The Choice Wisdom Podcast
Season 3: Episode 8Embracing Courage
What if you throw your life up in the air and see what happens when it comes down?
That's the question we asked Cathy Derksen, who runs a collaborative book publishing company called Inspired Tenancity.
After leaving a toxic marriage, Cathy reinvented herself and now inspires other women to share their own stories of reinvention. It's an inspiring conversation about what it takes to embrace the courage within you.
Five years ago, Cathy was navigating some major changes personally and professionally. She eventually walked away from financial planning and found herself doing something she never expected, helping women tell their stories and become published authors.
But this conversation isn’t just about publishing books. We talked about what it takes to start over when you don’t know exactly what comes next. About trusting yourself enough to pivot. About finding purpose in places you never expected.
And we talked about the power of our stories. Sometimes we convince ourselves that nobody wants to hear what we have to say. But your experiences, the things you’ve learned and even the things you’ve had to overcome could be exactly what somebody else needs to hear.
That’s the beauty of sharing our stories. We never really know who they might reach or what they might unlock for someone else. Such a good conversation about courage, purpose, community and being willing to choose differently when life is telling you it’s time.
