    56| From Stuck to Playfully Alive, Yvonne Marches's Story

    What if the path to healing and rediscovering yourself didn’t have to feel so serious all the time? 🤍 In this playful, heartfelt, and deeply honest conversation with Yvonne Marchese shares her inspiring journey of rediscovering joy, creativity, and herself again through the power of playfulness. Together, they explore the beauty of midlife reinvention, healing, courage, creativity, and learning how to reconnect with the parts of yourself that may have been tucked away for years while caring for everyone else. Yvonne shares why playfulness isn’t frivolous — it’s powerful. It’s a doorway back to joy, curiosity, creativity, self-trust, and feeling alive again. This conversation is for the woman who has been carrying the weight of life for a long time and is quietly wondering: ✨ What lights me up now? ✨ What if I’m not done yet? ✨ What if joy and play are actually part of my healing?

    55|What if Communication Could Feel Light and Refreshing with Laurie Thibert

    What if communication didn’t have to feel so heavy? 🤍 In this heartfelt conversation on the Being Brave Tour Podcast, Karen Rae sits down with relationship development specialist Laurie Thibert to explore a refreshing new perspective on communication, connection, and the relationships we carry every single day. Together, they talk about what begins to shift when we approach hard conversations with a little more grace, intention, and curiosity instead of fear and defensiveness. Laurie shares her beautiful “THE CATER Theory” — the idea that when we intentionally nurture and care for our relationships, they can become lighter, healthier, and more fulfilling than we often imagine. This conversation is an invitation for women to pause, breathe, reflect, and experience relationships in a new way… not only with others, but also with themselves. Women can also follow along with Laurie’s reflection and feature inside the Being Brave Tour Magazine while listening for a deeper experience. ✨ One brave conversation at a time. “Relationships begin to feel lighter when we stop trying to win the conversation and start trying to understand each other.” — Laurie Thibert About Laurie: Laurie Thibert is a business leader, relationship specialist, and founder of Aligned Insights Matter™, where she helps organizations develop high-trust, high-performing teams. Her core belief is that whether in the boardroom or the living room, high-quality relationships are built when the relational fabric is intentionally strengthened. Laurie's bestselling book, The CATR Theory™ (CATR: is pronounced "cater"), offers a clear, human-centered framework for understanding what truly makes relationships thrive — and how to repair them when cracks begin to form. Grounded in four foundational principles — Communication, Accountability, Trust, and Respect — the CATR approach applies equally to professional teams and personal connections, giving individuals practical tools to strengthen marriages, friendships, and family bonds with the same intentionality they bring to the workplace.

    54|Unlock Your Hidden Story with Kathy Sparrow, Literary Midwife

    What story have you been carrying? As a little girl, Kathy Sparrow knew she wanted to be a writer. Then one sentence from a guidance counselor changed everything: "You'll never be a writer." For years, she believed those words. Today, after more than 30 years of helping others tell their stories, Kathy has discovered something extraordinary: the stories we are most afraid to write are often the ones that bring the deepest healing. In this heartfelt conversation, Kathy shares how writing can help us uncover the stories within our stories, release what we've been carrying, and see our lives through new eyes. Whether you dream of writing a book or simply want to better understand your own journey, this episode is an invitation to slow down, listen to your heart, and discover the beauty already waiting within your story. Because sometimes the most important story you'll ever write... is your own. *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/1439092913.html Visit Being Brave Tour Magazine www.beingbravetour.com 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

    59|Grab Your Coffee Girlfriend, We Are Taking Time to Celebrate!

    Hey Girlfriend, What happens when a group of women gather around a virtual coffee table to celebrate courage, wisdom, and the power of sharing our stories?   That was the heart of today's Being Brave Tour Magazine launch celebration. As we chatted, a few beautiful thoughts kept surfacing: "Courage is just fear walking forward." "Women supporting women is a powerhouse." "It's an experience, not an explanation." "We want women to feel like they're getting a hug." More than a magazine, this is an invitation to pause. To grab your coffee. To sit on the couch. To take a little "me time." To reflect on your journey and remember that you are not walking it alone. Thank you Deanna Nowadnick - Author/Speaker, Jackie Cote, Joanie Elizabeth, Donita Wheeler and Jodi Schilling Coaching for joining me and celebrating the launch on Amazon! Start your experience here: https://bit.ly/4umz3bQ One of my favorite moments was hearing the women talk about what they hope readers experience: feeling seen, valued, encouraged, supported, and reminded of their own strength.   Because sometimes the words we need most are waiting inside another woman's story. Thank you to every contributor, mentor, supporter, and woman who continues to believe in this beautiful journey.
