Ever found yourself running in circles? Let’s stop that…
Hello beloved!
In grad school, I decided to train for a marathon, mostly because I wanted to be a person who completed marathons.
On one particularly beautiful weekend, I went for a long jog around the town.
Several miles and two hours later, I realized that jogging was NOT my jam.
I spent the entire time repeating the same thought – over and over again. My thoughts were running in circles!
Eventually, I realized I needed to shift gears!
This was ridiculous! I needed to take positive proactive action. And I needed to do it NOW.
… which brings me to YOU, Reader, and how you can stop running in circles (more metaphorically than literally…).

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!
