Dare To Be Brave with Joy Foster
Redundancy. Maternity leave. Perimenopause. Menopause. Illness. Caring for ageing parents.
Sound familiar?
If you're a woman in midlife, chances are you've faced one - or several - of these life transitions. And somewhere along the way, you may have pressed pause on your career… your confidence… or even your sense of direction.
But what if this chapter isn’t the end of your story—what if it’s the moment you learn to be brave?
Dare To Be Brave with Joy Foster is a powerful solo podcast that blends real-life insight with the neuroscience of courage, confidence, and change.
Each episode unpacks what’s really happening in your brain when you feel stuck, overwhelmed, or afraid to move forward—and shows you how to work with your brain, not against it.
You’ll learn how to:
- Rebuild confidence after a setback
- Take action even when fear is loud
- Break free from overthinking and self-doubt
- Navigate change with clarity and resilience
- Redefine success on your own terms
Whether you're returning to work, starting something new, or simply trying to figure out what’s next, this podcast will give you the tools - and the courage - to move forward.
Because bravery isn’t something you’re born with. It’s something you build.
And this is where it begins.

[Episode 16] How to make a decision when you have multiple options
Use Left/Right to seek, Home/End to jump to start or end. Hold shift to jump forward or backward.
Current student Dani (previously a Starter -Now a Star!) talks us through her Instagram implementation ideas to work on throughout the Christmas Season!
Dani says “My background is of PR and communications, but I’m of that generation that, didn’t miss out on Social Media but didn’t grow up using it for professional purposes” which led her to TechPixies!
Let’s talk about the decision Dani has to make. She needs to work on her Instagram over Christmas for her CPD. She currently has five options. Essentially, this is not much easier than having no ideas because she has to make a choice!
OPTION 1 She ultimately wants to go freelance as a PR communications freelancer. Using her TechPixie Training she has the end goal of having her own business, working from home. This is her BHAG! (Big Hairy Audacious Goal) BUT Is it too soon? She doesn’t have company name or a domain name -yet.
OPTION 2 She has a friend who has her own handmade Jewellery business… perhaps she can apply her learning to help out a friend and gain experience. The downside? Her friend only has a small following and just getting started. She could make a real difference, but is it her passion?
OPTION 3 She is a Mum Reporter, writing reviews on theatres and restaurants, etc with a local newspaper. So she could ask the editor if she could expand on that work. It would be fantastic professional experience BUT she doesn’t want to tread on any toes of people already working on the accounts there and doesn’t want to make any mistakes!!
OPTION 4 She works on her children’s school’s PTA’s Instagram and Facebook. In particular their ‘Wild Place for Nature Garden’. However, its all very new and she doesn’t have all the information yet.
OPTION 5 Sustainability is her absolute passion and something she has a background in. She doesn’t want to lose this experience.
Listen to the podcast to hear how TechPixies founder, Joy Foster, helps Dani to organise her thoughts and begin a process of elimination. What decision does she make? Be sure to listen to find out!
