In case someone hasn’t told you this lately…
Hello Beloved,
This quote just gives me all the feels… how about you?
|
… because isn’t it true?
Take 5 seconds and think of someone you really admire.
Maybe it’s a relative, friend, co-worker, celebrity, an author, a fictional character (Anne of Green Gables all the way!)… whoever it is – what’s that special something about them that intrigues you?
More often than not it’s probably something like:
- Confidence
- Comfortable in their skin
- Genuine
In a nutshell: authenticity.
Yet why is it so dang hard to remember sometimes that being ourselves – especially with those we love – is literally a gift?😕
We all benefit when we’re present, at peace with who we are, and free of the burden to perform because when we lean into Whose we are, we can embrace who we are. 👏
Amazing.
(Obviously, we’re called to grow. To be kind. To choose love. “Being yourself” doesn’t mean being a jerk…)
This brings us to 1 super fun thing for today:
In case someone hasn’t told you lately – thank you for being YOU, Reader. You’ve been made by the Amazing Creator and are pretty amazing yourself.

I’m Cortney, a recovering over-achiever and God’s beloved who loves helping fellow Christian women like you embrace your God-given gifts so you have the confidence to live authentically.
I’m also a full-time mama to two sweet little boys, wife to my best friend, motivational speaker, and part-time Christian life coach. Chai lattes, strong coffee, podcasts, yoga, dance, and fairy tales nourish my soul and add sweetness to life.
Discovering the joy of embracing my God-given gifts and who He created me to be was a game-changer—a journey that brought freedom, unexpected delights, and relief from guilt. Finally, I felt free to be myself and ditch the pressure of being someone I wasn’t.
Incorporating those gifts into my day—from weekly planning to deciding on commitments, nurturing my marriage, and parenting—transformed everything. Now, I can’t imagine life without the perspective of fully embracing who God created me to be. I was missing so much without it!
