Episode notes
Courage Is Heartfelt Vulnerability
- Courage often means sharing your true self, not heroic fearlessness.
- Being honest about pain builds connection and helps process emotion.
Act Despite Fear
- When fear exists, act anyway because courage requires fear to be meaningful.
- Treat emotions as data, listen to them, then choose action rather than react impulsively.
Choose Your Response Deliberately
- Remind yourself you always have a choice in how to react and refuse victimhood.
- Use affirmations like "I am not a victim" to reclaim agency during hardship.
