Source URL:: <https://www.wbur.org/dearsugar/2016/07/13/dear-sugar-episode-sixty-one>
The Sugars record the show in front of a live audience at Revolution Hall in Portland, OR. In Part 1, they talk reinvention with the writer Lidia Yuknavitch, asking: "How can we treat our mistakes as opportunities for growth, rather than moments of total self-destruction?"
### Notes
“I am not afraid, that fear is just one little piece of me. What I am is the person who walks through this fear. And not let fear be what tells me what to do or limits my ability of what to do” Cheryl Strayed
“We view courage to be the absence of fear. That’s fucking bullshit. Courage is living with fear and acting despite at the same time being afraid.” Steve Almond
