Emotional Badass

I Entered a Burro Race as a Beginner and Outran My Fear

Episode Description from the Publisher

What if a stubborn, snack-loving donkey named Bonita could teach me more about my own anxiety than years of overthinking ever did? I entered a mountain burro race as a complete novice, and my anxious parts ran a full propaganda campaign about every way I might fail. What I found on that trail was the discernment between fear that protects me and fear that quietly shrinks my life. My confidence didn't grow from theory or talk. It grew through doing the hard thing while my scared parts watched my wise woman take the reins.
