A Life Lived in Fear Is a Life Half Lived: How to Be Brave Even When You’re Scared

Julie DeLucca-Collins Episode 5

In this episode, I talk about the importance of living life without letting fear hold us back. Fear is a natural part of being human, it’s not something to eliminate, but something to understand and move through. I share a few personal stories, including one about reconnecting with my mom, and how those moments reminded me that bravery doesn’t mean we’re never scared, it means we move forward with the fear.

I also dive into the power of intention and how small, courageous actions can lead to real growth and fulfillment. My hope is that this conversation inspires you to take your own brave steps toward the life you truly want.

💫 In this episode, I share:

  • The perspective shift that comes when you count your days, and choose to make them count.
  • Why creating joyful memories is a true act of courage.
  • How to live in the present without being haunted by “what’s next.”
  • A simple mindset reminder to help you build a meaningful, joy-filled life.
