Episode description

The word "courage" often gets thrown around in ways that dilute its true meaning. It’s not about fearlessness or recklessness—it’s about trusting yourself enough to take meaningful action despite fear. This episode of This Is Woman’s Work sets the record straight on what courage actually looks and feels like, and how it’s the foundation for growth, success, and self-trust.

Our guest, Dr. Margie Warrell, is a five-time bestselling author, international keynote speaker, leadership coach, and Forbes columnist. With 25 years of experience working globally, Margie is dedicated to helping people face their fears, unlock their potential, and live bravely. From her humble beginnings on a small farm in Australia to her roles as a Senior Partner at Korn Ferry and an Advisory Board member for the Forbes School of Business & Technology, Margie embodies the courage she teaches.

In this conversation, Margie shares how courage closes the gap between self-doubt and self-trust, hesitation and action, and fear and possibility. She invites us to see courage not as an extraordinary trait, but as a practice that builds bridges to the lives we truly want.

As Margie says, “Fear creates the gap. It’s courage that closes it.”
