I was stuck in the mud.
I’d like to start today where we ended last week.
I'd left you with a reflection: Where can you be daring this week? Or maybe willing to be naive? Or maybe even finding other people to nurture your courage together?
I've been wondering how that landed? It's been sitting with me too.
Looking back across my life, I can see how many moments have asked me to choose courage. And the shape of that courage has almost always been the same - going with the truth, even when it was painful or destabilising.
It's what led me to walk away from a big corporate career and to accept the financial compromises that came with that. It's what led me to speak up when people around me were going along with the status quo and it's what's led me to turn down work with clients whose values don't align with mine.
