50|Jackie Cote - Unmasking the Truth of YOU!

What if this conversation wasn’t something you just listened to… but something you experienced within yourself? In this episode of the Being Brave Tour Podcast, Karen Rae and Jackie Cote invite you into a quiet, honest space to explore the parts of yourself that may have been hidden behind the roles, expectations, and “masks” you’ve learned to wear. This is your moment to… ✨ Pause and reflect on who you’ve been showing up as ✨ Notice where you may have adapted instead of expressed ✨ Feel into the parts of you that are ready to be seen ✨ Gently reconnect with what feels most real and true As you listen, you may find yourself asking: Who am I beneath it all? When do I feel the most like me? This isn’t about having answers. It’s about allowing yourself to experience the truth as it rises. Together, Karen and Jackie hold a space where you don’t have to perform… you simply get to be. Because sometimes, the most powerful shift isn’t becoming someone new— it’s the moment you recognize yourself again. ✨ Press play, take a breath… and experience the beauty within.

59|Grab Your Coffee Girlfriend, We Are Taking Time to Celebrate!

Hey Girlfriend, What happens when a group of women gather around a virtual coffee table to celebrate courage, wisdom, and the power of sharing our stories?   That was the heart of today's Being Brave Tour Magazine launch celebration. As we chatted, a few beautiful thoughts kept surfacing: "Courage is just fear walking forward." "Women supporting women is a powerhouse." "It's an experience, not an explanation." "We want women to feel like they're getting a hug." More than a magazine, this is an invitation to pause. To grab your coffee. To sit on the couch. To take a little "me time." To reflect on your journey and remember that you are not walking it alone.
