How to Dream Bigger and Make Friends with Fear: The Bigger, Bolder, Badass Framework

What might become possible if you allowed yourself to dream beyond the limits of your current reality? In this episode of *Surfing Your Edge*, Kristine introduces the Bigger, Bolder, Badass framework—the coaching model she created to help people imagine more for their lives, navigate the inner voices that try to keep them safe, and take meaningful action without waiting for fear to disappear. You’ll explore what it means to dream bigger than you have previously allowed yourself to dream, transform your relationship with your inner critic, and redefine what it means to be a badass: becoming the fullest expression of who you are without apologizing for it. Kristine also shares why fear does not always mean you should stop, how small life experiments can expand your comfort zone, and why failure can be useful information rather than proof that you should give up. This episode is for anyone ready to approach growth with more courage, curiosity, authenticity, joy, and possibility. **Free Gift** Surf Your Edge: From Fear to Freedom - This complete chapter from *Confident You: The Raw Conversations* traces two adventures, twenty years apart, and explores fear, identity, and why the real work of a life-changing experience begins after you come home. https://dedicated-creator-3091.kit.com/dfd03cb4d1 **The Shift Beneath the Words:** - Dream Bigger Than Your Current Reality - Make Friends With Your Fear - Being a Badass Means Being Authentically Yourself - Growth Is a Continuous Process - Experiment, Embrace Failure, and Enjoy the Journey Together, these five ideas reinforce the central message of the episode: growth happens when you dream boldly, face fear with courage, embrace your authentic self, and continually choose curiosity and experimentation over staying comfortable. **About the Host:** Kristine Goad is endlessly curious about the moment when “I could never” becomes “What if I tried?” As the Surfing Your Edge Coach, her work centers on transforming our relationship with fear, trusting ourselves more deeply, and creating lives that feel bigger, bolder, and more fully our own. Her approach blends coaching, mental fitness, adventure, experimentation, and wonder—shaped by a life that has included bicycling across America, writing a memoir, building a business, and taking surf lessons to overcome her fear of open water in her late 40s. She is less interested in fearless living than in what becomes possible when we get curious about the things that scare us. **Connect with Kristine:** Substack: kristine.substack.com Facebook: www.facebook.com/kristinegoad LinkedIn: www.linkedin.com/in/kristinegoad Instagram: www.instagram.com/kristine.goad YouTube: www.youtube.com/@KristineGoad Website: kristinegoad.com Download your free gift: ***Surf Your Edge: From Fear to Freedom*** This complete chapter from *Confident You: The Raw Conversations* traces two adventures, twenty years apart, and explores fear, identity, and why the real work of a life-changing experience begins after you come home.
