Podcasts about Courage

Paul Simon's bittersweet lyrics set the stage for this raw and funny exploration of why even life-changing insights often slip through our fingers. Raghunath and Kaustubha unpack the slippery nature of spiritual determination — and how each of us can make the simple but bold choice to live a meaningful life before the clock runs out. This episode blends music, humor, and timeless wisdom from the Śrīmad-Bhāgavatam. Highlights include: •⁠  ⁠What Paul Simon teaches us about missing our moment •⁠  ⁠How Kamsa fell back into old ways after glimpsing wisdom — and why we do too •⁠  ⁠Why meaning matters more than magnitude in what we do •⁠  ⁠The elements of a Vishnu-centered society — and the surprising roles of cows and brahmanas Don't let your breakthroughs slip away — tune in now!

This week on SUPERWOMEN, I sat down with Julianne Fraser, founder and CEO of Dialogue NYC, a marketing and strategy consultancy bridging the gap between purpose-driven brands and the ever-evolving world of digital influence. With a deep understanding of the influencer and social media marketing space, Julianne built Dialogue on the belief that influence should be rooted in authenticity and trust, not just reach. Her work centers on crafting intentional campaigns that align brands with creators who genuinely reflect their values and cultivate long-term loyalty.Before launching Dialogue in 2017, Julianne built a career across top agencies and startups, where she noticed a recurring pattern: brands chasing fast, surface-level partnerships without investing in real connections or storytelling. However, she knew this was a key part to thoughtful content strategy. Drawing from years of experience across both traditional and emerging platforms, Julianne developed a vision for a more thoughtful approach to influencer marketing, one that prioritized relationship-building, creative alignment and lasting impact. With that mindset, she stepped out on her own and began building the foundation for what would become a trusted consultancy grounded in purpose and perspective.In this episode, Julianne shares what it's been like to grow a company in an industry that rarely slows down. From building trust with creators to managing rapid shifts in the digital landscape, she reflects on the importance of boundaries, long-term thinking and protecting the integrity of the brands she represents. We also talk about how she's built a business model that leaves space for real life, something she believes is critical to both creative energy and sustainable growth.Thank you for listening!

Welcome to The Daily, where we study the Bible verse by verse, chapter by chapter, every day. Today's shout-out goes to Daniel Guertin from Stillwater, MN. Thank you for your partnership with us through Project23. You're helping get God's Word to people in every season of life. This one's for you. Our text today is Mark 10:32-34: And they were on the road, going up to Jerusalem, and Jesus was walking ahead of them. And they were amazed, and those who followed were afraid. And taking the twelve again, he began to tell them what was to happen to him, saying, "See, we are going up to Jerusalem, and the Son of Man will be delivered over to the chief priests and the scribes, and they will condemn him to death and deliver him over to the Gentiles. And they will mock him and spit on him, and flog him and kill him. And after three days he will rise." — Mark 10:32-34 Jesus is leading the way up to Jerusalem—and he knows exactly what's waiting there. Condemnation. Betrayal. Mocking. Beatings. Crucifixion. And yet, he keeps walking ahead of the others. Burn that image into your minds. Most people run from pain. We try to escape it and remove it. Jesus walks steadily toward it, knowing it all, and endures to the end. He doesn't avoid the cross. He embraces it because love leads him forward. His pace isn't reluctant. It's resolved. This is the third time in Mark's Gospel that Jesus predicts his suffering and death. But this time, the details are even more vivid. He doesn't sugarcoat it. He doesn't leave it vague. He tells his followers plainly what's about to happen. And still, we see they don't fully get it. But Jesus does! He's not caught off guard. He's not a victim of circumstance. He's the Son of God on a mission. He is determined to redeem. Jesus knew—and still went. He knew the cost. He knew the pain. But he went… for you. Following Jesus means walking toward discomfort, not away from it. But that's the way of Christ. It's what we are called to do. To follow him anywhere and everywhere. Even though we don't know the suffering that lies ahead, we still follow. But we don't walk alone. We follow the One who went first—and who walked through death to bring us life. So, when you feel afraid of what lies ahead, remember this: Jesus has already walked that road—and He walks it with you now. God, the road we travel today is tough. It's filled with confusion, pain, and suffering. Some of it results from our sin, and some from the sins of others in this world. It's difficult to walk through it and keep following you. But we trust you and your guidance through the pain. In your name, we pray. Amen. #JesusLedTheWay, #CourageToFollow, #Project23 ASK THIS: What emotions does the image of Jesus “walking ahead” stir in you? Why do we sometimes hesitate to follow Jesus when the road looks difficult? How does knowing Jesus faced the cross change how you face your fears? What's one step of obedience you've been avoiding? DO THIS: Write down one area where you feel afraid to follow Jesus. Then ask Him to lead you forward with courage. PRAY THIS: Jesus, you knew the cross was coming—and you still chose to walk toward it. Help me trust you when obedience feels hard or costly. Amen. PLAY THIS: “Lead Me to the Cross."

