Ep 28: How to Find the Courage You need with Brenda Winkle

podcast Jan 30, 2023

Take a moment to look back at your life and let me ask you, was it a straight-line journey from where you started to where you are in life right now? My guess is that the answer is no. Life has so many unexpected moments and shifts, and all of them lead to where we are today. How these unexpected moments might look is something we’ll discuss more in this episode.

Our guest today is a new friend, Brenda Winkle, with whom I share so many overlaps in life with. Brenda is an energy expert, an empowerment coach, and an Advanced ThetaHealing® Meditation Technique Practitioner. She also hosts the Waves of Joy Podcast.

“So many times in life, there’s not a straight line.” – Brenda Winkle

Brenda’s life had a lot of twists, turns, and unexpected developments that led her to where she is now, and she shares each of these defining moments in her life.

Here are three stories she shares:

Little interactions in her childhood that led to beliefs kept well into adulthood
How Waves of Joy Podcast was named and created
Working with Highly Sensitive People and Empaths

Going from a music teacher, photographer, and Reiki master, to now living to directly help people, Brenda’s careers had some seemingly unexpected and different shifts. But the common thread through all of her jobs was something that had manifested since she was a child: her innate desire to help and make sure that everyone around her was okay.

In this episode, you’ll hear about how she displayed courage in so many moments in her life; the multiple times she shifted careers when she chose to unlearn so many beliefs from childhood, and when she left an abusive relationship. Through it all she remained positive and was able to find true joy even when things were hard. Listening to her story will hopefully help you find some of the courage you need too.

Trigger Warning: This episode has stories of domestic abuse. Listen with caution if this is a potential trigger for you.
