You’ve spent years taking care of everyone else. But somewhere along the way, you may have stopped asking, “What about me?” That’s where courage in midlife shows up.
In Episode 268, How Small Acts of Courage Build Midlife Confidence, we explore why midlife confidence doesn’t always come first. Sometimes, you have to take the small brave step before you feel ready.
I talk with Katherine Leamy, The 5 Kilo Traveler, about how small acts of courage can help you trust yourself again and get unstuck in midlife.
Katherine shares how a planned girls’ trip turned into her first solo adventure—and why saying yes to herself changed far more than the way she traveled.
We talk about the fear that can keep women stuck, the voices that tell us we can’t, and why you don’t have to feel confident before you take the first step.
268. How Small Acts of Courage Build Midlife Confidence
You’ll discover how small brave choices can help you:
Build midlife confidence through action
Move through fear and self-doubt
Trust yourself to make your own decisions
Stop waiting until you feel “ready”
Get unstuck without making one huge life change
Because courage doesn’t always look like getting on a plane by yourself.
Sometimes it’s simply deciding that what you want matters, too.
