Courtney reflects on one year of full-time self-employment after nearly five years of building in the margins. She shares her journey from starting with a $100 spreadsheet gig during quarantine to running a thriving coaching business. With honesty, humor, and wisdom, she talks about the importance of starting before you're ready, embracing pivots, redefining success, and trusting God through every season.

Key Takeaways:

• Starting messy is better than never starting.
• You don’t need to quit your job to build your dream.
• Pivoting doesn’t mean failure - it’s positioning.
• Define what success looks like for you.- Obedience to God can sustain more than your best marketing.

Courtney takes a deep dive into her reflections after six months of marriage, exploring what truly matters and what surprised her most. This episode challenges assumptions and encourages women to reframe how they see singleness and readiness.

What You’ll Learn

• Why friendship, not just romance, is the foundation of marriage
• How self-awareness and healing work in singleness pay off later
• Why “you don’t lose yourself” when you say “I do”
• What purity culture doesn’t prepare you for
• Why being 100% healed before marriage isn’t necessary—or biblical
• The importance of merging lives practically and emotionally
• How to love your single life while still desiring marriage

Quotes from the Episode

• "You don't lose yourself in marriage. You actually create something new."
• "If marriage is the solution to all of your problems, you’re going to be really disappointed."
• "Healing in singleness is never wasted—it equips you for what’s ahead."
• "I am not a marriage pro. I’m just a baby wife reflecting with you from my own story."
• "It’s not 50% + 50% = one. It’s 100% + 100% creating something entirely new."
