Courage doesn’t always start with doing something brave.

Sometimes it starts with helping the body feel safe.

In this gentle Whimsywood story, Hazel notices her body feels wiggly as she thinks about reading her poem aloud. With the help of simple Courage Breaths, she learns that calming her body comes before asking herself to be brave.

This episode introduces body-based courage tools that help children slow down, steady themselves, and take small tries without rushing or pressure.
