Hey Courageous Friends,

In this solo episode of The Frequency of Courage, host Megan Imbert explores the often avoided—but absolutely essential—practice of courageous conversations. These are the moments where we feel the pull between comfort and truth, between keeping the peace and honoring our own integrity.

If you’ve ever found yourself silencing your voice to avoid conflict, suppressing your truth to maintain harmony, or bypassing hard truths, this episode is your wake-up call. It’s a heart-centered reminder that truth is not the opposite of love—it’s a profound expression of it.

Megan unpacks:

Why bypassing hard conversations can create energetic and emotional leaks
The physical, emotional, and spiritual toll of withholding truth
How avoiding discomfort can disconnect us from our power, intuition, and authenticity
Real-world examples of what it means to live and speak unmuted
How speaking the truth—especially when it's uncomfortable—is a radical act of love and self-respect
Why truth-telling is not about being right, but about being in right relationship

You’ll also hear how learning to trust yourself to speak up, even when your voice shakes, is a spiritual and emotional initiation into greater clarity, alignment, and freedom.

Whether you’re navigating challenging dynamics in a relationship, family system, workplace, or within yourself, this episode offers both soulful insight and practical encouragement. You’ll walk away with a deeper understanding of why truth is a form of healing, and how to meet discomfort not with fear, but with curiosity, compassion, and courage.
