Bravery Just Tells the Truth

"I don't consider myself brave. I just told the truth."

That's what Kara Goucher told Michael Gervais on his Finding Mastery podcast.

But here's the thing: telling the truth, especially when it's hard and scary, is bravery.

Kara didn't wait for distance or applause.
She didn't wait for the protection of retirement.
She spoke up while she was still competing, still running, still very much part of the system she was exposing.

That takes guts.

When someone chooses truth over silence, especially in an industry that can value medals over mental health, that's not just brave.

That's transformational.

In a world where too many turn away, Kara Goucher stood up.
That's what brave leadership looks like.
