Podcast Episode 294 - From Living in Fear to Fearlessly Free: Close the Gap Between Your Dreams and Reality part 1

February 23, 2024/ Heather Bunch

In this week's episode, I share my journey of self-discovery and how I have learned to live fearlessly free. I talk about my childhood dreams and how I never did realize them––until I finally saw the real me. I emphasize the importance of not just dreaming but also working towards making those dreams a reality. I also read an excerpt from my new book, Hello Courageous!, which delves into self-discovery so you can live your dreams.
