We live in a world where courage is more important than ever. But here’s the truth: courage isn’t about bold moves or ripping off the band-aid. It’s about asking yourself the hard questions: Am I really living the life I want? Am I being the person I truly want to be?
Today on the Julia & Gino Podcast, we sit down with Phil McKernan — a powerful speaker, author, and coach who helps people cut through the noise to find clarity and purpose. Known for his raw honesty and piercing questions, Phil challenges us to stop chasing empty success and instead create a life filled with meaning and joy.
Get ready for a conversation that might just change the way you see yourself, your courage, and your future.
Key Takeaways-
✅ Courage isn’t about grand gestures; it’s about self-reflection. It’s having the bravery to ask yourself difficult questions about your life and where you’re headed.
✅ Not doing the work is harder than doing it. Waking up with a life of regret is far more painful and selfish than facing your fears and making a change.
✅ Our stories have power. Sharing your truth can not only heal you but also help someone else realize that their story matters, too.
✅ Emotions like anger are natural, not destructive. We often suppress our emotions, but learning to acknowledge and feel them is essential for personal growth and well-being.
