    Brave is a Verb: Living the Dream at Any Age

    In this episode of Brave & Becoming, Kimberly sits down with Ral West, a bold entrepreneur from Sitka, Alaska, whose story proves that bravery knows no age limit. From growing up in the land of gold rush legends to co-founding a company later sold to Alaska Airlines, Ral has spent her life chasing possibility and creating it. But this conversation goes beyond business. Ral opens up about confronting fear, climbing a 50-foot pole at Tony Robbins’ retreat (even though she’s terrified of heights), and walking across hot coals, LITERALLY. She shares how she balances courage with compassion, faith with ambition, and why she refuses to “retire” when there’s still so much life to live.

    Betting on Yourself: How Small Steps Lead to Big Miracles

    In this episode of Brave & Becoming, Kimberly sits down with business and tech coach Heather Nielsen, who shares what it truly means to be brave—from watching her daughter walk into school alone to courageously reaching out to Elizabeth Smart’s agent for her upcoming Divine Daughter event. Heather opens up about facing fear, trusting her intuition, and what it means to bet on yourself even when doubt creeps in. She talks about those quiet spiritual nudges that remind her to keep going, how journaling grounds her, and the tiny wins that build lasting confidence. Together, Kimberly and Heather explore the balance between family and ambition, how to handle fear in business, and why bravery is rarely loud—it’s the consistent choice to keep showing up for your purpose.
