About this episode

Jill Schulman discusses the importance of embracing bravery for personal growth and success.

Can we become more brave? And if so, how? Meet Jill Schulman: a former USMC Officer (for the Aussie listeners that means; Marine Corps) and expert in positive psychology with a background in psychology from the University of Pennsylvania. In her book,  The Bravery Effect , Jill explores how embracing bravery as a core strength can fuel personal growth, success, and well-being. Jill has gifted us all a free audio copy of her book: you can download it here for free: https://app.helloaudio.fm/feed/4bf2a5e6-5918-469d-ac35-2c73cdbab058/signup this chat will feel like a pot of hot coffee, first thing in the morning and make you want to tick off everything on your goal list. Jill describes discomfort and growth as two sides of the same coin. And explains, that to be successful, you need to grow. And to grow, you need to face discomfort. We talked about building a habit of being brave. We also deep dive fear and why we shouldn't be running from it, but instead leaning into the fear and and move forward, despite it. Loads of takeaways in this chat, its a goodie! Big Love Lola x Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.
