Courage In Our Time
Are you longing for inspiration? A feeling that you aren't alone in your teeter totter of despair and hope? Do you find yourself wondering what your purpose or gift is in this life? Are you yearning to live your life more ‘on purpose’?
Courage in Our Time is a podcast that centres around a deep dive into what it is to be human. In this sea of tumult in the world, this podcast aims to give you time to breathe, ponder and dream. It takes courage to be engaged in the world. How do we allow ourselves to be fully present when the noise is so overwhelming?
We breathe. We show up. We share.
Your why – your life path – is utterly perfect in its higgeldy piggeldy route. You are right on time. You are perfect. You are enough. You, like all of us, just need to find your unique way to show up.
Join Allie and her guests as they find their way through deep stories of connection, clarity, confusion, stumbles and missteps. In the end you will see that you belong, we all belong.
Show up with me.
