    42| Marlene Hughett's Story, Emergency Brain Tumor Surgery and Finding Courage in Uncertainty

    What does courage look like when life suddenly changes? In this episode of the Being Brave Tour Podcast, Karen Rae sits down with Marlene Hughett, a women’s health advocate and resilience mentor, to talk about the quiet kind of bravery that appears when life takes an unexpected turn. Marlene shares the moment her life shifted overnight when she was told she needed emergency brain surgery with almost no time to prepare. In a situation where there were no answers, no plans, and no certainty, she discovered a deeper kind of courage — one rooted in trust, faith, and presence. Together, Karen and Marlene explore what it means to live everyday brave, especially in seasons of uncertainty. In this conversation we explore: • How courage often shows up quietly rather than boldly • Learning to trust your body and inner wisdom • Finding strength when life changes without warning • The power of faith and presence during uncertainty • Why women’s stories of resilience matter Marlene now uses her experiences to support and encourage women navigating health challenges, life transitions, and moments of uncertainty, reminding them that courage is not about controlling the future — it’s about showing up in the present. Inside the #Celebrating1mWomen movement, we believe every story of courage creates a ripple for another woman. Because sometimes the bravest thing we can do… is simply trust the next step. *Special thank you to Laurie Hardie Podcast Coach and creator of 7 Day Podcast Pro Program for helping the Being Brave Tour come to life! http://www.coachlaurie.com/ A Gift for YOU - New Special Edition Magazine with The Women of the Shine Circle Take a little "Me Time" with a direct download (no email required)  https://heyzine.com/flip-book/3df657ed4c.html Visit Being Brave Tour at www.favelifestyles.app Connect with Karen to see how your resources to help women take their next brave step can be featured on our app or digital publication at Karen@favelifestyles.com

    44|When You’re Told It’s Impossible: Trusting Your Inner Voice, Overcoming Infertility & Choosing to Believe | Miranda Mathewson

    What do you do… when you’re told something your heart longs for may never be possible? In this deeply moving conversation, I sit down with Miranda Mathewson, who shares the moment her doctor told her she could never have children… and the quiet, unwavering voice within her that chose to believe otherwise. This is a story of perseverance, trust, and listening to that inner knowing—even when the world gives you a different outcome. ✨ As you listen, you may find yourself: • Reflecting on a time you were asked to accept something that didn’t feel true for you • Reconnecting with the voice within that knows… even when it doesn’t make sense • Feeling inspired by the power of determination and quiet courage • Remembering that your path doesn’t have to follow anyone else’s timeline Miranda’s journey didn’t just lead to one miracle… but two—through trust, resilience, and a deep belief in what was possible for her life. On the Being Brave Tour, we celebrate these moments—the ones that happen behind the scenes, where a woman chooses to keep going, to believe, and to honor what she feels called to. Because every story matters. And every brave step creates possibility for another woman. 🤍 This conversation is part of the #Celebrating1mWomen ~ Being Brave Movement—honoring the ripple effect of women sharing their stories. *Special thank you to Laurie Hardie, Podcast Coach and creator of 7 Day Podcast Pro Program for helping the Being Brave Tour come to life! http://www.coachlaurie.com/ A Gift for YOU - New Special Edition Magazine with The Women of the Shine Circle Take a little "Me Time" with a direct download (now email required)  Being Brave Tour Magazine - Free Copy https://heyzine.com/flip-book/1439092913.html Visit Being Brave Tour Magazine and Podcasst at www.favelifestyles.app Connect with Karen to see how your resources to help women take their next brave step can be featured on our app or digital publication at Karen@favelifestyles.com