This one's for you who's longing to be known. Today, we are joined by dear friends of The Grove— Rachel Baldwin, Kerri Stanfill, and Susan Robinson— for a vulnerable conversation about what it really means to be seen, loved, and surrounded by a real community.  But where do we begin? How do we create a space where people feel safe to be known — not only when we win, but also when we ache?Through wisdom and practical encouragement, Rachel, Kerri, and Susan invite us to go first — in vulnerability, in confession, in reaching out, in showing up. They discuss the power of presence, the courage it takes to initiate, and why we don't have to have it all together to start forming or maintaining our meaningful relationships. For the woman longing for deeper friendship but unsure where to begin, this episode is filled with grace and guidance for taking that first brave step.Whether you're flourishing in community or feeling forgotten on the sidelines, you'll leave this conversation reminded that you're not alone.

In this deeply personal episode of Spirit School, I share what it's really like to walk through massive life change while staying spiritually grounded. This is the messy, tender, transformative part of the journey we don't often talk about. I reflect on the signs Spirit gives us before change arrives, the discomfort that often pushes us forward, and what it feels like to be in the void - the space between who we were and who we're becoming. I also share stories I've never told before about stage fright, quitting my job, self-sabotage, and finally choosing courage over comfort. This episode includes a soft update on a life-changing experience I'm currently navigating. I'll be sharing more when the time is right, but for now, I hope this conversation helps you feel less alone in your own season of transition. If you've been struggling to stay centered while everything shifts, this one is for you. In this episode, I talk about: • The early signs of change (and why we often resist them) • What the void really is and how to move through it • My personal relationship with fear, visibility, and self-sabotage • The importance of spiritual tools that actually work when you're overwhelmed • Why it's okay to take up space even when it feels unfamiliar • A soft announcement about what's unfolding this summer Want to follow this journey in real time? Come join me inside the Spirit School Collective with our new limited-time Seasonal Pass. You'll receive exclusive weekly updates, behind-the-scenes reflections, group readings, and live teachings that support you during times of big spiritual and personal growth. If this episode resonated with you, I'd love if you left a review or shared it with someone else walking through change. We grow stronger when we walk together.

