The In Between - Jennifer Baljko

. .

Résumé :
Put on your big-girl panties, and carry on. Do it scared. Fortune favors the bold.Growing up in a world where there was no time or tolerance for fear, a generation of women-my generation of women-were encouraged to build a facade of fearlessness. We learned how to bypass other emotions, and use our courage as the antidote for nearly every hard thing we achieved in life. Donning courage as a constant solution, though, is exhausting. Let's reinvent a new model to carry us beyond our midlife triumphs and into the crone space of lived wisdom. The first step is understanding that there is not always a straight line between fear and courage. More often than not, a range of other, often overlooked and misunderstood, emotions inform and influence our reactions, our choices, and our actions. The In Between: Journeying From Fear to Courage is a creative nonfiction collection of personal stories that aim to inspire new conversations and reflections about how we greet fear, walk through comfortable and uncomfortable emotions, and arrive to a heart-full of courage that leads us onwards and upwards. The book-based primarily on lessons learned from a 16,000-kilometer walk from Bangkok to Barcelona-helps us identify patterns we bring to our choice points and decision-making process, and, with that knowledge, make better and more aligned soul choices. Get ready to unleash your inner strength and take on the world with this life-changing book. Take control of your life and achieve your dreams....
