42| Marlene Hughett's Story, Emergency Brain Tumor Surgery and Finding Courage in Uncertainty

What does courage look like when life suddenly changes? In this episode of the Being Brave Tour Podcast, Karen Rae sits down with Marlene Hughett, a women’s health advocate and resilience mentor, to talk about the quiet kind of bravery that appears when life takes an unexpected turn. Marlene shares the moment her life shifted overnight when she was told she needed emergency brain surgery with almost no time to prepare. In a situation where there were no answers, no plans, and no certainty, she discovered a deeper kind of courage — one rooted in trust, faith, and presence. Together, Karen and Marlene explore what it means to live everyday brave, especially in seasons of uncertainty. In this conversation we explore: • How courage often shows up quietly rather than boldly • Learning to trust your body and inner wisdom • Finding strength when life changes without warning • The power of faith and presence during uncertainty • Why women’s stories of resilience matter Marlene now uses her experiences to support and encourage women navigating health challenges, life transitions, and moments of uncertainty, reminding them that courage is not about controlling the future — it’s about showing up in the present. Inside the #Celebrating1mWomen movement, we believe every story of courage creates a ripple for another woman. Because sometimes the bravest thing we can do… is simply trust the next step. *Special thank you to Laurie Hardie Podcast Coach and creator of 7 Day Podcast Pro Program for helping the Being Brave Tour come to life! http://www.coachlaurie.com/ [http://www.coachlaurie.com/] A Gift for YOU - New Special Edition Magazine with The Women of the Shine Circle Take a little "Me Time" with a direct download (no email required)  https://heyzine.com/flip-book/3df657ed4c.html [https://heyzine.com/flip-book/3df657ed4c.html] Visit Being Brave Tour at www.favelifestyles.app [https://www.favelifestyles.app/] Connect with Karen to see how your resources to help women take their next brave step can be featured on our app or digital publication at Karen@favelifestyles.com [Karen@favelifestyles.com]
