COURAGEOUSLY AUTHENTIC™️ - BRENDA HUKEL
My Journey to
Becoming Courageously Authentic™️
Hi! I’m so glad you found my site. I’d love to share a bit about myself—and what inspired me to leave my executive role and comfortable lifestyle at 55 to start over.
After more than 30 years in Human Resources, Organizational Development, and coaching, I reached a point where I could no longer ignore the quiet inner voice calling me toward something deeper—something more meaningful.
Throughout my 30 years of coaching and leadership work, one painful truth kept rising to the surface: So many women were silently carrying wounds—stories they didn’t choose, beliefs they inherited, and pain they never learned how to heal. I didn’t just witness it in others. I lived it, too.
But nothing changed me more than losing my sister, who passed away at just 46.
Her struggle was deeply personal, and for years, I tried everything to help—investing in treatments, therapies, and alternative programs—hoping she could find peace and healing.
The day of her funeral, standing at her gravesite, the painful truth hit me: Alcohol wasn’t the cause. It was the escape—the symptom of a deeper wound she never learned how to heal. That wound was far more dangerous: the belief that she wasn’t enough–that she didn’t deserve happiness, love, or a life of joy. That moment didn’t just break my heart—it awakened my mission. I saw with painful clarity how damaging unhealed belief systems can be—and how urgently women need a path back to themselves.
That’s why I wrote Courageously Authentic™️. This book is for every woman who has questioned her worth, silenced her voice, or lost sight of who she truly is. Inside, I share the same tools, stories, and spiritual practices that transformed my life—and the lives of the courageous women I’ve had the honor to coach through their own awakenings.
Let’s turn your dreams into reality!
