Wake Up, Show Up & Shine
In the final race of her college track career, Cara Bradley beat her personal best by a remarkable six seconds.

Until then, Bradley had been a so-so athlete hampered by pre-race jitters and self-doubt. But, on this day Bradley was buoyed by a sense of calm confidence. She set about understanding how she could replicate this experience in every area of life.

She has distilled what she found into four practices, four shift strategies, and a series of gut-check reminders for moving out of over-thinking and over-doing and into being fully awake and alive, clear, bright, and confident.

These techniques for settling busy mind, putting body and mind in sync, and cultivating awareness and strength are simple but require practice and attention, which Bradley coaches individuals to apply daily.

The reward is what she calls "high definition, high voltage living," the ability to experience what Bradley did on the track not by accident, or in only a few memorable moments but on purpose, every single day.

Listen in as Bradley joins hosts Andrea and Lisa to share more about her work, as well as tips from her book, On the Verge: Wake Up, Show Up, and Shine.
