When women speak their truth, they light the way for others. 
In this heartfelt and uplifting episode, I’m joined by Carol Beaumont and Michelle Emery — the inspiring duo behind Her Courage Speaks, a platform that empowers women to transform pain into purpose through honest storytelling and meaningful community.
Together, we explore how sharing our most vulnerable moments can be a powerful gateway to healing — not just for ourselves, but for those who hear our stories. Carol and Michelle open up about the personal challenges that shaped their mission, the courage it takes to own your story, and the real magic that unfolds when women gather in safe, supportive spaces to connect.
You’ll also hear what it’s really like to go into business with a longtime friend, what to expect at one of their beautiful, live events, and why self-care and community are essential when navigating and overcoming trauma.
What you’ll learn in this episode:
- Why vulnerability is key to building authentic connection and community
- How storytelling can shift your mindset and empower others
- Tips for public speaking and moving through imposter syndrome
- The importance of self-care, safe spaces, and asking for help
- How collaboration and community support create lasting ripple effects
Who this episode is for:
This one’s for women navigating healing, purpose, or new beginnings; anyone craving meaningful connection; and those who believe in the power of real, raw, courageous conversations.
