Your Heart, Your Wisdom and Your Courage

21 minutes

In this episode of Beautiful Work, Beautiful Life, co-hosts Laurel Holland and Laurel Boivin dive into an exploration of heart, wisdom, and courage—three qualities that, together, form a foundation for living with authenticity and alignment.

Through story, reflection, and gentle practices, they invite listeners to consider how these qualities are not separate, but deeply interconnected: the heart as the source of compassion and truth, wisdom as a deep knowing that grows when we learn to trust ourselves, and courage as the brave act of living our truth in the world.

Their conversation offers journaling questions and everyday examples of how we protect our hearts, how we can recognize our own wisdom, and how courage often shows up in ways we may not give ourselves credit for.

If you’ve been longing to live more fully from a place of authenticity and intention, this episode is an invitation to pause, reflect, and step more confidently into your beautiful life.

Journaling prompts are suggested to further your exploration.

How often do you breathe into your heart, and what do you notice when you do?

Are there feelings you’re afraid to face or feel?

Is your body showing signs of protecting your heart through posture or tension?

Do you believe you are a wise person? Why or why not?

Do you believe you were born with wisdom, or have you gained it over time?

What’s the difference between wisdom, intelligence, and knowledge—for you?

Who do you admire as a wise person, and what qualities make you see them that way?

Where is your own wisdom showing up in your life, and are you trusting it?

What courageous acts have you taken in your life that you may not have given yourself credit for?

Looking back to childhood, what risks or brave acts did you take that revealed your courage?

Where in your life have you held back from using your courage, and why?

Who do you admire as courageous or heart-centered, and what about their actions inspires you?

What countercultural practices (like journaling, meditation, or heart-centered leadership) feel meaningful to you?

How might you honor your own heart, wisdom, and courage this month?
