This episode is raw, real, and straight from the heart. Recorded on the fly as Cortney prepares to travel and be with her grandpa (who is currently in the hospital) this conversation explores the depths of grief, the cycles of life, death, and rebirth, and what it means to truly feel it all.
Cortney reflects on:
-
The gift of being alcohol-free during emotional seasons & the power of sitting with grief without numbing
-
Why “Glōwing Up” isn’t just about basking in the light - it’s about having the courage to face the dark (the pain, the shadow & the messy parts we’d rather avoid)
-
How facing the reality of death can give us a newfound appreciation for life.
-
How exploring our shadows helps us step into our light more fully
This episode is a reminder that life is precious & a true glōw up doesn’t come from pretending life is perfect - but in the moments you choose not to hide from the dark.
If you're navigating grief or loss, you’re not alone. This one’s for you.
