Why Hello… Courage!
Michelle’s in her pajamas and drinking champagne, and Suzanne is on her second glass of wine, so you know that today’s episode is going to be an interesting one. Both of our hosts have had some stress and anxiety in their lives, especially over the past couple weeks, and that has inspired this week’s topic of courage and a look at various perspectives on it, and the role it has played in their lives and the lives of others. Michelle begins by sharing her continued wedding planning work, and then Suzanne offers some background on her extended family and the recent death of her aunt. They go on to define courage, recount some examples of it from both their own and others’ lives, and highlight its role in asking for help and apologizing. Suzanne’s recent panic attack, Prince Philip’s funeral, and a selection of profound quotes regarding courage are also discussed. Filled with its usual sense of fun, today’s episode also strikes an highly emotional and inspirational note as our hosts explore this most noble of human traits.

Quotes: “The best part about this dress is it requires no Spanx.” “It was very surreal to think that this group of five siblings were no longer together.” “We've never had a year that we’ve canceled either of these get-togethers and this year we cancel two of them.” “Sometimes I feel like courage just happens because it has to.” “Courage does not always roar. Many times it’s that silent voice that says ‘Just try again’.” “Are you more likely to regret it if you do it or are you more likely to regret it if you don't do it?” “I wanted to slap her upside the head.” “The courage was asking for help when he needed it.” “If we go through life assuming that people want to help instead of being afraid that they don't want to help, doesn't it kind of put a whole different perspective on life?” “If I can help somebody, if I can do something nice for you, that is how I show my love and my gratitude and my feeling.” “The only time you can be courageous is when you're dealing with something you’re afraid of.” “Our inner voices are nasty little bitches.”
