About this episode

Courtney shares a personal update on navigating grief and health challenges during pregnancy.

295: In this solo episode, I’m sharing a personal life update and opening up about a really challenging season. Over the past few months, I’ve been navigating the loss of my mom after her long battle with cancer, while also dealing with a toxic mold situation in our home that led to health concerns and unexpected legal stress. I talk about my mom’s journey, what this experience has taught me about health, faith, and resilience, and what it’s been like processing grief while pregnant. I also share more about discovering the mold and how it’s impacted our lives. This episode is a more personal, behind-the-scenes look at what life has been like lately and how I’m moving forward through it all. Topics Discussed: → Grief and losing a parent after a long cancer journey → Navigating pregnancy during an emotional season → Faith, resilience, and mindset through hardship → Toxic mold exposure and its impact on health and housing → Legal challenges and starting over after unexpected life changes Sponsored By: → Function | Own your health for $365 a year.
