I recently read Brave Enough To Be Myself and found it to be a transformative journey towards self-acceptance. The book’s honest and reflective narrative encouraged me to embrace my true identity without fear. Its personal stories and practical advice resonated deeply, helping me confront self-doubt and celebrate my uniqueness. I feel more empowered to live authentically and appreciate my individuality. This book is a must-read for anyone seeking the courage to be their genuine self.

This book felt like an exhale after holding your breath for too long. I have always struggled with perfectionism and feeling like I'm not "enough". Bernice's book guides you through self-exploration as you figure out where these limiting beliefs originated. There are exercises throughout the book that help you let go of these beliefs and embrace yourself with all your flaws.
This is one of those books you can pick up again and again, turn to any page and get a burst of motivation/validation.

This book is a gentle, empowering guide for anyone who’s ever struggled with self-doubt or felt like they had to hide who they really are. Bernice writes with warmth, honesty, and a deep understanding of what it takes to move from “not enough” to “brave enough.” The stories, reflection prompts, and practical steps are easy to engage with - and they stay with you. A beautiful read that encourages you to take up space, show up as yourself, and build a life rooted in courage.

This is for you if...

  • You're tired of playing small because of what others might think
  • You feel stuck between who you are and who you're "supposed" to be
  • You're facing life transitions that test your courage (divorce, empty nest, career shifts)
  • You're ready to embrace your "strange jewels" – those unique qualities others might have labeled as "too much" or "not enough"
  • You want to build courage muscles through daily practice, not just motivation

Brave Enough To Be Myself
30-Day Challenge

You know that feeling – the one where your heart whispers "yes" but fear holds you back?
 
Where you long to stand tall in who you are, but old stories of "not enough" keep you small?
​
I've been there. From standing frozen in front of my 4th-grade teacher, to leaving Fred (my fear dragon) in the car with cookies while I went whitewater rafting at 54.
 
From hiding my voice in a toxic marriage to dancing naked in the snow with my true love.
 
Each step taught me something precious: courage isn't about being fearless – it's about choosing to move forward while being afraid.

What Makes This Challenge Different

This isn't about you pushing through your fear
or forcing yourself to be "fearless".
Instead you'll...
