Are your fears preventing you from living the life you truly want? Do you ever wish that you had a better job, could improve your race time, stop getting injured, or finally lose the extra weight? Many people believe that they would do more, accomplish more, and feel more fulfilled if only they could rid themselves of that fearful inner voice that constantly whispers, “you can’t do it.” Enter: The Courage Habit Kate Swoboda is a guest on the podcast this week, and she's the author of a new book, The Courage Habit: How to Accept Your Fears, Release the Past, and Live Your Courageous Life.
