Get to Know Courtenay Rogers

Courtenay Rogers is a fervent believer in the triumph of love. She embraces life as the proud mother of an extraordinary teenager, devoted wife to her soulmate, cherished daughter to two loving parents, and sister to the world's greatest brother. Her journey, marked by failures, lessons, love, and serenity, is fueled by an insatiable curiosity and an unwavering commitment to kindness. Her life motto is "love always wins."

Intro - Episode 121

You are in for a special treat with today’s episode — we’re going back to our podcast roots by sharing a no-holds barred personal story of healing.

Today’s guest, Courtenay Rogers, bares her soul as she talks about what it took to recognize certain behaviors in her life that she needed to change and then how she went about doing just that.

In the span of the six years I’ve known Courtenay, she’s completely transformed. She’s absolutely glowing, but it wasn’t an overnight, easy kind of change. It was a deep, healing journey, where she had to go within, choose to let go of many things, like alcohol for example, that had had a steady presence in her life up until the make or break moment. And not only did she have to learn how to feel her emotions again, but she decided to start listening to them.

With this episode, the hope is that if you’re on a healing or awakening journey yourself, that you take comfort in knowing you’re not alone and that you’re also inspired that it can be done. You can absolutely heal, find yourself, and live in a way that’s in complete alignment with that.

But who is Courtenay Rogers? She’s such a presence in the community of Franklin, TN not only from her previous political campaigns to her longstanding career in operations and logistics, but simply because she befriends and connects people. She’s also a Navy veteran who loves her family, friends, and now, herself too. Her life motto is “love always wins.”

We cover topics like making healing decisions in critical life moments, what healing is like, the difference between ego and self love, toxic positivity, letting go of desperation and control, trusting your intuition, and how to start loving yourself. And at the end, we have a quick little bonus discussion on what it’s been like for Courtenay to leave behind her political career as a result of embracing more authenticity in her life.

The amount of honesty and vulnerability Courtenay brings in this conversation is refreshing and can help us look within ourselves with the same intensity of love that she’s found. Let’s hear from her now.
