Ep 180 In Praise of Bravery

A common misconception about introverts is that we are inherently timid, cowardly, and scared of our shadows, mostly because the word 'bravery' is typically associated with extraverted behaviour.  In this episode, Joanna shares what bravery means to her and explores different interpretations of the word. And, as introverts, how we have unique talents and abilities that mean we can be courageous in our own right. Listen in as she talks about the contrasts between being 'brave' from being 'confident' and how these qualities complement one another. Join our host as she guides us to be mindful of the language we use to discern whether what we fear is truly fear-inducing or merely uncomfortable. KEY POINTS: What is bravery?
