Growing Bold: How To Overcome Fear, Build Confidence, and Love the Life You Live

Once painfully shy, a lifelong homebody, and desperate to fit in, I never imagined I’d one day speak confidently to a room full of strangers, travel solo around the world, or lose 75 pounds, and keep it off.

So what changed?

That question launched a journey of deep personal transformation, one I share candidly in Growing Bold. Part memoir, part guide, this book blends real-life stories with actionable tools to help you break through fear, build lasting confidence, and step fully into the life you’ve been craving.

Along the way, you’ll discover the Three Catalysts for Cultivating Courage — the same principles that helped me rewrite my story, and that can help you do the same.

If you’re ready to stop shrinking and start living boldly, this book is for you.

Throughout this workshop, you’ll:

Discover the three keys that fuel the feeling of being an outsider.

Understand why this experience is so common, and often so painful.

Reflect on your own experiences through guided exercises.

Learn concrete, actionable steps to help you integrate into your new community with more ease and confidence.

As an American living in southern France since 2018, I share from personal experience. I know what it’s like to feel isolated, invisible, and unsure where to start, and now, I have a vibrant community here.

This is not just a lecture: it’s a time to take action on what you learn during the course.
