The Courage to Learn: Knowledge as the Bravest Resistance of All
from You Can Do It: The Podcast for Neurodivergent Adults, Deep Creatives, and Out-of-the-Box Thinkers · host Kimberly Frey
In this week’s episode, I continue our series on the many faces of resistance. Join me as I discuss how knowledge itself becomes a powerful form of resistance, and why the courage to learn, unlearn, and evolve is one of the bravest acts we can choose. In addition to sharing another famous face of resistance from the Harlem Renaissance, jazz great Duke Ellington, I’ll also share my personal journey of how knowledge has been a type of resistance in my own life - whether because I challenged myself or was challenged by others to be open to receiving it. Lastly, we’ll unpack how knowledge can be a powerful act of resistance in your own life as you gain understanding about your brain, your values, your definition of success,and what you need to get you there. This knowledge empowers you to resist those outside forces trying to tell you who you are. Ready to have the power of self-knowledge at full force in your life? Book your FREE 30-minute Strategy Session, a powerful space where together we’ll explore what you need, and then you’ll leave with a tool, strategy, or action step you can use right away.
