What if the key to overcoming your biggest fears and stepping into your next level wasn’t about doing more—but about doing it anyway?

In this episode of WTF: Where’s the Fun?, we’re pulling back the curtain on one of our favourite mantras: “Do It Anyways.” It’s not just a saying for us—it’s a way of life.

We’re sharing how this mindset has helped us navigate fears of judgment, unexpected obstacles, and those moments when quitting felt easier.

We’re also taking you behind the scenes of our mini-fun experience—a one-day event that almost didn’t happen thanks to a snowstorm. (Spoiler: It ended up being one of the most magical days ever!) We talk about the power of staying aligned with your heart, even when external circumstances try to throw you off course.

In this episode, we explore:

✨ How we’ve turned fear of judgment into fuel for growth.

✨ The wild story of how a snowstorm taught us to let go of control and trust the process.

✨ Why showing up with your whole heart is the ultimate key to success.

✨ Practical tips for doing the scary thing—even when it doesn’t make sense.
