I was fortunate to successfully complete the The Daring Way™ certification in September 2016 and although I no longer facilitate the curricular work, I continue to integrate the underlying philosophies and research as needed into my coaching and recommend all of the books to my clients.
About The Daring Way™
The Daring Way™ and other publications is based on the research of Dr. Brené Brown. Her work covers topics such as vulnerability, courage, shame, and worthiness along with thoughts, emotions, and behaviours that are impeding progress. My coaching style embraces the research and publications of Dr. Brené Brown as we identify the new choices and practices that will move us toward more authentic and wholehearted living. The primary focus is on developing shame resilience skills and developing daily practices that transform the way we live, love, parent, and lead.

About Rising Strong™
Rising Strong is a book about what it takes to get back up and how owning our stories of struggle gives us the power to write a daring new ending. Struggle can be our greatest call to courage and the clearest path to the wholehearted life.
Here’s how Brené describes the progression of her work:
The Gifts of Imperfection – Be you.
Daring Greatly – Be all in.
Rising Strong – Fall. Get up. Try again.
