Courage isn’t pretty. Ask me how I know.

This season is stretching me (in a good way).

Let me tell you something real from my week.

I’ve been in a season that is stretching me in every direction.
I picked up a seasonal job with UPS… yes ma’am, your girl is out here delivering packages through the hills of North Georgia like I’m training for the Amazon Olympics. Rain, mud, wild dogs, gravel roads, steep driveways… if it exists, I’ve met it.

And instead of feeling embarrassed, I feel strangely grounded.

This is what it looks like to build a dream with both hands and a pair of aching knees.
This is what it looks like to hold your vision steady even when your GPS gives up and basically says, “Good luck, Sis.”

I don’t just coach courage.
I live it. Sweaty, sore, and slightly dramatic.
And honestly? I’m proud of that.

Because here’s the quiet truth about this season:

Courage isn’t cute.

It’s not polished.
It doesn’t show up in perfect moments.
It shows up in the in-between. In the parts of life we wish nobody could see.

Courage in action looks like this… tired smile, reflective vest, and a woman who refuses to quit on herself.

And maybe you’re in one of those in-between spaces too.
Trying to figure out your next step.
Trying to hold your head up when life pulls you sideways.
Trying to keep your faith steady in a season that feels uncertain.

Sis, I’m right there with you.

If you need clarity, direction, or someone to talk through your next brave move with, I opened a few spots this month for Courage Calls.

These sessions are warm, grounding, honest conversations, the kind that help you breathe again and move forward with intention.
