CG Podcast: Facing Fear, Growing Courage

In this deeply personal episode of Courageous Girls, Terra Mattson walks us through one of the most common and paralyzing challenges we face as women—fear and anxiety. Sharing insights from Chapter 7 of Courageous: Being Daughters Rooted in Grace, Terra unpacks the difference between fear and anxiety, how our past shapes our responses, and why naming these emotions is the first step toward freedom.

As a licensed therapist and founder of Courageous Girls, Terra combines neuroscience, biblical truth, and real-life stories to help us grow stronger faith muscles—not just for ourselves, but for the daughters we’re raising. With honesty and hope, she reminds us that God goes at our pace, and that courage isn’t the absence of fear—it’s choosing truth in the face of it.


Courageous Girls' motivation is to see a generation of women who are navigating trusted relationships, are confident in who God says He is and who He made them to be and are resiliently moving through the peaks and valleys of life. A generation of women who are rooted in grace and free from the performance-based treadmill we are enticed with every day.

CG answers this goal by providing clear and trusted Biblical, clinical and relational wisdom for moms. With the long-term goal in mind, lessons are created as building blocks and encouraged to unfold within community.

Not only does a CG community provide the perfect place to practice the art of relationship, but it also allows the moms to share the load which provides a diversity in leadership. All the while nurturing a trusted connection with the first model in a daughter’s life, her mom. 

Groups provide a safe place to focus on God’s word rather than the competing influences in the world. Instead of competition, comparison and judgment… groups strive to grow in gratitude, joy and acceptance. CG is an intentional choice to equip ourselves and our daughters to love others well and to live from a place of wholeness and grace.
