Courageous Action: Stories of women who have taken the leap of faith, rising and rebuilding, breaking through barriers and shedding their old selves to step into their true power
Courageous Action, hosted by bestselling author and TEDx speaker Louisa Herridge, is a powerful collection of thirteen stories from women who chose bravery over fear, healing over silence, and growth over limitation.
From navigating chronic pain, physical and mental health challenges to rebuilding life after abuse, loss, and profound change, each story reveals what it means to break through barriers, shed old identities, and step boldly into true power. You'll discover voices rising from the depths of grief, loss and trauma, alongside journeys of recovery, resilience, and spiritual awakening. These women share powerful stories of hope, transformation, and the unshakable belief that a brighter future is always possible.
Guided by Louisa and her Storytelling for Success method, each author has looked back over her life showing that courage doesn't always roar; sometimes it whispers in the smallest of choices asking for help, saying 'No', or daring to believe you are worthy of more. These actions may not have felt courageous, but looking back they became turning points, reshaping lives and futures.
Raw, honest, and deeply inspiring, Courageous Action invites you to reflect on your own What courageous action have you already taken - and what leap of faith still calls you forward?
