Apollo Sunrise Center was honored to host the Speak Boldly Showcase on October 15, and I was incredibly moved by the vulnerability, courage, and honesty of the women who stood up and shared their stories.

That experience made this conversation with Lorraine Connell, founder of Speak Boldly, and Karen Butz Webb feel even more meaningful.

In Episode 72 of Rise, Heal, and Grow, we talk about finding your voice, why courage often comes before confidence, and how sharing our stories can create healing, connection, and community.

If you’ve ever wondered whether your story really matters, I hope this conversation reminds you that it does.

Courage Before Confidence: The Power of Telling Your Story with Lorraine Connell & Karen Butz Webb (Ep. 72)

Watch the reel, then find the full episode on the Podcast page of the Apollo Sunrise Center website.
