What if the only thing standing between you and your purpose is the fear you've been trying to fight instead of befriend?
In this deeply inspirational and faith-filled episode, Reginald D sits down with Bernice McDonald—author, professional coach, and creator of the Tiny Brave Steps movement. Once stuck in the shadows of fear, disapproval, and toxic perfectionism, Bernice shares her incredible journey of breaking free, walking on fire (literally), and discovering that you don’t have to be fearless to live free—you just need to be brave enough to start.
From overcoming a 30-year battle with an eating disorder to creating a tool that empowers others to move through fear with grace and intention, Bernice opens up about real transformation, emotional healing, and the surprising power of small courageous choices.
This episode is more than just motivational—it's a call to action for anyone who's ever whispered, “I don’t know what to do”. Bernice’s story and wisdom will move your spirit, shift your mindset, and ignite your faith.
