Ep 15 - Rise Anyway: Embracing Courage in Tough Times

In this episode of the Empowered Self podcast, host Krystal Long discusses the theme of rising with courage during challenging times. Drawing inspiration from Brene Brown, she emphasises that true courage is often quiet and messy, and it involves showing up authentically even when one feels vulnerable. Krystal shares personal experiences and insights on how to navigate through life's heaviness, reminding listeners that they are worthy and capable of rising, no matter the circumstances.