Welcome back to another episode of Ditch the Labcoat! This week, Dr. Mark Bonta is joined once again by the ever-insightful Dr. Dante Morra—innovator, internal medicine specialist, and the driving force behind the Can Health Network. In this wide-ranging conversation, they pull back the curtain on the current state and future of Canadian healthcare, tackling everything from the rise of AI-driven virtual care to the systemic issues clogging up our hospitals.Dr. Morra breaks down the four pillars of healthcare—catastrophic, chronic disease, episodic, and preventative—and reveals why technology and innovation are set to overhaul not only how care is delivered, but who's really in control. Together, they discuss why it's easier to buy alcohol and gamble than it is to book a physical exam, what it takes to nudge a population toward better health, and how Canadian-made solutions like virtual triage and optimized healthcare “front doors” could change the game.But most of all, this episode is about who will drive real change: not the policymakers or administrators, but people—patients, citizens, and entrepreneurs—who are tired of waiting, ready to take control, and brave enough to disrupt the system from the outside in. Whether you work in medicine, depend on it, or just want a preview of where our healthcare is headed, you'll leave with big ideas and plenty of hope for what's possible next. Plug in, listen up, and—as always—question everything.Episode Highlights1. Courage to Lead Change — Courage is essential to make necessary healthcare changes; everyone knows what to do, but few are willing to go first.2. Rise of AI in Care — AI surpasses traditional care in planned prevention, aggregating biomarkers and histories for optimized personal health plans.3. Healthcare's Four Categories — Understanding catastrophic, chronic, episodic, and preventative care clarifies where innovation and resources should be focused.4. Self-Directed Health Solutions — Technology empowers individuals to manage their healthcare directly, sometimes bypassing traditional systems entirely.5. Misaligned Incentives — Payment structures incentivize episodic and acute care over preventive or chronic care management, perpetuating system inefficiencies.6. Public vs Private Innovation — System transformation will likely come from private sector innovators, not within public institutions mired in political and structural inertia.7. Danger of Easy Vices — Society makes harmful behaviors like gambling and alcohol dangerously accessible, contributing significantly to declining population health.8. Canadian Healthcare Renaissance — Canada stands on the brink of a health innovation renaissance, with technology and empowered citizens leading the way.Episode Timestamps 6:10 — AI's Role in Episodic Care 9:32 — Optimizing Healthcare Access with AI 10:25 — Self-Care Revolution in Healthcare 14:51 — Canadian Healthcare Access Challenges 18:37 — Technology's Impact on Business Models 21:31 — Predictive Health Tools: Behavior Impact? 25:47 — "Courageous Leadership Challenges" 28:12 — Disrupted Pay Model in Healthcare 30:41 — Public vs. Private Industry Dynamics 35:53 — Healthcare System's Struggles and Growth 38:36 — "Virtual Hallway Revolutionizing Healthcare" 41:26 — Embracing Disruptive Health Technology 44:17 — Disruption Sparks Hopeful Healthcare ChangeDISCLAMER >>>>>>    The Ditch Lab Coat podcast serves solely for general informational purposes and does not serve as a substitute for professional medical services such as medicine or nursing.

Joe Pardavila is joined by Judy McCutcheon, CEO of Go Blue Consulting and author of Unfiltered and Unapologetic, for a raw and inspiring conversation about reclaiming authenticity in a world that often demands self-sacrifice.  Judy opens up about her journey from growing up in Tobago as one of ten children in a single-parent household to becoming a global leadership consultant, sharing how her mother's resilience and a near-death medical emergency reshaped her outlook on life.  Dive into discussions on balancing unapologetic truth-telling with kindness, the critical role of self-awareness in leadership, and why intention matters more than blunt honesty in the workplace. Judy also reveals how cultural empathy—and a love of food—fuels her consulting work across the Caribbean, North America, and beyond.  Whether you're navigating leadership challenges, seeking empowerment, or curious about breaking cycles of self-doubt, this episode is a masterclass in living boldly—and kindly. Tune in for stories that will challenge your perspective and practical insights to transform your personal and professional life.

In this heart-pounding and heart-opening episode, Wendy Valentine chats with elite mountaineer and adventure racer Dianette Wells, one of fewer than 500 people to climb the Seven Summits, including Mount Everest. But Dianette's most difficult climb wasn't on a mountain — it was through the devastating grief of losing her son, Johnny, a fellow adventurer. Together, they explore how to transform loss into purpose, why midlife is the perfect time to reinvent yourself, and how to take that first bold step toward your own personal Everest.   From competing in over 100 extreme races to discovering healing through movement, Dianette's story is packed with awe-inspiring adventures, laugh-out-loud moments, and life lessons on strength, surrender, and saying YES to life — even when it scares you. Whether you're climbing mountains or facing emotional valleys, this episode will remind you that courage isn't the absence of fear — it's doing it anyway.  

