For years, I lived with a voice in my head that whispered I wasn't thin enough, smart enough, or worthy enough to pursue what mattered most.When I stood in front of my ex-husband after 24 years of marriage and told him he would never speak to me that way again, something shifted. That moment of standing my ground—feeling my feet planted firmly—became the seed for my book, "Brave Enough To Be Myself," and taught me something powerful about courage that I've since helped hundreds of women discover.In my book, I share how courage isn't the absence of fear. It's taking tiny brave steps while scared. I've walked on fire at a Tony Robbins event (terrified but determined), gone whitewater rafting despite vivid images of hitting my head on rocks, and left a marriage when everyone said to stay. Each step taught me that we all have bombs exploding in our lives, boulders blocking our paths, and rocks others throw our way—but it's how we respond that shapes our future."Brave Enough To Be Myself" explores how women going through major life transitions—divorce, empty nesting, career shifts—can move from feeling "not enough" to finding the courage to stand strong in who they truly are.What Your Audience Will Learn:Your listeners will discover practical insights from my book about how to:- Transform their relationship with fear by seeing it as a protective friend rather than an enemy (I call mine Fred!)- Take "tiny brave steps" that build courage through small wins rather than waiting for perfect bravery- Recognize their "strange jewels"—those unique qualities they've been taught to hide that are actually their greatest strengths- Rise above immediate situations using the "Hot Air Balloon Perspective" I detail in my book- Build a "Courage Container" that gathers evidence of their capability even when they doubt themselvesI bring warmth, vulnerability, and practical wisdom to conversations about my book's journey.I share personal stories—like the time I couldn't list three good things about myself at age 19, or how I've faced down workplace bullies—that help women realize they're not alone in their struggles.Your audience won't get abstract theory. They'll get proven frameworks from "Brave Enough To Be Myself" like the "90-Second Rule" for handling emotions and "The Model" for changing thoughts that change results. And they'll walk away knowing how to take their next tiny brave step toward what matters most.Because the truth is, we're all walking our own unique paths in life. My book is for listeners who want to walk theirs with strength and courage—not as they wish they were, but as they truly are, embracing all their strange and beautiful jewels.https://www.bernicemcdonald.com/https://www.facebook.com/bmcdonaldcoaching/If you are looking for a Personal Coach contact Karen at #YESICAN coaching with Karenkh.yesican1@gmail.com440 526 1530
