Courage is the theme of this release of the First Ourselves Show, with co-hosts Margaret Cleveland and Karly Randolph-Pitman. It can be scary to leave behind comforting habits or patterns, whether it be with food or other aspects of our daily lives. What if we fail in following through on the change we envision? What if we’re criticized along the way? How do we act even while feeling vulnerable?
