About The Daring Way™ The Daring Way™ is a highly experiential methodology based on the research of Dr. Brené Brown. The method was designed for work with individuals, couples, families, work teams, and organizational leaders. It can be facilitated in clinical, educational, and professional settings. During the process we explore topics such as vulnerability, courage, shame, and worthiness. We examine the thoughts, emotions, and behaviors that are holding us back and we identify the new choices and practices that will move us toward more authentic and wholehearted living. The primary focus is on developing shame resilience skills and developing daily practices that transform the way we live, love, parent, and lead. Further information is available at The Daring Way. |
Rising Strong for LGBTQ
Brene Browns Netflix show a call to courage has garnered her continued attention, people are waking up to the new narrative that vulnerability is actually COURAGE, and The old myths of vulnerability as weakness are slowly being dismantled. Knowing this myth and changing the narrative is one thing, but actually experiencing it is another, and thats where the true call to courage lies. This group is an opportunity to practice and experience the courage we've all been longing for.
Rising Strong™ is based on the simple physics of vulnerability: If we are brave enough, often enough, we will fall. This is a process about what it takes to get back up and how OWNING our stories of struggle ( Sexuality) give us the power to write a daring new ending. STRUGGLE can be our greatest call to COURAGE and the clearest path to a WHOLEHEARTED life.

Testimonials from previous attendees:
" I Found the classes to be extremely helpful. The concept of shame was the thing that really hit home with me. Its nice to recognize when I am shaming myself, because it now allows me to put perspective on the negative thought. those thoughts when unchecked for a long time which warped how I thought of myself. Thank you for shedding light on that concept. Also, I thought the group setting was important. Its really easy to be vulnerable and show your true self in a 1 on 1 session with a therapist. Its much harder to show that side to a group of strangers which is good practice for entering into ones arena."
" I’ve gone through my share of hurt and hardships. But what I’ve learned from your class is to be DARING. Daring enough to put on your Party 🎉 👖 and celebrate life passionately!"
" Its really much clearer to me that I was working hard to manage everyones perception of me, the deep rooted fear of not being enough lives in my body, processing shame and building shame resilience has given me a new perspective. I care less about the perception of others that don't really know me, and I can focus more on the people who actually love me for me."
