Today I want to explore a counter-intuitive idea about courage and moxie. We often celebrate speaking up, taking action, and making bold moves. But what about the courage it takes to hold back? To create space? To resist the pressure to share everything immediately?

Something you might not know about me – I’m a certified etiquette coach. But before you picture someone obsessing over which fork to use, let me share what that really means. Etiquette is simply a framework for creating comfortable spaces for everyone where genuine connections can flourish.

These days, due to social media, oversharing has become the norm, but there’s tremendous value in rediscovering the moxie of restraint. There’s wisdom in knowing when to speak and when to listen, when to share, and when to observe.

Whether you’re navigating professional relationships, building community connections, or simply trying to have more meaningful conversations, this episode will challenge you to rethink what courage looks like in our interactions.

So, get ready to explore the quieter side of courage. This is Moxie Moments, and we’re about to discover how sometimes the bravest thing we can do is create space for trust to grow.

Let’s dive in.
