Have you ever felt like you're just not enough?

In this heartfelt episode, Brian R. King welcomes courage coach and author Bernice McDonald, who shares her powerful journey of overcoming fear, shame, and the long-held belief that she wasn’t good enough. With stories that span decades- from childhood classroom trauma to adult self-worth battles- Bernice invites listeners into the truth behind emotional eating, fear of judgment, and the courage it takes to heal generational pain.

Together, they unpack:

• How fear masks itself as protection but keeps us from growing

• The origin of the “not good enough” message and how it’s passed through generations

• Tiny Brave Steps: the tool Bernice teaches to reclaim courage one small decision at a time

• Parenting through legacy—what it means to model courage, not just talk about it

Bernice’s message is clear: you are enough. And you don’t need to take a leap—just one tiny brave step.

• “Not good enough” often starts with just a few defining childhood moments.

• Fear doesn’t leave—it just needs to be moved to the backseat.

• When you're stuck, progress begins with the smallest act of bravery.

• The legacy we leave is rooted in how we show up and support—even when it's hard.
