REAL WOMEN. REAL LIVES.
A Special Podcast Series
Episode 6
What Came First—Courage or Action?
With Barbara Patterson + Melissa Palazzo-Hart
ACTION? What if courage nor confidence were needed to step more fully into our lives?
In today’s episode, Melissa and Barb demonstrate ways to show up in life without having to have it all figured out before we do. Though courage and vulnerability are often present in our lives, Barb and Melissa discuss the beauty of being able to take action regardless.
SHOW NOTES:
-
Melissa shares a story that conveys how courage can show up for us before, during, or after we decide to be bold and act. [00:01:00]
-
Barb gets to pick up where Melissa leaves listeners with a cliffhanger and points out that neither courage nor confidence is required to take action. [00:06:53]
-
Melissa is destined for a TEDx talk but discusses how she once errantly thought this reality would happen only after she got her act together. She then teaches us about the danger and disgust of dumpster diving. [00:09:56]
-
Barb reminds us that even though thinking something through might be helpful at times, it’s only imagination until we are faced with what is real in the moment. [00:13:54]
-
Melissa discusses how to break down courage and action, needing only to be a three-foot toss or a single leap from one lily pad to another. But please do not mistake her for a frog. 🙂 [00:16:54]
