hi, i'm courtney
I grew up in a single-family home with my amazing and beautiful mother.
My entire life, I have battled severe anxiety and depression.
When I was 13, the depression got so bad that I tried to take my own life, and I was sent to a mental health rehab facility. When I was 15, I was sent to a ranch to try and get help, but all it did was make me more depressed and anxious.
On my 16th birthday, I was moved to a mental institution and held for a 48-hour watch. After that, for so many years, I did anything and everything to hurt myself and those who loved me because I wasn't happy with who I was.
A year and a half ago, I was lost and hit rock bottom. I was someone I didn't know anymore. I felt worthless. I felt angry. I lost all hope. I didn't care about myself or what happened to me. I had no clue what my purpose was and why I was here in this world. Most days, I couldn't even leave my house because the anxiety consumed my entire being. I would stay held captive in my bed for weeks on end.
One morning, I woke up with a fire and determination inside myself that I had never felt before. On that day, I promised myself that I would find my strength, find my purpose in this life, and start a journey of self-discovery.
After some time, the confidence in myself and others came back. I found a strength inside me that I never knew was there. I found a genuine, smart, funny, and beautiful being inside of me. I found the love I should have had for myself the entire time. I fell in love with who I am inside and out. I found my purpose in life.
My mission and purpose in this life is to unveil the profound truth that everything we seek; love, strength, courage, and happiness, can be found within us. I want to be that guiding light for others, helping them discover their inner power and strength. Let’s embark on this incredible journey together, reminding one another that we are more capable than we could ever imagine. Trust in yourself, embrace your uniqueness, and always remember, the magic lies within you.
That's why I'm sharing my journey.
