Coaching

I know what it’s like to have big dreams—and to feel paralyzed by fear. We tell ourselves, “It’s not the right time,” or “It’s not possible for me.” But what if the only thing standing between you and your bold next step is the courage to start?

In 2022, I created my first Bottle of Courage while waiting to hear if Warm Hearts Sauna would receive funding. I was so sure we’d get it that I bought a bottle of bubbles, glued a picture of a floating sauna on it, and took it to the announcement, ready to pop it in celebration.

Well… we didn’t get the funding.

Disappointed but determined, I put the bottle in my fridge and told myself: One day, we’ll pop this. It stayed there—visible as a daily reminder, cold because success could come any day. Seven months later, we got funded.

That moment turned into one of my signature coaching exercises. Today, my Bottle of Courage exercise helps people define their goals, face their fears, and create their own bottle—ready to pop when they achieve what once felt impossible.
