The Couragecast

"Courage taught me how to survive. Alignment is teaching me how to live." After almost a decade, The Couragecast is entering a sacred transition. In this episode, I share the heart behind the closing of the courage season—not as a goodbye rooted in loss, but as a completion rooted in truth. Courage carried me through burnout, life transitions, leaving ministry, deconstructing faith, building a business, and learning how to choose myself. But courage, as a way of leading and living, no longer fits who I am becoming. This conversation is an honest reflection on the evolution from fear-led courage to soul-led alignment. It's about outgrowing survival mode, releasing identities that once kept us safe, and learning how to live—and lead—from embodiment, intuition, and trust. In this episode we explore: Why courage was necessary for survival—but not for this next chapter The difference between fear-based bravery and soul-led alignment How survival leadership shows up in the body and nervous system Letting go of hustle, urgency, and proving What it means to move from surviving to truly living A gentle somatic reflection to honor completion and emergence This episode includes a simple embodied pause to help you reflect on what feels complete in your own life and what is ready to be released so you can soften into what's emerging next. "Courage built the bridge. Alignment builds the home." How to Work With Me: I work with intuitive, high-capacity women who are transitioning out of survival mode and into embodied, soul-led leadership.
