Modern Day Courage
If you are looking for the courage to overcome your fears, welcome.
Courage can be found each and every day.
“There’s courage involved if you want to become Truth”
Rumi
Foundational Jalene
I was born on a cold day in early January eleven days after my due date. I was stubborn and didn’t want to be born in the 1970’s. No, I wanted to be in the decade which offered bold style, saturated color and glitzy glamor. I wanted to be born in the decade that broke boundaries and followed its own rules. Born in the 80’s seemed to match me to a tee- so I delayed to make it so!
Present Jalene
I live and write on the Prairies in Canada [Treaty No. 6 Territory].
Modern Day Courage is my first book which was born of a desire to share my experience with the world. It documents my journey from the farm to seven continents and from naivete to emancipation.
Future Jalene
My goal is to work as an advocate for mental health, and dedicate more and more time to public speaking and writing.
I believe mental health is our 21st century final frontier which we must compassionately face together. Mental health comes in many different forms; it is multi-layered, multi-dimensional and deserves our time, attention and gentle care.
Awareness and support is needed from our families, within our communities, and in our workplace.
The Book
The book is a collection of lived experiences and I share my story so you do not feel alone on your road of discovery. Modern Day Courage covers topics of sexual affirmation, self-love, divorce and mental health while highlighting the power of courage, gritty determination and hope. I share my most intimate thoughts and feelings about shedding layers of fear, Catholic Church guilt, shame and dismantling perfectionism.
Use Modern Day Courage as a hand book for a dose of courage to take your first step, or your much needed next step on your journey to finding your true self. Courage can be cultivated each and every day!

Jalene Murphy overcomes life’s obstacles, mental health, the stigma of divorce, pervasive perfectionism and shame and guilt from the Catholic Church to find her authentic self. After a deep discovery, of who she is, she divorced her husband, who was her best friend because she knew she was gay/lesbian. This podcast will talk about sexual affirmation, self love, and the power of courage and inner strength. Jalene wrote a book called “Modern Day Courage” which is essential reading for anyone, wishing to discover self. Doing so requires work – hard work -but the reward is inner peace. Jalene shares with emotion and tears the courage that she’s had to be her authentic self and live the best life she can live.
