Courage and Courageous Moments

“Sometimes the bravest and most important thing you can do is just show up.” – Glennon Doyle

Courage isn’t loud. It’s not always a leap or a battle cry.

Sometimes—it’s a whisper. A moment. A breath. A choice to try again.

In this episode, we explore what it means to feel courageous—not perform it.

You’ll hear how joy isn’t the reward for perfection or assimilation, but a return to self.

We’ll talk about the neuroscience of safety and bravery, the myths of courage, and how small moments can be the bravest of all.

Whether you’re in the middle of a storm or just beginning to exhale again, this one’s for you.

In This Episode, You’ll Learn:

💡 The difference between doing courage and feeling courageous

💡 What Dr. Stephen Porges, Brené Brown, and Bessel van der Kolk say about safety, vulnerability, and joy

💡 3 trauma-informed ways to practice courage right now—no matter where you are on your healing journey

💡 That joy is not a reward—it’s a right
