    How Celtic Folklore Inspired a YA Fantasy Series with author K.T. Anglehart #YAurbanfantasy

    Today on Let Fear Bounce, I’m so happy to welcome back K.T. Anglehart! K.T. is an award-winning Canadian author of YA urban fantasy inspired by Celtic folklore, modern mysticism, and the magic of the natural world. Her debut novel won an international paranormal fiction award, was named an Editor’s Pick by Publishers Weekly, and grew into The Scottish Scrolls trilogy, featured at literary festivals including the South Dakota Festival of Books. Her work explores identity, belonging, and those beautifully complicated gray areas of life — all through rich, character-driven storytelling. When she’s not writing or leading workshops, she runs a metaphysical supplies shop and is happily bossed around by her rescue dog and two bunnies.

    Butterfly Goo: Why Real Transformation Gets Messy-Rachel Burr, Author

    What if transformation isn’t meant to be pretty? In this episode, I sit down with executive coach and author Rachel Burr to discuss her bold, refreshingly honest new book, Butterfly Goo: The Down-and-Dirty Truth of Transformation. Instead of chasing the polished “glow-up,” Rachel challenges us to embrace the messy, uncomfortable middle, the “goo” stage, where real growth actually happens. With more than 20 years of experience guiding leaders and professionals, Rachel blends humor, personal stories, and practical exercises to help us navigate change with authenticity and courage. We talk about leadership, identity, breaking free from expectations, and why falling apart can sometimes be the first step to becoming something stronger. If you’re in the middle of a transition, feeling stuck, or leading others through change, this conversation will remind you that the mess isn’t failure, it’s transformation in motion. Watch, listen, and don’t forget to subscribe for more conversations that help you let fear bounce and step into your next chapter.

    Shattering Silence-Breaking Generational Quiet with Darlene Lekowski S6 EPS4

    Darlene Lekowski is a survivor, speaker, advocate, and business leader who transformed her decades of pain into hope and healing—for herself and others. After fifty years of silence about the sibling sexual trauma and abuse (SSTA) she endured as a child, she found the courage to speak her truth, winning the civil lawsuit brought against her by her own brother. To shatter the silence. Her debut memoir (pub date April 2026), Shattering Silence: A Story of Survival, Justice and the Power of Telling the Truth, chronicles her journey through trauma, resilience, and healing, and the courage it takes to let go in order to live forward. With raw honesty, she reveals not only what she endured and how it affected her, but also the strength it took to rise above it. Beyond her advocacy, Darlene has built a distinguished career in banking and sales, where her leadership and integrity now guide her work supporting fellow survivors. She speaks publicly about her journey and partners with organizations worldwide, including 5WAVES, Thriving Survivors, Blue Borage, SSTA Aware, AILA, and A Brave Step, to raise awareness and give voice to all survivors. She lives in the Charlotte, NC, suburbs with her husband, Tom, and their dog, Pepper, and is the proud mother of three adult children.
