The Financial Coconut Podcast The Financial Coconut

Ever feel like you just can't muster the courage to make a major life change, even though you know you need to? Whether you're stuck in a career rut, going through a tough transition, or simply feeling lost and purposeless, finding your inner bravery is crucial.
This week on the Financial Coconut Podcast, we're getting real about courage - how to tap into it during life's most trying times when giving up feels like the easy option. Our extraordinary guest is Kai Ning, Co-Founder of The Courage Chapter, an organisation that helps professionals start meaningful "second chapters."
Kai Ning shares incredible stories of reinvention from those who summoned their reserves of courage against all odds. You'll hear motivating examples like the high-powered executive who stepped off the corporate ladder at her peak to explore a daring new path.
We discuss practical strategies for building the bravery muscle gradually through "micro-courages." And Kai Ning reveals how companies can also find the courage to embrace non-traditional staffing models that capitalize on senior talent.
Whether you're in crisis mode or just craving more fulfillment, this candid conversation will inspire you to face your fears head-on. Tune in for a heavy dose of courage to spark your own boldest life changes! You've got this.
