EP. 40 | Bust Your Buts: Bravery, Gumption & Going for It - With Sally Zimney
What if the thing holding you back isn’t fear—but the story you're telling yourself about it?
This week on Okay, Now What?, I’m joined by the powerhouse that is Sally Zimney—award-winning speaker, bestselling author, and host of one of the top speaker podcasts in the world—for a real, raw, and laugh-out-loud honest conversation about what bravery really looks like.
Spoiler: it’s not the absence of fear. It’s showing up with it.
We unpack:
Why “confidence” is overrated and what to build instead
The power of gumption (and no, not the Aussie cleaning product kind—though that metaphor is hilariously spot-on)
How to “bust your buts” (yes, those buts—like “But I’m not ready…” or “But what if I fail?”)
Why cold plunging might be the secret weapon for facing discomfort (seriously)
And how to take action even when you’re shaking in your boots (or freezing in a tub)
This episode is your gentle (and slightly cheeky) kick in the pants to stop hiding with your fears—and start moving toward what you really want.
Tune in now and start flexing your bravery muscle—one gumption-powered step at a time.
