Your Courageous Life podcast: Recent Episodes
Kate Swoboda
Kate Swoboda says that it's time--time for us to release the fear that holds us back, and step into being our most courageous selves. To do that, we've got to get real about the fear-based behavioral habits that have become patterns controlling our lives. When you start rewiring the habits that have had you stuck, you emerge excited about what's possible, ready to take on life as an adventure, and more resilient in the face of discomfort and challenges. The Your Courageous Life podcast is some parts inspiration, other parts "What are you waiting for?", and always real about the doable actions to change your habits and change your life. Get ready to believe that everything is figure-out-able, that your past doesn't define you, and that it's time to stop dreaming big...it's time to start living big.
Want an easy practice to up-level your life that you can start today? Todays "Tiny Courage" series is a quick short-form podcast on a practice that I've recently adopted that has decreased stress, added to my joy, and drastically up-leveled my life. I'll share what it is and how you can adopt it for yourself--all in under 10 minutes.

What an interesting time capsule this episode is, on "watching what you make it mean." Recorded during the pandemic, it's about a powerful way of reframing even amid the chaos around you through deciding to "watch what you make [life, others, pandemics] mean" about what's possible for you, your life, or the world. As you listen, consider where you were when the pandemic was happening and what your fears were. Did they come to fruition? What can be different about your life if you decide to powerfully take charge of what you want things to mean?

I've been on hiatus for a bit and will be on hiatus for a bit longer, so that's the question that I'm answering on today's podcast, where I explore what it's like to walk through "liminal space" in your life (periods of uncertainty, things falling apart, that are not necessarily "crisis" but are a time of treading water and being in the "in-between" of where you have been and what comes next).
Starting the path to change isn’t enough--we also need to start cultivating accountability for ourselves. We can use habit-formation and the brain’s capacity for neuroplasticity there, too. In this Courage Habit focused episode, Kate + co-host Andy Sewell look at how to create community and how that ties in to courage.

Feeling stuck in the busy-hustle-burnout cycle? I’ve been there, too--and I’ve been leveraging the tools that I’ve learned from the psychology of courage and neuroplasticity to shift out of productivity, and into creativity. (Or, at least, to be able to discern the difference between the two and when one is more needed, than the other!).
If you’ve felt like your efforts to stop being so busy always seem to fail, definitely listen in to this special Courage Habit-focused episode that’s now part of the Your Courageous Life podcast.

Okay, but how do we respond to criticism and critique? And how do we know when we’re triggered because someone’s being unkind, versus because someone’s telling us a truth that we really need to hear? In this special Courage Habit episode, we’re digging into the very real experience of navigating criticism, whether our own or someone else’s.

Change your mindset, and you change your life--that’s the powerful premise that neuroplasticity offers us, and we can use this in order to shift away from fear-based thinking to find more courage. In this episode, we use real examples to talk about how you can shift your thinking using the power of cognitive reframing (a clinically validated approach to behavior change!).

Ever struggled to change a habitual reaction? In this episode from the Courage Habit series, Kate + Andy look at habitual reactions and how to shift those reactions in order to develop more courage. We’re getting into the nitty-gritty of what it means to create long term change through the brain’s capacity for neural plasticity. Looking at your current reactions is a helpful jumping off point for seeing what else is possible.

It’s time to start listening to what your fear has to say--wait, what? This might surprise you, but there’s a very real reason why you need to listen to what your fear is saying: it has a message. The critical piece, however, is that you listen without attachment. In other words? Don’t believe that what your fear says, is automatically true. We’re going through some real examples of this in the 4th part of the Courage Habit series, part of a special 9-part series that is newly added to the Your Courageous Life podcast.

The inner critic is your best friend--with a lousy skill-set! That’s what we’re digging into in the 3rd part of the 9-part Courage Habit series (part of the Your Courageous Life podcast!). If you’ve felt like your internal critic has had a hold on you for far too long, listen in to hear how you can shift your relationship with your critic (and your fear). These skills are applicable to anywhere where you struggle with criticism.

The Your Courageous Life podcast is debuting a special series that tackles lessons from my book, The Courage Habit. I’m partnering with my friend Andy Sewell, and we’re going through different lessons from The Courage Habit to talk about how you’d apply them in your life--when you’re getting overwhelmed and stressed and afraid, how do you literally stop, pause, not get pulled into that overwhelm and fear?
In the first of this 9-part Courage Habit series, we’re talking about how stress can trigger fear-based habits, and how to recognize that process so that you can interrupt the fear-based habits and create courage-based habits, instead.

