A Good Time to Chat

Society EN ↓ 31 episodes

I'm Courtney. Sometimes get lost in the sauce of life. I think, think, and OVERthink. My mind tries tricking me into believing everyone else has it all together. SPOILER: THEY DON’T! I don't try to be perfect--I gave that up a long time ago, but I am committed to growth. I want to live today more effectively and gracefully than I lived yesterday. This podcast is me, working through all of it--in bite sizes. If you are on a similar journey and want to walk a bit with me on this stretch of life's road, WELCOME! I'm glad you're here.

Let's Chat About GARDENING (NEGATIVITY) 26.07.2024 4:07

Send us a text Is this a good time to chat about GARDENING? Specifically, what's KILLING my garden? I am the gardener of my own growth. The seeds of growth I planted and tend to are wilting. Is it possible I am the one destroying them? And...(shudder)...am I alone with this behavior? (Spoiler: I don't think I am...) "It's me. Hi. I'm the problem, it's me." Taylor Swift Shout out to Pump Up the M...

Let's Chat About COMFORT ZONES 25.07.2024 3:03

Send us a text Ah, the evil COMFORT ZONE! We hear a lot about abandoning that ship, but I have a different perspective. Can growth and a comfort zone exist in harmony? For me, they do! But not without some intentional stretching involved... "Comfort zones are most often expanded through discomfort." Peter McWilliams Shout out to Pump Up the Mind for the theme music: "Bright Horizons"

Let's Chat About POTENTIAL 25.07.2024 5:39

Send us a text Have you ever allowed self-doubt and a negative inner voice hold you captive and prevented you from recognizing your full POTENTIAL? Same here. Staying forever in a small, safe, and warm fishbowl is great for some fish, but when (and how) do we find the courage to move into larger waters? Today, when I think I can't...I'll try. When I think it's too hard, I'll do it and learn jus...

Let's Chat About PROGRESS 25.07.2024 5:01

Send us a text Can we agree that it's a bit unfair to compare PROGRESS to success? While the world goes hoarse trying to tell us the meaning of success, it's only when we look inside that we truly find progress and the true definition. Are you so focused on the outcome that you miss the value in the process? Are you at risk of giving up entirely because you place value on the WIN and not the GAM...

Let's Chat About CONFIDENCE 25.07.2024 4:07

Send us a text Is it possible that how we introduce our thoughts might be an indication of our self-esteem health? We have important thoughts, feelings, and ideas to share, but can how we voice them alert the listener that what follows may be, at best, uninspiring? [insert sad trombone "womp-womp" here] I'd love to know if I'm the only one (I know I'm not) who uses phrases like the ones I share...

Let's Chat About CHANGE 24.07.2024 2:22

Send us a text I don't know about your relationship with CHANGE, but I know I needed to talk it through with you. I credit the insightful research of William Bridges Associates for helping me learn to navigate change with greater understanding, serenity, and reward. Once you understand the way we humans transition through change, you never look at change the same way again. It's like the mob...y...
