This book was created especially for courage-seeking girls and young women who …
  • Want to stand up for themselves, share their talents, explore the world, pursue a new job and take more risks but don’t know how to start the conversation on courage or the process of self-evaluation.
  • Need to amplify an empowering and encouraging internal voice so that fear isn’t the only thing they hear.
  • Desire an easy-to-reference resource that can serve as a daily prompt and guide to help them consider their relationship with courage and assess their abilities to conjure it.
  • Prefer that courage be discussed in a relatable, digestible way (instead of a drab or difficult one).
