SZN 1 - EP 001: Stepping into the Courage to Grow

Growthnomics with K. Monique

Welcome to Growthnomics with me, Kay Monique, where we’re all about getting real with personal growth and pushing beyond what we thought was possible.

Season 1? It's all about personal growth, baby. I'm laying it all out there—the rough patches, the tumble-downs, and, most importantly, the climb-up-again moments that define my journey. But here's the real twist: I'm not just sharing my stories from the trenches. I'm bringing in the big guns, leaders from the 7 Mountains—Family, Religion, Education, Media, Entertainment, Business, and Government—to share their gold nuggets of wisdom. They're the ones who've scaled their mountains and are here to show us how to make that leap from our own valleys to the peaks of our potential.

And we're kicking things off with a bang in an episode that hits right at the heart: "Fear | Do It Anyway…Scared and All." Fear got you in a chokehold? It's time to break free. Dive in with us as we:

• Tackle Understanding Fear: Get why that pesky fear likes to jump out when we're stepping into the big, unknown world. It's all about protection, but let's be real—it's a bit overprotective.
• Spot Fear in Its Tracks: Anxiety, that heart-pounding, the whole 'frozen in the headlights' vibe—it's all signs of fear. We're decoding those signals so you can recognize them for what they are.
• Unlock The Essence of Bravery: With a little wisdom from Brene Brown, we're flipping the script on bravery. It's not about being fearless; it's about pushing forward, fear and all.
• Find Inspiration from the Brave: Meet folks like "Tee-Tee," whose spirit of confidence, vulnerability, and faith lights the way for all of us looking to find our courage.
• Master Practical Steps to Overcome Fear: We've got the tools to help you quiet those fears—deep breaths, killer playlists, getting your groove on, and journaling it out.

This isn't just a podcast; it's your personal shoutout to face those fears, armed with a little knowledge, a ton of courage, and a community ready to walk you through it all. So tune in, get pumped, and let's dive headfirst into the fog of fear together.
With Growthnomics, you're not just listening to a podcast; you're stepping up to become the bravest version of yourself. Let's light up those fears and turn them into your stepping stones to greatness. Ready to be fearless? Let's do this, "Scared and All."
