Favorite Things Courtney:
An Anne Hathaway quote from The Interview:
“As a formerly chronically stressed young woman, I just remember thinking one day: You are taking this for granted. You are taking your life for granted. You have no idea. Something could fall through the sky, and that would be lights out. So when I find the old instincts rising, I just tell myself, You are not going to die stressed.”

Customer Reviews
Summer Romance
Loved this episode with Annabel Monaghan & loved Summer Romance! Thank you
My listening time to chill & unwind
I love soul & wit! I’ve been listening for over a year & dıscovered Courtney through her project 333 interview in the minimalists podcast. I look forward to a new episode every Monday & it gets my week started out right. The topics you discuss are so relevant & practical for my life that I find myself implementing your tips without even realizing it. Thank you for being true to yourselves & down to earth , not looking to be people pleasers. I appreciate the honesty as you both express your opinions & real life experiences reminding us its ok, we’re all human. Keep the content coming! The work you put into each episode is evident. Thank you for what you do!
Forever Fan
I have been listening to the Soul & Wit podcast since the beginning. I always enjoy the episodes — whether it’s learning something or feeling something. I love the mother/daughter perspective especially since my daughter and I share many similar thoughts on life … books, books, coffee, dogs, more books, fewer people 😂
