Hello, and welcome to the Courage Is Calling podcast. My name is Mel Wiggins and this podcast is the go-to space for brilliant women who need a courage pep talk from time to time. Hands up if that's you! 

Building courage in our lives and our work is hard. It's hard. And it's hard because courage is built by taking action and trying things out and taking action and trying things out means often taking some risks or venturing into something without any real assurance of the outcome. And doing that is vulnerable. It's really hard. And so I want to be able to show up here in this podcast space and make that vulnerable, courage building journey, a little less lonely for us all. 

I want you to know that you can come here and find a little bit of insight, a little bit of solidarity, or a little bit of support, and just take it with you into the world and do your thing.

Consider this your personal pep talk station. 

I hope you'll join me every other week as we build some bravery together because my friends, you have some brilliant stuff to do in the world. And, courage is calling.
