The moment I committed to courage, everything changed.
The moment I committed to courage, everything changed.
For years fear quietly shaped my life.
Freeway phobia.
Public speaking phobia.
Scared to leave the house.
Constant anxiety attacks.
I used alcohol to quiet the fear — but it only made the anxiety worse.
So my strategy became simple: avoid the things that scared me.
Avoidance was running my life.

Avoidance was running my life.
But the more I avoided fear, the smaller my world became.
Then one day a thought hit me: “I can’t keep doing this.”
Getting sober became my turning point. It felt like a second chance at life. But without alcohol, the anxiety was louder than ever.
It became clear that avoidance wasn’t working.
Courage was the only way out.
So I made a decision: I would take courageous action for as long as it took to rebuild my life.

Since 2012 I’ve helped thousands of people
overcome fear and start living boldly again.

This is what my courage commitment looks like.
From feeling afraid to leave the house… to becoming a digital nomad and moving to Bali.
From a crippling fear of dogs and crossing the street to avoid a small leashed dogs… to falling in love with my Bali dog Luna.
From public speaking phobia and changing majors in college to avoid speaking… to sharing my secrets on a TEDx stage.
From freeway phobia and not driving on a highway for 3.5 years… to solo road-tripping 13,000 miles across the U.S.
From being afraid to question, leave or speak about AA… to helping thousands deprogram from 12 step ideology.
Every courageous move builds the new life.
