Welcome to Reflections
Where I share the lessons emerging from the Finding Courage project
The stories I’ve discovered while Finding Courage are changing how I think about bravery — what it looks like, how it feels, and how often it goes unnoticed. I’ve been interviewing people who have been inspired by someone else’s courage, and the people who lived that courage themselves. Their insights continue to surprise me, challenge me, and deepen my understanding of what courage really is.
Reflections is where I explore these learnings:
how courage shows up quietly,
how it shapes our hardest decisions,
and how often we recognise it in others long before we recognise it in ourselves.
If you’re curious about the everyday realities of courage — not the headlines, but the human moments — you’re in the right place.
Tough it out or Walk away? What’s Braver?
Is it braver to tough it out — or to walk away?
The real stories in Finding Courage show that courage isn’t about staying or leaving, but choosing the path that is true to who you are.
Quiet Courage Matters
When most people think of courage, they picture the dramatic kind — running into burning buildings, taking on injustice, stepping into danger. But after two years of interviewing people for the Finding Courage project, I’ve discovered that some of the most powerful courage isn’t loud at all.
