What is The Daring Way™?

I am a Certified Daring Way™ Facilitato (CDWF). The Daring Way™ is a highly experiential methodology based on the research of Dr. Brené Brown (see below for more information). The method was developed to help men, women, and adolescents learn how to show up, be seen, and live braver lives. The primary focus is on developing shame resilience skills and developing a courage practice that transforms the way we live, love, parent, and lead. It can be facilitated in clinical, educational, and professional settings and is suitable for work with individuals, couples, families, work teams, and organizational leaders.

Ms. Rarich chose to pursue this training as it provides strong insights to values clarifications, building trust and connection, boundaries, courage and resilience. For a glimpse at some of the topics and content covered by these types of training, check out the "Call to Courage" on Netflix.
