Today's episode features a candid conversation with Courtney Myers, a seasoned writer, producer, and creator with an impressive 18-year tenure in Hollywood. Courtney opens up about her transformative journey of discovering her authentic voice in an industry that often celebrates conformity over individuality.

Courtney opens up about her personal experiences with anxiety and mental health. She shares how medication helped her think clearly and function better, but eventually, she transitioned off medication using holistic tools and practices. 

She emphasizes the importance of giving oneself permission to pause, recognizing when we are numbing, and allowing oneself to slow down and reassess priorities. She courageously addresses the challenges of authentic self-expression, from facing potential backlash from loved ones to overcoming the traps of comparison and self-imposed deadlines.

This episode inspires us to be more authentic and the courage it takes to speak one's truth in a world that often encourages us to blend in rather than stand out.
