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.

*Trigger warning: this podcast episode discusses infertility.*
Your husband quits his job to help you build the next phase of your business only for the panic of the pandemic to hit just a couple of months later.
Your thriving face-to-face career supporting women in their 40s through complex fertility issues needs to pivot…fast…but you’re homeschooling one child while breastfeeding another.
And you’re beginning to wonder how you’re going to pay the bills.
What would you do?
For Naava Carman, necessity was the mother of invention.
She quickly realised she could share her knowledge to build a global online training platform for practitioners keen to support women in their fertility journey.
And as you’ll hear, Naava’s story shows it’s possible to:
➡️ Successfully redefine the roles in marriage to allow for the creation of a business that is joyful for both people.
➡️ Navigate down periods and setbacks and come out stronger… if you allow your entrepreneurial brain the freedom to explore ideas.
➡️ Get help for complex fertility issues, particularly when you're in your 40s
