We don't grow in the dark, growth happens in the light.

I'm challenging you to come out of hiding, to shed secrets, to step beyond shame.

I'm challenging you to stand in the light of truth.

Why go to therapy because it's defined work?

When you are emotionally healthy, you are more powerful spiritually.

You're now listening to the In the Light podcast hosted by Dr. Anita Phillips.

Hey, hey, hey in the light fam, welcome back.

This is Dr. Anita and I am so glad that you decided to listen to this episode.

We are wrapping up a month focused on having courage.

And we have had such incredibly powerful guests all month long giving us multiple perspectives

on what it means to live courageously.

We had Nona Jones here and Elsa Christie talking about what it means to be courageously free.

We had Johnny and Jenny Baker open their hearts for us, bear their souls and teach us what it means to be courageously broken.

And then in our last episode, Crystal Evans Hurst, who inspired every single one of us to courageously dream

at no matter what point of life we're in, no matter what condition we think our dreams are in, no matter how accessible we think they still are,

Crystal encouraged us to courageously dream.

And now we are wrapping up a courageous month with the theme courageously speaking.

And there is no one that I would have rather had as a guest to come and teach us what it means to speak courageously

than the woman who is going to be here with us today.

Before I bring on our special guests though, I want to recommend two books to you that will keep your mind on courage moving forward.

The first is called The Courage to Be Disliked.

Just that title alone should have some of you running to look it up.
