Ep 5: What Horseback Riding Taught Her About Life

In this episode of The Courage to Fall, Tony Feghali sits with innovation consultant Noor Abu Jbara to explore how falling is not failure, and why the way we meet our fears matters more than avoiding them.

Through her early journey with horseback riding, Noor reflects on fear, hesitation, and what it takes to rebuild inner stability. She shares how learning to ride helped her let go of perfection, accept uncertainty, and build courage one ride at a time.

They discuss the emotional curve of setbacks, the power of self-awareness, and why surrendering is sometimes the first step toward real progress. Noor shares moments when life felt out of control and how the simple act of “getting back in the saddle” shaped how she now approaches work, healing, and growth.
