Courage — The Willingness to Stand Alone

#33. We’re now at part four of 5 Things I Learned from My Mummy—and this week’s focus is courage. Not the flashy kind, but the kind that quietly reshapes lives.

🌱 In this episode:

I, Anne Mbugua, reflect on a defining moment when my mum made a decision that defied expectations—and changed everything. Her courage wasn’t loud. But it was strong enough to stand alone.

💡 Key Takeaways:

• Courage isn’t the absence of fear—it’s moving forward anyway.
• Wisdom often calls us to brave choices that others may not understand.
• Courage grows each time we choose truth over comfort.

🛠 How to Cultivate Courage:

• Acknowledge fear, but don’t let it lead.
• Start small: set a boundary, speak up, ask for help.
• Let your values be louder than your fear.

📖 Quote to carry with you:

“Life shrinks or expands in proportion to one’s courage.” – Anaïs Nin
