Becoming Brave, by Katie Dean Becoming Brave is the highly anticipated first book by Newcastle writer and entrepreneur Katie Dean.

The book puts you back in the driver’s seat of your life and encourages a life lived on your terms, filled with confidence, the occasional cuss word and the ability to turn things around when the chips are down. Becoming Brave is an honest snapshot into a world where it’s possible to thrive with anxiety. A book that encourages the courageousness to be both brave and vulnerable and celebrates sensitivity as a superpower. Katie Dean is the founder of YOUR WILD LIFE and not your typical motivational coach or a typical anything. She’s written Becoming Brave for other women like her: sassy women pursuing a path to creativity, spirituality and a life-loved even when that path is wildly messy.
