Fearless Together

As Rhonda Britten says, "No one can be fearless alone." This group is intended to be a place of community as we're all on the path of becoming fearless. We like having company on that path.

Who we are:  People who are interested in self-development, making positive changes in our lives, our thoughts, our health, our relationships, our work, our world.  We want to empower ourselves to succeed, achieve our dreams, engage in the world in meaningful ways. As we begin, many of us will have taken one or more programs from Rhonda's Fearless Living Institute, become Certified Fearless Living Coaches (CFLC), been part of a book group or been coached by a CFLC or someone in training to become a CFLC. And there will be people who have done none of that. You're all welcome.

How we practice being fearless:  In community.  No one accomplishes anything alone.  We've all had teachers, encouragers, supporters, believers in us even when we didn't believe in ourselves.  There have been books, classes, movies, TV shows, people met at holiday and dinner parties, friends, mentors, from which, or whom, we have learned in the past.  However, head learning is not the same as heart or body learning.  Knowing something is not the same as living that thing or being that thing in the world.

What we do:  Ask good questions.  Answer those questions honestly (sometimes, but not always, out loud), even when we're embarrassed, disappointed, hurt, ashamed, proud of, grateful for, or surprised by our answers.

Disclaimer:  While this group is intended to be supportive, it is NOT intended to be a therapy support group.  There are professionals who do that.  If you bring a problem or issue to the group to explore, question, or work on, we may suggest that you take that problem or issue to a professional therapist or mental health specialist.  We do not have the skills, knowledge, or experience to help with mental health illness or emotional crises.
