The Courage Effect is a show about growth and unleashing what’s possible.
Developed by our host Suzanne Weller, The Courage Effect is a place for inspiration and empowerment through conversation. Where we talk about what we’ve learned through wrangling fear, risk, and uncertainty -- no matter how big (or small) the challenge.
Whether it’s a professional reinvention, standing up for what we believe in, fighting inequality, or smaller actions like speaking to a stranger – these courageous stories move us into where change happens.
#17: Suzanne Weller speaks with Barb Jordan, a personal safety expert and founder of Always Bev, an organization dedicated to educating individuals about personal safety. Barb shares her personal journey, including the tragic loss of her sister to gun violence, which inspired her to create Always Bev (short for Always Be Vigilant). The conversation emphasizes the importance of intuition in personal safety, the process of grieving and healing, and practical tips for staying safe in everyday situations.