As I celebrate the 100th episode of the Your Courageous Life podcast, I’m offering a metaphor for how we can think of this time of pre- and post-pandemic transition, and sharing the three essential pieces that you need when you reset your life to pave the way for a new beginning.

Got an annoying coworker? A rude teenager? A partner with whom you’re always arguing? A friend who you’ve become distant from? Most of us say that we want to create better relationships, but we don’t always know how to do that in practice--especially if we have conflict with someone else. It’s normal for human relationships to encounter conflict, and how we navigate that conflict will say everything about what happens for two people, next. Let’s talk about the behaviors that do (and don’t) work to create better relationships.

Narcissism and gaslighting are terms that are being thrown around more and more in popular culture--and they’re not always being accurately applied, which means that sometimes conflict is increased rather than diffused. In this podcast episode, I break down these two terms and how we can be aware of narcissism and gaslighting behaviors, and apply these terms accurately to resolve, rather than inflame, conflict in relationships.

Committed to being offended? What’s that? It’s what’s going on in those relationships where no matter what you do, no matter how much you stretch or bend or try to make things work, the person interprets everything you’re doing through the lens of thinking you’re rude...and getting offended. Today’s podcast episode breaks down the signs that this is happening--and how to respond from a place of courage.

Have you ever been in that space of, “I’m going to change” and then the moment arrives when you could make a different choice, and you just...don’t? Today’s podcast is all about living beyond the comfort zone. The comfort zone has its place--it helps us ground ourselves in preparation to stretch--but we know we can’t always live from that place. At some point, we have to lean beyond that comfort zone, and, we’ve got to be aware of our unconscious habitual reactions to the necessary discomfort that we feel if we’re going to be able to change. Living beyond the comfort zone means recognizing when we’re about to go into old habitual patterns again, so that we can get unstuck.

Whether you’re listening to this podcast at the start of 2021 and wondering how we can set goals given the unpredictable nature of a pandemic, or, you’re in a period of transition in your life and want to use goal-setting to navigate that transition--while leaving plenty of room for pivots--this podcast is for you. Goal-setting in uncertain times is a great skill to have, because of course, life is fundamentally uncertain. The ability to use goals for focus, while leaving plenty of room for adaptation, is a life skill you can take with you anywhere. Let’s get excited about what the new year brings, and set goals that lift us up no matter what tides may come.

