Hold on to those afterburner's Fire Nation, Johnny Doom is here and I am fired up to bring you our featured guest today, Kate Swaboda.

Kate, are you prepared to Ignite?

Oh yeah, I'm prepared to Ignite.

Kate is a life coach, author and speaker who teaches people how to have the courage in life and business.

She's the author of the courageous living program and the coaching blueprint and the creator of the courageous living coach certification.

Kate, take a minute. Fill in some gaps from that intro and give us just a little glimpse of your personal life.

While we hung out in real life, I would say that I'm pretty opinionated about courage and fear.

I don't really believe that fear is something that we should try to get rid of.

I actually think that no one ever completely, totally 100% never feels fear again and that fearless is a myth.

And instead, I'm about the kind of courage that looks at how we heal fear.

And that means that in my own life, I am totally transparent about being someone who still experiences fear and does the daily work of choosing to practice courage and I guess I'll share something kind of juicy that if

if you were to ask me like, what does that look like for you lately?

I would say that I have just been having this love affair with pleasure and looking at how putting pleasure first is just rocking my life, my business, my marriage, my parenting and everything else and just really looking at what does it look like to actually have the courage to drop the myth that it's always going to be about the hustle and instead make it about like having fun and being in the flow of it all.

So that's a little bit about me. I'm also kind of one of those strange geeky people who really loves curriculum design and facilitation techniques and studying how people learn and metacognition, which is thinking about thinking I find all of that to be really sexy and fascinating and fun.

Well, Kate, I am all about verbally disagreeing with my guests when I actually disagree with them. That's just kind of how I roll, but the reality is I just I agree with you and it's kind of boring as kind of vanilla for me to agree with you, but the reality is in fine as you for me say this over and over again.

You are never going to escape fear. In fact, what I always say is I use the word embrace it because you're a human being we are humans and that is part of being a human being and as long as you are when you always have that imposter syndrome you always fear.

Feel that fear on some level, especially when you get out of that comfort zone because that's where all the magic happens.
