E77: Embracing Courage: Strategies for Overcoming Fear with Gina Gallaun

Haley Cooper | Certified Fundraising Executive (CFRE), Certified Stress Management Coach, Certified EmC Trainer Episode 77

It’s time to stop letting fear hold you back and step boldly into your courage! That’s exactly what Gina Gallaun, the visionary founder of Waves & Words, has done. I’m thrilled to have her on the podcast.
Gina played a pivotal role in building Wise, one of Europe's largest fintech companies, and was part of a historic IPO at the London Stock Exchange. But after eight successful years, Gina decided to embark on a different path, a world trip that would reshape her life and lead to the creation of her book, Embrace Your Brave in 30 Days.
In this episode, we’re sharing how you can embrace braveness in your own life.

In this episode:

  • [02:40] The importance of courage for personal growth
  • [08:34] The value of being surrounded by courageous women and how you can find these people in your own life
  • [14:06] Navigating fear at any age
  • [20:08] Actionable steps to embrace your bravery
  • [21:27] The ROI of being courageous
  • [22:30] Balancing the vulnerability that comes with being courageous with the need for self-preservation
  • [25:59] Gina’s plans for the future
