It's our FINAL podcast episode for #FearLess! This episode starts off with some housekeeping about how the Virtual Book Club will continue on instagram, and then we get right into author Michelle B. Vazquez's chapter Fear Will Not Steal My Thunder! In it, Michelle shares her process of the self-analysis she went through to get from a place of self-doubt and fear to self-acceptance and "turning down the volume" of thoughts that do not serve her, which sparked Kristen and Bex's conversation about other people's perceptions versus our own, and which observations that come from ourselves and other ..read more

OK, ok. We admit we can't QUITE call this one "super" short, as our lead-ins always promise, but when you have a chapter like Kristy Keus' "You Can Do Hard F***in' Things", sometimes you just gotta let the tape run (well...digital tape? Aaanyway...). Kristy's journey is one of those "not like my life but still relatable and inspiring" reads. So inspiring, in fact, that we get into a LOT of topics, like self-esteem and evolving confidence, positivity, gratitude, and especially, embracing change. Kristen and Bex dive into healthy ways to handle life's what-ifs, not "shoulding all over ourselves ..read more

Ch. 12 - You CAN takes readers through a wide range of emotions as experienced by author Estee Roe throughout her struggle to find her purpose in adulthood as well as to find sure footing as a mother of two. Old fears show up in new situations (as is their wont!). Will Estee find her way to self-actualisation? Kristen and Bex contemplate Estee's search to find validation from within instead of from the external, and discuss their own experiences with similar themes involving changing careers and motherhood. They talk about giving oneself permission to pursue things that don't come ready with a ..read more

Next up, it's Ch. 10 - Hello Fear! It's Me Again, by author Lisa Poznikoff. In this chapter, Lisa gives her readers a seat in her road-trip-of-self-discovery car, right next to her other passenger, Fear, and lets us witness how she handled the many turns she had to take to find satisfaction with her work life. Kristen and Bex are taken back to similar experiences in their own lives; those moments when you have to make a change and have to have faith that you can roll with it if it turns out it's not meant to be permanent, or it ends up not what you had hoped it would be. Other topics covered i ..read more

Summer hiatus is over...aaaand we're BACK!  Next up is Ch. 9 - Fearing Less: Finding Courage as We Age, by author Sharon Hughes-Geekie. Sharon brings a unique and positive perspective on fearing less that comes from her conscious decision to practice being open-minded and seeking out new experiences, and in so doing, eschewing self-doubt (rhyme intended). Kristen and Bex cover a lot of territory, from the conflict we can feel when trying to suss out how best to be a good friend to people with different needs and personalities; to reaching out when we are drowning while still being underst ..read more

Andrea Kelly's Ch. 6 - Fear is a Teacher delves into (trigger warning...) disordered eating and Andrea's path of self-discovery, which got her out of it. This chapter sparked a lot of 'yes-ands' for Kristen and Bex despite the fact that the author's life experiences differed from theirs in several ways and it is because of how well Andrea puts her readers into her own shoes. This discussion offers up compelling perspectives as to why and how to have compassion for others as well as oneself.  A few ways to show Andrea some appreciation are as follows: 1) Contact her to see if she could sig ..read more
