In this Music Monday episode of Happiness Through Creating, we delve into the song “Brave” by Sara Bareilles as a powerful guide to understanding the connection between courage, creativity, and happiness.

What does it really mean to be brave with your words? Beyond boldness, true bravery lies in speaking with honesty, listening with openness, and creating stories that reflect truth. Through thoughtful reflection and storytelling, we explore how intentional speech and mindful creation can foster stronger relationships, deepen self-awareness, and cultivate authentic joy.

You’ll hear how every word we speak—and every silence we keep—shapes the stories we live and share. Drawing from Bareilles’ inspiring lyrics, this episode offers three practical ways to “be brave”:

1. Speak intentionally – choose words that reflect empathy and truth.

2. Listen actively – honor others’ stories while staying grounded in your own.

3. Reflect through creation – express your truth through action and creativity.

If you’ve ever hesitated to speak up, tell your story, or pursue a creative dream, this short episode will remind you that your voice matters—and that happiness often begins with one brave word.

🎧 Listen now and discover how brave expression can create connection, clarity, and joy.
