In this episode, Courtney dives into one of the most overlooked parts of storytelling and public speaking: practice.

Whether you’re preparing for a keynote, a podcast interview, or a moment of self-introduction, the way you rehearse shapes the way you show up.

Drawing on her background as a competitive dancer (and a mom watching her children practice), Courtney shares how true confidence isn’t about talent, it’s about repetition, reflection, and readiness.

You’ll learn three simple ways to practice like a pro.

If you’ve ever avoided practicing because it feels awkward or unnecessary, this episode will help you see it differently. Because the best storytellers don’t wing it, they prepare with care.

And if you’re ready to grow your skills inside a supportive community, join The Academy.