Over the past few years, we've had the privilege of sitting down with visionaries, scientists, designers, farmers, poets, and policymakers. Each conversation has expanded our perspective, encouraging us to see the world through a broader, greener lens.For our 100th episode, we're hitting pause to reflect on this amazing journey so far. We've sifted through the highlights to spotlight the themes and ideas that continue to rise to the surface – insights that feel less like podcast takeaways and more like a blueprint for a saner, more biophilic future.Tune in to learn more and hear from some familiar voices along the way.Show NotesSister Seasons | Regenerate Yourself and the Planet at the Same TimePlanetary Health: Protecting Nature to Protect Ourselves edited by Samuel Myers and Howard FrumkinLocal FuturesPositive Tipping Points (University of Exeter)The Climate Optimist Handbook: How to Shift the Narrative on Climate Change and Find the Courage to Change by Anne Therese Gennari Prioritizing Human Wellness in Architectural Design (Living Architecture Monitor)Walkable City: How Downtown Can Save America One Step at a Time by Jeff SpeckNina-Marie ListerTeam Human by Douglas RushkoffThe Nature Fix: Why Nature Makes Us Happier, Healthier, and More Creative by Florence WilliamsKeywords: nature, nature based solutions, biophilia, biophilic design, seasons, seasonality, natural cycles, wellness, climate, climate change, climate solutions, architecture, built environment, habitat, human habitat, walkability, walkable, biodiversity, pollinator, pollinator garden, community Biophilic Solutions is available wherever you get podcasts.

✨ Episode Summary What if the very thing you've been avoiding is actually the tool God wants to use to multiply your Kingdom impact? In this deeply personal episode, Dr. Leelo Bush shares how a hurricane, an RV, and a long pause from “normal life” opened the door to a Spirit-led mission involving artificial intelligence. Today, AI is no longer just a curiosity—it's a calling. Dr. Bush explains how Christian coaches and leaders can ethically and biblically integrate AI into their work, stewarding it with wisdom, clarity, and discernment. From dream interpretation apps to coaching scripts, the world is shaping AI—but what if Kingdom leaders shaped it too?

Hopefully you will find this episode with Marilyn Gardner soul-nourishing!Host Doreen Cumberford welcomes Marilyn Gardner for a deep dive into the rhythms, challenges, and beauty of leading a global, nomadic life. Marilyn shares her experiences of moving through 36 homes across continents, the lessons found in both anticipation and nostalgia, and the journey of finding "places that light you up", even when you never fully feel that you belong.Together, Doreen and Marilyn explore what it means to create a sense of home, the balance of looking forward and living in the present, the raw realities of repatriation, and how physical space, community, and personal rituals play into our sense of belonging. Marilyn provides practical wisdom for listeners who might be struggling to feel “lit up” in their current location, offering advice from her personal toolkit.Key Discussion HighlightsThe Constant Rhythm of Global Mobility: Marilyn and Doreen reflect on the repetitive cycles of moving, leaving, and adapting to new cultures—but also the subtle grief that comes with each departure.Anticipation vs. Presence: The duo discusses the necessity of anticipation in uprooting one's life, but also the need to avoid “wishing your life away,” learning instead to fully enter the present.Repatriation & Loss of Structure: How the predictable cycles of expat life can dissolve when moving “home,” leaving many feeling adrift and forcing a re-creation of rhythm.Finding Places that Light You Up: Marilyn shares the story behind her most recent move—to a beloved coastal town in Massachusetts—and the deep peace it brings her after decades of movement.Homesickness and Identity: The conversation gets real about the physical and emotional signs of when a place doesn't align: homesickness, depression, and even weight changes.Living Well Where You Don't Belong: Marilyn provides practical tools for crafting a sense of home: cultivating tolerance for ambiguity, creating special spaces, honoring your story with meaningful objects, and finding “your people.”Privilege and Perspective: Gratitude for the privilege of choice and opportunity travel is balanced with an awareness of the millions who are displaced and longing for home.Courage in Uprooting: Marilyn honors the tremendous courage it takes to begin again—reminding us, through the metaphor of transplanting a fig tree, that it can take years to bear fruit after a big move.Practical TakeawaysPhysical Signs to Watch For: If you feel weighed down, restless, or constantly homesick, pay attention—your body and mind may be telling you you're out of sync with your environment.Create Micro-Homes: Surround yourself with objects that reflect your story and bring comfort, no matter where you are.Find Your People: Seek out communities or individuals who share your background or who “understand the in-between.”Cultivate Gratitude: List three things daily you're grateful for, and recognize what's beyond your control.Allow Yourself Time: It may take years to feel at home in a new place—just like a transplanted tree, growth takes patience.Follow Marilyn at: https://www.instagram.com/marilyngard5/ or https://communicatingacrossboundariesblog.com/Resources MentionedThe Art of Travel by Alain de BottonThe Island of Missing Trees - Elif Shafak Support the showHome is Where Your Story Crosses Borders!We aim to inspire expat solutions, by helping you navigate global living with Confidence.