2020 was a hard year--and? It was an opportunity. It was an opportunity to dig deeper, finding out what it is that you want most out of life when so many options were taken away. It was an opportunity to find out where our skill-sets were coping had holes. It was an opportunity to look at justice in a new light. It was an opportunity to say more true yes, and more true no. Want the next year of your life to be different? Let’s recap what we’ve been through to pave the way for what’s next.
We can be so hard on ourselves (and others) when we don’t understand why we behave the way we do (“After all, if I know better, shouldn’t I just do better?”). When we see reframing behaviors as an opportunity to examine the needs that might underlie our actions, then we can start to understand ourselves or others differently. Our behaviors have a purpose (even if we can’t see it right away) and a bit of inquiry can help us to see what’s really going on.
We often think of finding your purpose as this thing that you do, a space you arrive at, and having arrived there...the heavens part and golden light shines down, and you skip off into the sunset because now you’ve got a purpose and life is great. (Spoiler alert: it doesn’t quite work that way). In today’s podcast episode, I’m busting some of the popular myths about finding your purpose and inviting you into using today--yes, this today--as your moment to find your purpose in the here-and-now.
Truth: if silencing the critic was truly an effective strategy for living a life with courage...it would have worked by now. You wouldn’t feel fear. So, let’s stop silencing the critic (since it doesn’t work, anyway) and instead, shift into a different kind of relationship with the critical voice within.
Since habits are behind so much of what we do (or avoid doing) in our lives, we need to look at how to change a habit if we want to make positive change. If you decide you want to shift something big in your life, looking at only the thing you want to shift--without the habits that underlie your past behaviors--will only get you so far. In today’s podcast episode, we’re examining how to change a habit and breaking down each piece of the process.
So you want to live in the moment , do you? Acceptance, being present, all of that? But there’s this thing that so many of us do that directly cuts off our ability to truly live in the moment, and that’s what I’m breaking down in today’s podcast episode.
Finding the opportunity amid difficult circumstances isn’t something pithy self-help statement. It’s not “toxic” positivity. It’s not naive optimism. Reframing difficult circumstances and finding the opportunity available is a resilience strategy that helps people to alleviate sadness, worry, fear. That’s what we’re talking about in today’s podcast.
Ask the confident woman you know, “What has been the cost?” She’ll tell you stories. For every confident woman I’ve met, there are stories of needing to face the undermining behaviors of others. In today’s podcast episode, I’m asking all of us to consider how we undermine our own confidence...and how we contribute, inadvertently, to undermining the confidence of others. Confidence isn’t false bravado. It has deep roots.
Do you really want things to change? Really?
Sometimes, we confuse “wanting things to change” with “wanting to be supported in the difficulties I am facing.”
The two are similar in some ways, but different. Today's podcast episode shares how.
To process your experience is to say to the thing that has arisen, “I’ll examine you, and dance with you, and see what’s here.” Processing your experience through letting out sadness, anger, anxiety before they can become pent-up, is a way of being with all of it. It gets you un-stuck from fear, and aligns you with your courage.
In today's podcast episode, you'll learn how to start to process your experience rather than feel like life is constantly coming at you.
After a bit of a Your Courageous Life break, I'm back--and I'm sharing the top 3 tools I've been relying on to emotionally navigate a pandemic...while also moving to a new state, while still being a parent, while running a business, while...well, you know. It's #AllTheThings. Listen in for a little "where we are" check-in and the tools that you can lean on each day.
You and your voice are being called upon--because right now, we need you to practice the courage to speak up. The courage you practice in your individual life is just an entry point, the initial drop of water that creates a ripple effect of change. In today's podcast episode, I'm talking about how to develop the courage to speak up around injustice, facing your fears of criticism or saying the wrong thing, so that we can create a better world.

Yes, I know--it’s part of the self-help canon to say “Take charge of your life!” But of course--because this is the Your Courageous Life podcast--we’re meaning something more nuanced. You can’t control pandemics, death, taxes, suffering, so I’m not going to talk to you about just switching your mindset, and that’s it. At the same time? Yes, take charge of your life wherever and whenever you possibly can--because what are the other appealing options? Throwing up your hands in defeat?

Okay, things are changing--the world as we know it has definitely changed for the foreseeable future--so you need to know how to pivot. You’ll be making multiple pivots in the coming months, changing as circumstances change, adjusting, noticing how you feel and honoring that, making tough choices. So amid those tough choices, knowing how to pivot as needed (rather than getting stuck) is crucial.

As we go out into the world and encounter other people, it’s helpful to remember to watch what you make it mean (meaning: be aware that you are the one applying the interpretation). As we navigate challenges and difficulties, we can’t be in control of what’s happening “out there,” but we have absolute autonomy over our intentions, where we place our attention, and whether we react vs respond. This is a profound moment to “choose who you want to be.” So, who do you want to be? And how can this moment, right now, be your training ground?

Learning to love yourself isn’t about trying to reach perfection, nor is it about abandoning all attempts to improve your life. You can absolutely want to change or improve your life in some way, without that being an indication that you don’t fundamentally love yourself. And, you also don’t need to wait until those changes are made, before you can learn to love yourself. Today’s podcast episode breaks down the often tricky nuances that go along with learning to love ourselves, and especially moving out of a right/wrong binary around self-love so that we can step into something greater.

Burnout is tough. It’s far easier to preventively avoid burnout than it is to start beating burnout once you’re stuck in it. Today’s episode, however, is going to address both ends of this spectrum. If you’re trying to be proactive about avoiding burnout, or if you’re currently focused on beating burnout because it’s everywhere, I’m reviewing intentional practices that you can put into your life (starting today!). I’ll be going over the symptoms of burnout, the three things that create the “burnout trifecta,” and offer some direct feedback about what you need to stop doing, now, to get out of the burnout zone.

What really throws us off, in our lives? Is it “not knowing” what we need to do? Sometimes, sure, but what throws us off more often is parsing through feelings. We get overwhelmed, stressed, afraid, and we aren’t sure how to keep moving forward when those feelings are a lot (or, worse, when someone around us responds by telling us to “Just calm down” or “Just think positive” in response to what we feel). Knowing how to regulate emotions is a skill that you can use when emotional states are no longer helpful. Denial as a strategy for regulating emotions? Doesn’t work. Here’s what helps!

