Welcome back to New View Advice! After taking a short break, I’m excited to return with an episode all about courage. In this episode I share – What is courage? What does it really mean?Why is courage important for the healing journey?Why do so many of us struggle to be courageous even though we know we want to be brave?4 Steps for stepping towards courage todayThis episode is inspired by my own life. Recently, I’ve noticed that many loud and performative people are labeled as courageous, and I’ve found myself wondering – is that true courage? And if not, what is true courage? So in this episode we discuss how  I believe true courage is often quiet and vulnerable. It shows up in those small, everyday moments—like feeling your feelings, setting boundaries, or choosing to show up for yourself even when it’s hard.I hope this episode helps you to see you’re more courageous than you know, and helps you to continue on the brave path of healing and following your heart.🕓 TimestampsIntroduction :05Courage Discussion 3:50Outro: 30:41🔗 Today's Episode Show Notes: newviewadvice.com/140❤️ More Resources from New View Advice: https://www.newviewadvice.com/ I am no longer accepting new questions for the podcast, but if you’d like to reach out, you can still email me at newviewadvice@gmail.com.
