72: How to turn your fears into your fierce with Brita Fernandez Schmidt

My guest this week is a fearless leader who has spent 25 years championing women’s rights across the world. Brita Fernandez Schmidt is the executive director of Women for Women, an incredible charity that I’ve followed for years that works with women in countries facing conflict and provides them with tools to empower. She is also the author of Fears to Fierce, a women’s guide to owning her powers. It combines her own inspirational story and the women she’s met to help us all connect our truth, passion and purpose. Brita helps to free us from our limiting beliefs, step into our power and become the leader in our own lives. She provides us with tips on how to unlock the purpose within us and how to find our ‘fierce’. She explains that one of women's biggest fears in life is that we are not enough and that we all have a tendency to change ourselves in order to be liked. She encourages us to stop waiting for others to evaluate us and to realise that we matter.Reading Brita’s book was a truly transformative experience, she is incredible and I cannot wait for you to listen to this episode.Find Brita:Book: Fears to Fierce, https://www.britafs.com/fears-to-fierceWebsite: https://www.britafs.com/ Instagram: @britafsYou can now pre-order my book, Happy Not Perfect: Upgrade Your Mind, Challenge Your Thoughts and Free Yourself From Anxiety by clicking here.
