What if courage isn’t about being fearless—but about being honest with your heart while it’s still trembling?In this episode of Xero Meaning, we explore the poetic, powerful roots of the word courage—from its Latin origin cor, meaning “heart,” to its modern-day misconceptions. We unpack how true courage shows up not in loud heroics, but in the quiet decisions to keep going, speak truth, rest deeply, and heal honestly.Host Xero shares a personal journey through addiction recovery, survivor’s guilt, and the grief of losing others to the fentanyl epidemic—including a tribute to Our Candy Rose, a healing event in honor of a friend's daughter, held in Kansas City on August 15, 2025.You’ll also hear about the courageous work of Hope House KC, a domestic violence organization offering real support, safety, and second chances.Plus: gentle invitations for reflection, practical reminders for your nervous system, and a soft promotional break featuring healing journals and meaningful merch from SconeAndScribe.com.Mentioned in this episode:🕊 Our Candy Rose event – August 15, 2025 | Kansas City, MO📞 Hope House KC Hotline: 816-461-HOPE (4673)📘 Remorse & Release guided journal + others: SconeAndScribe.com👕 “Resilient” & “Courage” shirts: etsy.com/shop/SconeAndScribe🎧 Listen & subscribe: rss.com/podcasts/xero-meaningTakeaway: You don’t need to be fearless to be brave.
