26. The Heart of Courage: How to Have It When You Need It

Welcome back to 3D Authenticity! In today’s episode, we kick off 2026 with a powerful reflection on courage. This is an invitation to take an honest look at what courage actually asks of us and how we can access it even when we’re scared, uncertain, or tempted to wait until we feel more ready.

If you’ve ever frozen in the face of risk, backed away from something that deeply mattered, or struggled to believe in yourself without proof, this episode is offered in the hope that it will help you reconnect with the capacity already inside you to know that “Whatever happens… I’ll handle it.”

In this episode, Jennifer explores:

✅ Why courage isn’t the absence of fear, it’s the presence of self-trust
✅ The essential roles of surrendering the illusion of control & radical acceptance
✅ How failure isn’t a verdict, but a data point on the path to mastery
✅ How courage builds on itself through lived experience and reflection
✅ What keeps us stuck in the “safety zone” and how to break out
✅ The connection between courage and the people who truly see and support us
