Life Expands in Proportion to One's Courage: the wisdom of Anaïs Nin

Description

In this episode, we’re diving into the world of Anaïs Nin and one of her most striking quotes: “Life shrinks or expands in proportion to one’s courage.”

Spoiler: Courage isn’t always some epic, movie moment. Sometimes, it's as simple as awkwardly telling the barista they messed up your coffee. But those little acts of courage? They add up to something bigger.

Anaïs Nin didn’t wait around for life to happen. She took risks, lived unconventionally, and wrote about all of it—sometimes in ways that would’ve made her contemporaries clutch their pearls.

If your life feels like it’s stuck on the shrink setting, maybe it’s time to explore how to stretch it back out again, one small act at a time.
