More About Rhonda Britten

You can count on Rhonda for a listening ear, a kick in the butt, and a hug when you need it.

And she has learned about fear the hard way.

Her favorite thing to do is help the world get fearless (psst: business owners have TONS of hidden silent seductive fears!) and she has done it for millions of people as an Emmy Award-winner, Repeat Oprah guest, Master Coach and standing-ovation-guaranteed keynote speaker. She has changed lives in over 600 episodes of reality television, is the author of four bestsellers including her seminal work, “Fearless Living”and is the Founder of the Fearless Living Institute, home of the Ivy League of Life Coaching Training. (Oh and don’t ask her about coaching certifications unless you want to know what she REALLY thinks!)

Named “America’s Favorite Life Coach,” she brings the neuroscience of fear down to earth giving you a path out of “not being good enough” using the “Wheels” technology she developed that saved her own life.

Ask her about books, speaking, television, coaching, training, podcasts…or anything else that strikes your fancy. Oh and you’ve just met your biggest cheerleader!
