[Re-Release] Practicing Courage #22: Letting go of what doesn't serve you

On the heels of a powerful conversation with Dr. Emma Seppala we are re-releasing this Practicing Courage episode (originally #4) as it aligns intimately with the themes Emma and I explored together.

Perhaps none more important than Sovereignty, which is the topic of Emma's beautiful new book: Sovereign.

She defines Sovereignty as: Our innate human capacity for being resilient regardless of the chaos that life brings and for staying true to oneself and intentional regardless of outside influences.

Part of staying true to oneself involves the practice of intentionally letting go of what no longer serves us. 

Today's practice will explore how to let go as you are introduced you to the work of Dr. Jud Brewer. 

You'll learn more about how we can leverage knowledge of how our brains work, the latest science of habit change, and a blend of curiosity and kindness, to ultimately let go of ways of thinking and behaving that no are no longer helpful or beneficial in the pursuit of what we care about most.

Thank you for your practice!
