How one woman went from being dismissed in the field… to leading life-saving missions—and what it taught her about purpose, perseverance, and power.

What if the courage you’re looking for is built—not born?

⏺ How to conquer fear in high-stress situations

⏺ What most people get wrong about courage

⏺ The underrated power of documentation, faith, and female grit
