Have you been circling the same brave step for weeks, maybe years, waiting for a surge of courage that never quite arrives?

Most people in a life transition think the problem is that they are not brave enough yet. The truth is kinder, and far more useful. You do not have to generate all of your courage on your own. You can borrow some from the people around you until you have built up enough of your own. In this Thursday check-in, a companion to Monday's conversation with Andrea Maizes in episode 344, Kavita picks up on one idea from that episode and turns it into a small, doable invitation for the week ahead.

In this episode, you'll discover:

• What borrowed courage actually is, and why watching another person be brave becomes real proof that your next step is possible for you too
• Why the judgment you are bracing for is almost always a story you are telling yourself, and what tends to happen when you finally let people in on what you are working toward
• How to choose one small act of rebellion this week, something that stretches you a little rather than terrifies you, and why that one honest act teaches you something fear never will

Press play to borrow a little courage, choose your one small act, and take the step you have been circling in your midlife career and life transition.

If the idea of borrowing courage from a circle of other professional people in the same season of life speaks to you, Kavita is considering creating a small group program for people navigating career and life transitions together, uncovering their ikigai, your reason for being, and lifting each other up through each next brave step. Add your name to the waitlist here. There is no commitment, only a way to let Kavita know you are interested, and she will share details as they take shape.
