Show Notes

Welcome to Late Talks on Air for Sunday, June 14th, 2026! 

In this episode, I interview Bernice McDonald, a coach and author who helps midlife women move from feeling “not enough” to becoming “brave enough” by taking small, courageous steps.

Bernice shares her personal story of leaving a long-term marriage at 49, rebuilding her life, and turning her experiences into a framework for helping others. We talk about her “Tiny Brave Steps” methodology, the courage framework featured in her books and workshops, and how courage is built by taking action—especially when afraid.

Enjoy the show!

About this week’s guest, Bernice McDonald

Bernice McDonald is a Life Strategist who helps people navigate the hard stuff—loss, fear, change, disappointment—and discover the courage to rebuild through her “Tiny Brave Steps” method.

Bernice believes that courage isn’t the absence of fear—it’s taking a single, brave step even when you’re still afraid. Her philosophy is both simple and deeply relatable: “You can do hard things, even if the step you take is tiny.”

As the author of the “Little Books of Courage” series (beginning with ‘Brave Enough to Be Myself’ and ‘Brave Enough to Let Go’), Bernice blends storytelling, neuroscience, and soulful reflection to help listeners recognize their strength, befriend fear, and move forward with hope.
