Taking Risks – Try Coaching

About this episode

The episode discusses the everyday nature of risk and how to approach it with clarity and confidence.

In this episode, the Wise Black Nanas dive into the idea that risk isn’t just about big, dramatic life decisions, it’s woven into our everyday choices, relationships, and growth. Whether we realize it or not, we’re constantly navigating uncertainty, weighing outcomes, and deciding what feels worth it. As life coaches, Joanne and Dr. Sharla bring their lived experience, insight, and no-nonsense wisdom to the conversation. They explore how different people approach risk, what holds us back, and how we can move forward with more clarity and confidence. Along the way, Dr. Sharla shares a simple, practical concept she uses with clients to help make risk-taking feel more manageable and grounded. As well, she reveals some huge personal risks she took…find out if they were worth it! If you’ve ever found yourself hesitating, overthinking, or wondering whether to take that next step, this episode offers both perspective and encouragement to help you move forward.
