  Episode 47: What Does Courage Actually Look Like? 16.09.2026 51мин

  What does it actually mean to be courageous? This week on Here For All Of It, we're talking about courage, inspired by one of our favorite leadership books, Dare to Lead. We're breaking down the difference between bravery and courage, and why courage often looks a lot less dramatic than you think. We get into the moments that have required the most courage in our own lives, from moving in together and telling family about our relationship to saying no, having hard conversations, and asking for what we need. We're also talking about the "armor" we put on when we're afraid, what we weren't courageous enough to do at 25, and where we still need more courage today. Turns out, courage isn't something you master. You just keep practicing it.
