Change is inevitable, and during this session you will learn how to navigate it, make aligned decisions, and embrace your unique leadership style without comparing yourself to others.

Coming Home: Awakening the Divine Feminine Through Intuition
This session with Courtney invites you to reconnect with the divine feminine within, a part of you that has been quieted in a world that celebrates doing over being, performance over presence, and logic over emotion. You will explore how embracing the divine feminine is not only about softness or slowness, but about radical permission to feel and to let those feelings guide you back to your intuition. -

In this session, guests will discover how micro-adjustments in attention, posture, and imagination can spark immediate, felt changes in the body, mind, and nervous system. These experiential practices mirror the tools elite athletes use to strengthen mental fitness: regulating physiology, expanding bandwidth, and training the brain to stay calm and focused under pressure. Threaded throughout is intention-setting: guests will leave not only with clarity about what they want to cultivate but also with an embodied understanding of how to access it and how emotional intelligence and presence can make expansion feel safe, sustainable, and effortless.
