Living with Less Regret: Tools for Releasing Fear, Finding Courage, Moving Forward. With Margie Warrell

What if the thing holding you back isn’t actually your ability at all… but your FEAR. Today’s guest is Margie Warrell, Leaderships Advisor, Keynote Speaker and Author of The Courage Gap, Five Steps to braver Action. So what is the courage gap?? She describes it as that space between who you are and who you want to be AND how fear quietly fills that space with things that hold us back like perfectionism, people pleasing and that critic in your head that says “I’m not ready yet” or I’m not good enough. Margie shares why even brilliant, capable people get stuck, how to tell the difference between courage and recklessness, and why self-compassion can be a conduit to courage. We also dive into her practical tools—like “one brave minute”—to help you take the first imperfect step, regulate your nervous system, and start focusing on what you want more than what you fear. In this episode, we cover: Why capable, intelligent people still struggle with fear and stuckness The difference between brave vs. reckless (discernment over bravado) How fear disguises itself as perfectionism, control, proving, and over-functioning “Vital lies”: the soothing mistruths that keep you playing too safe Why many women are socialized to wait until they’re “ready,” and how to break that pattern A practical way to reframe your inner story using Margie’s “3 P” test (powerful, positive, purposeful) How to work with fear (not eradicate it) and regulate your nervous system Resource: margiewarrell.com As always, we’re untangle, the podcast from Muse, the brain sensing headband that helps to transform your brain potential.
