In this heartfelt episode, Katie and Annie dive deep into the question many of us face when entering our third act: How do we find the courage to make meaningful change? Inspired by a Simon Sinek video, the duo challenges the myth that courage is something we muster from within, proposing instead that it is born from connection—through community, support, and soul friendships.
Through stories of Navy SEALs, trapeze artists, and their own life transitions, Annie and Katie explore how safety nets—both emotional and practical—can empower us to leap into the unknown. They also reflect on the idea of “elite status” in the third act, not as a hierarchy but as a personal up-leveling rooted in authenticity, integrity, and possibility.
If you’ve ever felt stuck, afraid to start something new, or unsure whether you're “too late” to begin again, this conversation is a powerful reminder that you’re not meant to go it alone. Courage isn’t about going solo—it’s about building the kind of supportive circle that reminds you who you are becoming.
