ABOUT THIS EPISODE
The story suggests that courage feels powerful, but we bust that myth in this conversation.
We talk about why acting in the presence of fear is the real definition of courage, how avoidance quietly shrinks your life, and why expanding your capacity to feel discomfort is the gateway to freedom. From night swimming to skydiving to awkward social risks, we unpack how fear is often more about protecting identity than actual survival—and how moving through it opens up your world.
We also dive into practical ways to build courage.
