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.
