The Fearless Happyness Podcast Episode 179 with Courtney Shulnick

Learning to Be Mindful in Life with Courtney Schulnick

 

As a Lawyer and Certified Mindfulness Educator, Courtney Schulnick is passionate about helping fellow attorneys and business professionals find ways to manage stress and anxiety better, as she has learned.

 

For the better part of two decades now, Courtney has worked as an attorney defending individuals and businesses in casualty matters in both local, state, and federal courts.

 

As a litigator in a high-pressure environment, Country knows firsthand what chronic stress can do to one’s focus, performance, relationships, and overall health.

 

With a hugely rewarding career and a family she adored, Courtney once found herself close to a virtual breakdown due to the pressure of trying to balance it all.

 

Juggling too much and suffering some personal losses, Courtney found herself unable to enjoy what really mattered in life and knew something had to change.

 

 

To better manage her anxiety and the stressors, Courtney enrolled herself in the Mindfulness-Based Stress Reduction (MBSR) Program offered at the Myrna Brind Center for Mindfulness at Jefferson in Philadelphia, PA.

 

It would be there that Courtney noticed the ways in which the practice of mindfulness increasingly enriched her life on both a professional and personal level.

 

 

The desire to deepen her own practice and share the gift of mindfulness with others encouraged Courtney to complete the extensive MBSR teacher training at Jefferson.

 

Now, as an educator herself, Courtney helps others overcome their anxiety and stress by teaching mindfulness so that they, too, can live more fully in the present moment and achieve greater balance, vitality, and health.

 

Her greatest teachers of all time … Her husband and three young boys.

 

Listen in as Courtney, and I discuss how finding it hard to balance a healthy life helped her discover just how to do that, her mission to help others do the same before they become burned out, and how being mindful has led her to a path of FEARLESS HAPPYNESS!
