"Includes an audiobook-exclusive interview of the author in conversation with motivational speaker and author Abby Rike!
Why are so many of us simply surviving our days rather than creating a life we love? We tell ourselves we are too busy to pursue our dreams. But what if the real reason we're putting off our goals is fear? The fear that we're not good enough, not smart enough, not talented enough. The fear that others might laugh at us. The fear that we'll fail.
In Do It Scared, popular blogger and podcast host Ruth Soukup reminds us that true courage means taking action despite our fears. True courage means doing it scared.
In this book, you and Ruth will…
- Identify the type of fear that keeps you stuck, and learn how to conquer it.

"In 2006, Abby Rike lost the life she knew and loved when her husband and two young children were killed in a car accident. Devastated and numb, she shut down. For nearly three years she walked through life like a spectre, present in body only. As she descended, so did her health.
Fortunately, Abby was not alone. She had loving parents, supportive friends, and a faith that continued to sustain her. Little by little she found the courage to return to life. Joining The Biggest Loser proved a catalyst for the physical and emotional changes she needed to make. In fact, against all odds Abby gained strength, courage, wisdom, and continued her steadfast relationship with God. Instead of anger, she found herself slowly but steadily healing. She lost a hundred pounds but gained hope.
In this riveting book, Abby tells her story -- from her joyous life before the accident to the unbearable pain that followed it and her eventual emergence as a woman reinvigorated by her faith in God. Today Abby's resilience and positivity are a testament to the power and importance of faith in the darkest hours."
