Hi, I'm Courtney a business owner and mom of 3 who was rushing through life with my head down busy doing the day-to-day tasks and building my business. I was so caught up in the doing that I was no longer being. I remember taking a moment to look at myself in the mirror one day as I was getting ready and instead of multi-tasking, I actually SAW myself and was so surprised to see the woman looking back at me. Time had changed me, I was so busy during that time that I didn't see who I was becoming. I was a midlife mom with grey hair, wrinkles, fine lines, and saggy skin and I made a decision that day to stop rushing through life, honor my body and who I had become and accept the aging process. I began to practice leaning into a softer way of living. Slow down and simplify to feel better, become more confident, and enjoy where I am now with my family.

Great tips to get your groove back in midlife
I love Courtney’s practical tips! The episode on to navigate a midlife crisis was particularly helpful. I especially like her suggestion she gave about primarily following people in your age group or older-and unfollowing people a lot younger than you- so that you can be constantly focused not on the past or falling into a comparison trap- but having it be about looking forward! I’m not on social
Media a lot, but that inspired me to do exactly that next time I log on! I love tips like this and I look forward to listening to more!
Currently in Midlife
This podcast is such a blessing to me! I’m still going through hot flashes 5 years in and I’m grateful for this support! Great podcast!
So good and practical!!!
I just love this new show I especially love listening to the one about teenage boys since I have a teenage boy with I think problems and I also loved the one about relaxing. It was short and sweet and super practical. Can’t wait to hear more!
