Daring Greatly™ and Rising Strong™
Daring Greatly™ was created to focus on developing shame resilience skills and a courage practice of wholehearted living that transforms the way we Live, Love, Parent, and Lead.
Rising Strong™ is based on the physics of vulnerability. If we are brave often enough, we will fall. This Curriculum focuses on what it takes to get back up after the fall. Owning our stories of struggle gives us the power to write a daring new ending. Challenge can be our greatest call to courage and a life of wholehearted living.
In my individual work with clients, I combine parts of the Daring Greatly™ and Rising Strong™ curriculum to help clients enhance their learning and develop shame resilience skills in between sessions.

She has spent many years studying vulnerability, courage, worthiness, and shame. Her groundbreaking research has been featured on PBS, NPR, CNN and Oprah Winfrey’s Super Soul Sunday.
