10 ways to develop a growth mindset

Simple Brave Thinking Practices that Rewire Your Brain (and Life)

There’s a moment in personal development most people experience, but rarely talk about.

It’s the realization that maybe… just maybe… the way you’ve been thinking isn’t actually the truth. Perhaps, the way you’ve been taught to view yourself or the world isn’t accurate.

Up until that point, most people get used to hearing a voice in your mind that says things like:

  • “I’m not ready.”
  • “This is just how I am.”
  • “I can’t do that.”

How Long Does The Honeymoon Phase Last? (And Why That’s the Wrong Question)

By: Mat Boggs

Updated: March 25, 2026

how long does the honeymoon phase last

TL;DR — THE SHORT ANSWER

The honeymoon phase typically lasts anywhere from a few months to two years, but asking “how long” misses the point entirely. In Brave Thinking, we understand that love isn’t meant to be fleeting—it’s meant to evolve. The real question isn’t whether the initial glow will fade, but how you can consciously create deeper, more meaningful connection as your relationship grows. Love is not a phase you fall into; it’s a spiritual frequency you generate by design.

What separates those who dream about a thriving coaching career from those who actually build one?

Whether they would ever admit it or not, many believe that the answer is luck. Right place, right time, and poof, success.

Yet in all our years training and certifying life coaches, a different answer has emerged.

The coaches who reach the top of this profession are those who master three core ingredients: confidence, clarity, and clients. 

And believe it or not, each of these ingredients can be deliberately nurtured right now.

How to Be More Confident: The Brave Thinking Approach to Being Unapologetically You

By: Mary Morrissey

Updated: March 4, 2026

how to be more confident

In Brave Thinking, confidence is not something you are born with or need to earn through external means.

Confidence is a spiritual inheritance. A natural result of aligning with your True Self. The part of you that is whole, worthy, and powerful right now, regardless of circumstances.

It’s not about being loud or brash. It’s about being grounded in your own truth, and trusting that who you are is enough even as you are becoming more.
Mary Morrissey teaches that true confidence doesn’t come from past achievements. It comes from your vision and your decision…

Updated: March 3, 2026

There are two kinds of people who typically explore a coaching career.

Some of them wonder if coaching is something they “could do.” As in: “I wonder if that might be a way to earn some extra money. Maybe I could do it.”

This group is in a fortunate position. Their inner knowing gives them the confidence to start their careers and become highly successful.
