After years of supporting the show behind the scenes, Courtney steps into the spotlight to share her story, her growth, and the transformation so many of you have been asking about. Together, we talk about what it’s really like to navigate change, visibility, body image, career shifts, and confidence in a season of life that asks more of us than we often expect.
