What does Joyful Courage mean to you?

I love this question because I think joyful courage to me really means the ability to stand up, to feel confident in your choices, and to live the life you really want. Because here’s the truth, you know, living a life is centered on your priorities and letting your priorities sit front and center every day is a choice. And it’s not always an easy choice because people will question it. People will pull you in different directions wanting you to say yes to things when really you should be saying no. And so really joyful courage is standing tall and standing true to what is most important to you.

Parenting is messy. Alongside all of the joy comes and emotional freight train full of challenges and frustration.