Today's Topics: 1) Gospel - Matthew 9:18-26 - While Jesus was speaking, an official came forward, knelt down before Him, and said, "My daughter has just died. But come, lay Your Hand on her, and she will live." Jesus rose and followed him, and so did His disciples. A woman suffering hemorrhages for twelve years came up behind Him and touched the tassel on His cloak. She said to herself, "If only I can touch His cloak, I shall be cured." Jesus turned around and saw her, and said, "Courage, daughter!  Your faith has saved you." And from that hour the woman was cured. When Jesus arrived at the official's house and saw the flute players and the crowd who were making a commotion, He said, "Go away! The girl is not dead but sleeping." And they ridiculed Him. When the crowd was put out, He came and took her by the hand, and the little girl arose. And news of this spread throughout all that land.

Gospel Matthew 9:18-26 While Jesus was speaking, an official came forward, knelt down before him, and said, ""My daughter has just died. But come, lay your hand on her, and she will live."" Jesus rose and followed him, and so did his disciples. A woman suffering hemorrhages for twelve years came up behind him and touched the tassel on his cloak. She said to herself, ""If only I can touch his cloak, I shall be cured."" Jesus turned around and saw her, and said, ""Courage, daughter!  Your faith has saved you."" And from that hour the woman was cured. When Jesus arrived at the official's house and saw the flute players and the crowd who were making a commotion, he said, ""Go away! The girl is not dead but sleeping."" And they ridiculed him. When the crowd was put out, he came and took her by the hand, and the little girl arose. And news of this spread throughout all that land. Reflection It's fascinating to me when you encounter someone and ask them if they believe in God. They often say yes, and you say, well, can he raise people from the dead? Can he heal diseases? And they kind of get confused and oh, not for me. But seriously, we don't understand what it means to believe in Jesus. It means we're actually establishing a new kingdom where there is less and less pain and suffering and disease and death until we reach the final goal. The Kingdom of God is here. But the mysterious thing is, it's here now, we're experiencing it. But the key to experiencing anything that God can do for you is believing it can be done and will be done. Closing Prayer Father, the gift of Faith is more than something that we just work on ourselves. It's a gift that comes from your Holy Spirit dwelling within us. Give us the new eyes of faith. Help us to know how powerful God's healing power is in everything we're doing. Never let us lose hope. And we ask this in Jesus' name, Amen. Learn more about your ad choices.

In this episode of the Redcoat History podcast, I'm joined by historian and author Eva Chatterji to uncover the brutal truth behind the Relief of Lucknow during the Indian Mutiny of 1857. We go beyond the siege itself to tell the story of the fighting retreat, political backstabbing, and desperate urban combat that nearly doomed the entire British operation. Along the way we meet: Sir Henry Havelock, the “soldier-saint” leading from the front Sir James Outram, trying to manage a political minefield Sir Colin Campbell, the master planner who finally broke through And William Hall, the first Black man to win a Victoria Cross This isn't just a story of Empire and military heroics — it's a story of chaos, confusion, and courage in the face of overwhelming odds. Eva's new book Courage and Chaos is out now from Barnthorne Publishing and Amazon.