Everyone needs to know how to set goals without getting stressed--at least, not so stressed that you end up sabotaging the goal or quitting, entirely.

In today’s podcast episode, I’m breaking down the different approaches that I take for setting goals without getting stressed.

I wanted to share an episode on dealing with difficult situations and use challenging circumstances such as these fires and how they have impacted myself and my community, to highlight ways of handling difficult situations.

It’s common self-help advice that “you are the aggregate of the five people you spend time with” or to simply “let go” of people who are “toxic”--but is this way of being profoundly dehumanizing? In this podcast episode, I respond to a listener request to talk about choosing who you surround yourself with and how those people have an impact on your well-being. If you’ve felt conflicted about how to figure out who the people are who are your truest friends, and if you’ve been uncertain about how to effect change in your relationships, this episode is for you.

Do you have trouble recognizing self-sabotage? That’s something of a trick question, because we typically only recognize self-sabotage in hindsight.

It’s time to stop people-pleasing. Some people know that people-pleasing is an issue that needs to stop, and others may think it’s not an issue--but in fact, there may be some hidden areas where, under the right circumstances, you unconsciously go into people-pleasing mode. Fact: you can never please everyone. We know this logically, yet when we try to stop people-pleasing it all feels murky and more complicated. Today’s Your Courageous Life podcast episode is going to break down people-pleasing and give you small, doable ways to not get caught in the people-pleasing habit.

If you (like me) grew up without an athletic background and have never particularly liked going to a gym, and if you (like me) have ever struggled with creating consistent eating habits, this episode will resonate on many levels. While long, definitely listen all the way to the end so that you can get the benefits of all the different threads coming together--the takeaways for how you can apply these ideas to your own life are everywhere. Courageous wellness and empowering your body is not about the “thin ideal” or a “clean” diet. It’s about something much richer.

It’s time to take action now - no more waiting. You deserve more. You deserve better than the b.s. lies of “It’s not the right time” or “But I’m not the kind of person who…” People who go after what they want and take action now are not people who have it all figured out, all the resources, all the time, all the connections, all the abilities. Those things are helpful, but they are not a prerequisite for you to feel the pride of going after what you most desire. (Oh, and? The existentialist in me wants to point out that we’re all going to...die. So, like, we actually don’t have time to waste hemming and hawing about “Gee, I dunno, I don’t know if I’m ready…”). If there’s anything in your life that you’ve been hesitating around taking action on or any dream you’ve been waiting to realize, see this podcast coming across your radar as the flashing neon sign from the Universe that it’s time to take action now - no more waiting.

Our lives matter far more than we can possibly realize, far more than we can possibly give them credit for. We can never know when, just by being ourselves, we will be someone else’s gift.
We do ourselves a gross disservice when we assume that because of our occupations, or unless we take some kind of massive action, we cannot have an impact. Risk the vulnerability of letting other people know that they matter.

Tough truth? We don’t do what we say we should, if we don’t believe that any of it will actually work. Really, what do you believe? Because if you truly don’t believe that meditation (or anything else) could benefit your life, then there’s no point in even telling yourself that you should try it just because everyone else says that it’s great. Right here, right now, you are able to do what you are able to do, as well as you can do it. All that matters is if you at least try.

You are the perfect person. You’ll learn everything else you need, along the way. When you don’t know where to start, right here and right now with you, is enough.

Without a doubt, it’s not helpful to try to bypass negative feelings--but it’s also not helpful to write off possibilities when changing a negative mindset. Changing a negative mindset isn’t possible if you aren’t willing to own the fact that you feel stuck. At first, changing a negative mindset feels like a ton of work. With time, seeing what more is possible can become a habit.

To embrace the critic doesn’t mean letting it get away with poor behavior--there are other options--and that’s exactly what today’s podcast episode on how to embrace the inner critic taps into.

Anxiety is just...another name for fear. There are three specific habits you can shift to start feeling more “anxiety resilient” in general, and you can also lean on these habits to reduce anxiety when it hits. I’ll warn you: these habits are deceptively simple, so most people write them off. The research, however, showing that these habits are effective habits to reduce anxiety, is extensive--you definitely want to gut check whether or not you need to look at these habits in your own life.
