Every Monday, unconventional couragemakers all over the world share their stories, their advice and their dreams as we have honest conversations about everyday courage, living a wholehearted life and dream chasing. We’ve figured out what we don’t want in life, now we’re figuring out what we do want. And we talk about the things that make us feel on fire as well as the monsters that hide under our beds. Couragemakers is brought to you by Meg Kissack of That Hummingbird Life. Because everything changes when you believe you matter. Let’s shake things up together. Warning: contains courage, vulnerability and a desire to leave the world a brighter place than how we found it.

The Couragemakers Podcast is a podcast that offers encouragement, inspiration, and rebel rousing for mission-driven doers, makers, and shakers. It is hosted by Meg Kissack, who has a genuine and down-to-earth approach to life and creativity. This podcast has been incredibly helpful for me during tough times, as it provides a sense of community and reminds me that I'm not alone in my struggles. Meg's interviews cut to the heart of the matter, with guests sharing both the good and the bad in their journeys. This authenticity is refreshing and makes the podcast approachable.
One of the best aspects of The Couragemakers Podcast is the variety of guests that Meg brings on. They come from different backgrounds and pursue different paths in life, but they all share their stories with honesty and vulnerability. Listening to these conversations feels like eavesdropping on meaningful conversations between friends. The podcast also provides insightful advice and information that is helpful to anyone who listens, regardless of where they are on their own journey.
One potential downside of this podcast is that there are currently only four episodes available. While each episode is packed with inspiration and motivation, I found myself hungry for more content. Hopefully, more episodes will be released soon to satisfy this craving for more.
In conclusion, The Couragemakers Podcast is an exceptional podcast that offers encouragement, inspiration, and rebel rousing for mission-driven individuals. It provides a sense of community and reminds listeners that they are not alone in their struggles. Meg's genuine approach and her ability to bring out authentic conversations make this podcast a must-listen for anyone seeking creative inspiration or a gentle nudge to embrace their inner rebel. Despite its limited number of episodes currently available, The Couragemakers Podcast has already made a significant impact on its listeners and promises to continue doing so in future episodes.
