This episode will inspire you to make choices that feel alive, real, and deeply personal.

In this week’s episode of The ARTwork of YOU, Lori Gouhin explores the kind of courage that doesn’t make headlines but quietly changes lives. The kind that happens in the privacy of your own mind, when no one’s watching. The kind that says, “I’ll try, even if I’m not sure it’ll work.”

Through honest reflection, lived experience, and actionable insights, Lori unpacks why fear often disguises itself as logic, why waiting to “feel ready” keeps us stuck, and how every small act of courage rewires your sense of identity. From neuroscience to nervous system wisdom, she reminds us that hesitation isn’t a flaw, it’s biology and that courage begins when you choose to move anyway.

This episode is an empowering invitation to recognize where fear is running the show, to stop waiting for perfect timing, and to start building the kind of self-trust that creates lasting change.
