In this episode I delve into the extraordinary potential of 20 seconds of courage. Inspired by the words of a character named Benjamin Mee (played by Matt Damon) in the movie "We Bought a Zoo," the focus of this episode is about transformation through 20 seconds of courage. Join along as I explore the impact of embracing bravery, letting go of perfection, and reconnecting with our true selves. ~ Laurie


Episode Highlights:

  • Recognizing the multitude of possibilities within 20 seconds, from starting a creative project to reaching out to someone new.
  • Understanding the self-imposed limitations that prevent us from embracing those 20 seconds of courage.
  • Embracing imperfection and the freedom that comes from being okay with being a "B" student in our pursuits.
  • Rediscovering our childhood dreams and examining the moments when we may have lost confidence in them due to external influences.
  • Examining the regrets of not living authentically and suppressing our true emotions, as shared by Bronnie Ware in her book "The Five Regrets of the Dying."
  • Crafting a vision for our future selves, imagining who we want to be and how we want our lives to look like a year from now.
  • Exploring the desired feelings we aspire to such as freedom, joy, connection, or inspiration.
  • Acknowledging the swiftness of time and the need to seize the present moment to avoid future regrets.
  • Issuing a challenge to listeners: What would they do with 20 seconds of insane courage today?


I invite you to reflect on the transformative power of 20 seconds of courage. Embrace the challenge to step into the unknown, say yes to yourself, and unlock a future filled with endless possibilities. Remember, your journey is unique, and your actions today will shape the life you envision.
