Summary:

In this episode of the Caretakers Journey podcast, Carole Leathem discusses the theme of 'loud courage', the quiet strength that caregivers need to show up and take steps forward, even when faced with challenges.

She emphasizes the importance of asking for help and recognizing that courage is not the absence of fear but the presence of faith.

Carole encourages listeners to take small actions that require courage in their daily lives, reminding them that they are not alone in their journey and that God's presence fuels their strength.
