentional work of showing up and gradually progressing. It is a choice. I didn't choose this. But I was brave. I was terrified. But I kept a positive attitude, I kept it together, I talked to the doctors, I asked the questions.

 

That's bravery. It's looking a shitty situation in the eye and walking straight into it. When you keep making these brave choices a little at a time, the future you will eventually be a stronger version of yourself.

 

You don't have to be strong (yet) to make a change. But you can be brave.
