Un-Gatekeeping My Backstory

When it comes to building a personal brand, we have to portray ourselves in a particular way: expert, authentic, personal, energetic, etc.

But this sometimes leaves out the stickier details: what we struggle with, difficulties we had to face, all the moments we questioned ourselves.

So today, I’m pulling back the curtain. I’m laying out my backstory for you, good, bad, and uncomfortable. I’m covering a cheerleading career, my mental breakdown, my yoga mat business, and the way I eventually had to re-evaluate some of my strongest held beliefs.

I’m not holding back, and I hope it’s encouraging that you can both achieve your goals no matter how crazy it seems, and that you can overcome huge setbacks even when they challenge everything you thought you knew. Let’s dive in!

What’s in this episode:

  • [00:00] Intro

  • [01:08] Courtney’s early life and moves from Minnesota to Texas

  • [05:36] Courtney’s cheerleading ambitions and her life as she strived to reach her goals
