THE COURAGE DIARIES
Open your heart. Believe in yourself. Let go.
WHAT ARE THE COURAGE DIARIES?
Looking back upon my life I came to the realisation that the meaning of the word courage needed a refresher. Courage used to be a big strong hero wielding a battle axe, wonder woman, Laird Hamilton surfing the biggest wave in the world or Danny Way jumping over the Great Wall of China.
These are all courageous acts but; what is also courageous, not so glamorous and often overlooked are deeds like going back to school, starting a family, becoming a parent and raising a child (alone), moving to a foreign country where you you have to learn a new language and making new friends.. switching careers in mid life, ending old relationships, overcoming habits, addictions — believing in yourself when no one else does.
The birthplace of courage is inside each and every single one of us. These video diaries are an insight into seemingly regular people who have scaled some of their biggest personal mountains and who have a great story to share. People like you and me who wanted a little bit more and went for it.
Listen to them on the go or make a special date to watch these not so regular giants share their stories. Theres always something to learn if we are open to it.
Open your heart.
Believe in yourself.
Let go.

CHIRAG SINGAPURI
Your Host / Spearhead of Self Empowery
2 years ago I decided to change my life drastically. Having read one too many self-help books and listened to far too many podcasts I thought why not try it out. And I did. I travelled for 2 years, learnt how to write, switched careers midlife, got married and am now about to have a baby.
Not all the advice I encountered worked for me; most of it sounded better on paper. What worked was taking different elements and trying them out until I got my own unique recipe. Hence this vlog; my way of learning by asking the right people the right questions and making it as enjoyable as possible. I hope you receive as much pleasure from watching these episodes as I had recording them.
