Join Doreen Cumberford, the host for a delightful conversation with Margaret Ghielmetti, author of "Brave(ish)," who reveals how living abroad transformed her life from the inside out. Margaret shares her refreshingly honest take on finding courage in unexpected places and building what she playfully calls "superpowers" through facing fears head-on.

In this episode, you'll discover:

  • Why being "brave-ish" (rather than perfectly brave) leads to authentic growth
  • How living in different cultures sparked Margaret's deepest personal changes
  • Practical, courage-building techniques anyone can use, regardless of geography
  • The surprising connection between vulnerability and strength

Margaret's storytelling weaves humor with profound insights, making big life principles feel accessible and actionable. Whether you're contemplating a major life change or simply looking to build more everyday courage, this conversation offers both inspiration and practical wisdom.

We hope that this episode encourages you to lean into your own intuition and courage in the face of the challenges we face overseas.
