What comes to your mind when you think of courage? You probably think of moments that are reserved for the few. Moments that we write books or make movies about. It’s the climax where someone finally stands against all the odds and overcomes a significant trial or adversity. But what if courage wasn’t just for those moments? What if courage wasn’t what happens at the end of a story but is found at the start of a journey? And not someone else’s journey - your journey. The truth is, you are more courageous than you think you are! No matter how insignificant and mundane life can feel sometimes, everything you do starts with courage! Join us, Catherine (@insecure_fitness) and Jen Burns (@jen.burnsrealtor) as we have conversations that release every Monday centered around this truth: it starts with courage!
