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!

It makes you perk up and think, “God, you’re being pretty obvious about this. How can I catch what you’re throwing down?”
My focus for this year is being more playful and seeking joy, so a few weeks ago I wrote some “joyful” verses on scrapbook paper and taped them up in our living room (classy, I know), including the verse I’m about to share with you.
In the past 24 hours, it’s kept popping up – this…
