Have you ever known something needed to change, but found yourself waiting until you felt less afraid?
Whether it's leaving school behind, changing careers, moving across the world, or simply choosing a different way of parenting, many of the biggest decisions we make ask us to step into the unknown before we know how things will turn out.
In this 100th episode of Radical Learning Talks, we reflect on the role courage has played in our own lives. We explore why fear isn't always a warning sign, how courage grows through practice rather than certainty, and why the life we're longing for often begins just beyond the edge of what feels comfortable.
We explore:
• Why courage and fear always seem to arrive together
• How our relationship with the unknown changes over time
• Why waiting until you feel "ready" often keeps us stuck
• The connection between courage, dreaming and personal growth
• How choosing a different path transforms not only us, but the people around us
