Welcome to the Modern Day Courage Podcast
This is your space for honest conversation, bold self-discovery, and the everyday courage it takes to live your truth.
I’m Jalene E. Murphy — writer, speaker, and author of Modern Day Courage — and I’m here to sit with you in the questions, the breakthroughs, and the fierce, tender work of becoming who you are meant to be.
In each episode, we dive into stories that matter — the moments that challenge us, transform us, and reconnect us with our inner strength. We’ll explore topics like sexual affirmation, self-love, mental health, authenticity, and resilience, all grounded in lived experience and heartfelt honesty.
Whether you’re just starting your journey or you’ve been walking this path for a while, you’re welcome here. Let’s build a community that encourages each other toward truth, compassion, and wholehearted living — one conversation at a time.
Press play. Lean in. And let’s find courage together.
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.
