Your courageous life is calling

from Practicing Presence Reveries Hosted by Raina Jung

A reverie on courage and the practice of being seen. I speak about the vulnerability of sharing our hearts and work, the stories that once kept us small, and how fear and trust can walk side by side. I touch on Week Four of The Artist’s Way (recovering a sense of integrity) and read David Whyte’s “My Courageous Life” from Still Possible—a poem that invites us toward the next brave, alive step. In this episode: - The tender risk—and privilege—of using our voice - Letting outdated safety strategies soften - Holding fear with love while choosing courage - Returning to what feels most alive and true A gentle prompt: What is one courageous step your future self is asking you to take today? Poem credit: “My Courageous Life” by David Whyte, from Still Possible. Shared here with deep gratitude. Get full access to Practicing Presence at practicingpresence.substack.com/subscribe

Robby strongly believes – which is backed up by his personal accent acquisition experience – that there’s no such a thing as accent reduction in the common sense of the word whereby we’re looking into the mirror for hours on end while trying to change our inherited sound production mechanisms and tongue placement when speaking. Instead, we simply have to repeat entire sentences by focusing on certain sounds and then the whole accent learning thing becomes so much easier!
