The Shit Stick of Life

Kortney Wilson

The Shit Stick of Life is a podcast about people who have used the proverbial shit stick of life to launch into vibrant, fulfilling, and meaningful next chapters. It’s about how we come back; from failure to betrayal, and move through tragedy and loss. Each episode will feature honest, inspiring conversations about resilience. Podcast host and re-visionary Kortney Wilson knows a thing or two about reinventing herself. She's been an actress (ironically, on the soap opera One Life to Live), a signed recording artist, a reality television star, an author, a real estate agent, a house flipper, a home designer, a style influencer, and the host of multiple shows on HGTV. When her "perfect" marriage of 20 years ended, surfacing decades of secrets and betrayals, the shock and devastation shook her to her core. She called EVERY aspect of her life into question. On The Shit Stick of Life Podcast, Kortney shares her story and goes deep in conversation with her heroes, artists, authors, activists, and others--who have transformed their lives and reinvented themselves in the face of extraordinary setbacks. New episodes drop every other Thursday starting February 2025. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

    Amy and Lachie: The Heavy Parts of Hope | Shit Stick of Life Podcast | S2 E13

    In this episode, Kortney sits down with Amy Sheppard and Lachlan Stuart as they peel back the curtain on one of the hardest chapters of their journey. Together, they open up about their deeply personal journey through infertility and IVF, a chapter they’ve largely kept private until now. They share how their relationship began, what they imagined for their future, and how quickly those dreams were challenged when starting a family didn’t go as expected. With raw honesty, Amy and Lachlan talk through the emotional toll of infertility, the strain it placed on their lives, and the pressure couples often feel to stay strong while quietly breaking down. Throughout the conversation, they reflect on what helped them stay connected, the communication practices that held them together, and the support they leaned on when things felt impossibly heavy. Their openness sheds light on the silent battles so many couples face and offers a compassionate, unfiltered look at resilience, partnership, and navigating the unknown together.

    Kelsey Darragh: Breaking Down, Bouncing Back | Shit Stick of Life Podcast | S2 E11

    This week, Kortney sits down with the hilarious, unfiltered, and wildly self-aware Kelsey Darragh for a conversation that goes everywhere in the best way. From her upbringing to the leap that took her to Los Angeles, Kelsey opens up about the moments that shaped her and the ones that nearly broke her. They dive into what “rock bottom” really looked like for Kelsey, the turning point that forced her to finally choose herself, and how panic attacks and mental health struggles became both her biggest hurdle and ultimately her greatest teacher. Kelsey gets refreshingly honest about her sobriety journey and what pushed her toward it. Plus, she teases some exciting new projects she’s been working on and what this next chapter looks like for her.It’s raw, funny, deeply human, and exactly the kind of episode that reminds you: you’re allowed to fall apart, and you’re allowed to rebuild.

    Cat and Nat: Parenting the Sh*t Out of Life | Shit Stick of Life Podcast | S2 E8

    This week, Kortney sits down with the unstoppable duo Cat & Nat, best friends, moms, and unapologetic truth-tellers, for a real, hilarious, and refreshingly honest chat about motherhood, ADHD brains, and everything in between. Together, they unpack how parenting never really gets easier, it just changes. From the sleepless baby years to the carpool-and-therapy years, they talk about the chaos, the guilt, the laughter, and the moments that make it all worth it. It’s a conversation about friendship, growing through the stages of motherhood, and learning to roll with the mess, because none of us have it figured out, and that’s kind of the whole point.
