What comes to your mind when you think of courage? You probably think of moments that are reserved for the few. Moments that we write books or make movies about. It’s the climax where someone finally stands against all the odds and overcomes a significant trial or adversity. But what if courage wasn’t just for those moments? What if courage wasn’t what happens at the end of a story but is found at the start of a journey? And not someone else’s journey - your journey. The truth is, you are more courageous than you think you are! No matter how insignificant and mundane life can feel sometimes, everything you do starts with courage! Join us, Catherine (@insecure_fitness) and Jen Burns (@jen.burnsrealtor) as we have conversations that release every Monday centered around this truth: it starts with courage!

    Courage To Embrace Grief | 059

    Grief is universal, something we will all experience at some point in our lived. Communal grieving offers something that we cannot get when we grieve by ourselves. Through validation, acknowledgement and witnessing, communal grieving allows us to experience a level of healing that is deeply and profoundly freeing. We need to begin to see grief not as foreign entity and not as an alien to be held down or caged up, but as a natural process. As the recipient of someone’s grief we also must understand that it is OK for someone to express pain. In today’s world, most of us carry grief and do not even know it. The consequences are that even with your most intimate and trustworthy friends you might feel like, “I am burdening them.” Crying in front of others is too often a forbidden fruit. We learn to compartmentalize our grief because expressing it in an unwelcoming place will only lead to more grief. We are taught that the people who are closest to us have no way of holding us when we fall apart. Each of us has a basic human right to that genuine love, happiness and freedom. Courage Starter After listening to this podcast, can you relate? Have you embraced grief? Are you prepared to step out of it?

    Seeds For Success | Does success breed success? | 057

    Success- What matters more, talent or hard work? Does success truly breed success? Have you ever met someone so successful in their field of business that it seems like they were born to do it? Some individuals make the entrepreneur life look so effortless that you start to wonder if it's in their DNA. In this episode Cat & Jen discuss the importance of early exposure as a stepping stone to success. Success in any field of life is not due to inborn traits.

    Your Personal Energy | 056

    What does your personal energy say about? Simply put, personal energy is the amount of stamina, vigour, or "juice" you have to complete a given task or engage in a particular activity. Your energy is an integral part of who you are and how you perceive the world. Energy awareness ensures that we pay attention to the things that are important to our happiness and well-being, while they are happening. Why is Energy Awareness Important? When you have low energy, it can affect your life in many ways: Physically – you may find it more difficult to work or do what you love. Emotionally – you may feel burdened by the demands of others and lash out at them, causing your relationships to suffer. Mentally – you may feel confused, make poor decisions, or let others decide things for you. Spiritually – your life may feel empty, hopeless or overwhelming. BUT when your energies are strong and healthy, your life improves dramatically! You have energy to spare. Your relationships become fun and joyful. Your love flows. Your mind is clear and decisive. Your sense of self expands and your creativity bubbles up with new ideas for self-expression. Life becomes exciting and meaningful. Courage Starter After listening to this podcast, what do you think your personal energy says about?We'd love to hear your success stories. Reach out to us on social media or via our website.
