Boldness Be Your Friend (authored by my cousin, Sarah)
How many times have you allowed fear to speak louder than reason or passion and missed an opportunity to challenge yourself and take a chance on growth in your personal or professional life?

You can still explore, try new things, step into the unknown, and know that you are in control even if you’re anxious.
Closing The Confidence Gap With Sheldon Kerr
