Who Are We?

We're just like you...

First of all we are women just like you, juggling work, family, changes in our bodies, and transitions in our life. We know what it’s like to initially want to run the other way when we’re called on to make a tough choice, resolve a thorny conflict, or speak up in the midst of dissenting opinions. We’ve experienced the reluctance – the utter terror – to tell our hairdresser we’re not happy with our haircut.

We also know, however, the deep fulfillment that is gained when living a life of self-determination. The sense of aliveness that comes from saying: “This is important to me.” We understand the thrill of recognizing the courage that shows up everyday in our lives. We experience the power that comes from tapping into our authentic Self – our true north – and expressing it throughout our lives. And we get often get glimmers of how we are changing the world because of who we are and what we are doing.

Every day, in many ways big and small, we see women making courageous choices that impact their lives and ripple out into the world. We are in awe of women’s resiliency, and know deep in our bones that it is the feminine face of courage that will rebalance and transform our world.

Our deepest hope is that as a result of reading The Courage Code you recognize and honor your own everyday acts of courage – acts that are truly changing the world.
