In this episode, Chris and Jen explore what bravery really means—and why being brave often doesn’t feel brave at all. They unpack the difference between feeling brave and acting bravely, sharing personal stories of moments where doing the right thing came with discomfort, fear, or a real cost.
The conversation challenges the idea that bravery is about confidence or fearlessness, reframing it instead as doing what you know you must, even when it’s hard, uncertain, or uncomfortable. Through reflection, vulnerability, and compassion, they discuss how bravery fuels personal growth, meaningful change, and deeper self-trust—especially when things don’t go perfectly.
