You Don't Get Less Afraid, You Get Braver

In this episode

• Why courage is not the absence of fear, and the fear never fully goes away.
• The doubts that almost stopped this podcast launching, and the two voices on your shoulders.
• The bravery muscle: it trains like a physical one — and what happens when you lift too heavy, too soon.
• Swapping "what's the point?" for "what if it goes well?"
• Why small, deliberate actions beat jumping in feet first.
• The only real regret: never starting at all. The best time is now; the next best is today.

Episode notes
