  • 10. “I Thought I Was Just Sensitive”

    Ever been told you were “too sensitive”? Or “too much”? You’re not alone.


    In this episode, Cortney shares how traits like empathy, emotional attunement, and creating safe spaces aren’t liabilities—they’re strengths. You’ll hear how God wires us differently, how Feeling and Thinking gifts work together, and why your sensitivity might just be one of your God-given superpowers.


    🎧 In this episode:

    • The story of a friend who reframed “too sensitive” as “deeply gifted”
    • How practical gifts often get praised while emotional gifts get overlooked
    • A fresh look at Feeling vs. Thinking in decision-making
    • Encouragement to honor your wiring without apology


    👉 Reflection Question: Have you ever been told you were “too ___”? (Sensitive, passionate, structured, etc.)

  • 9. “I don’t know what my gifts are.”

    What if your gifts are already there—just buried under second-guessing, life’s demands, or old messages that told you to tone it down?


    In this episode, Cortney shares why “I don’t know what my gifts are” isn’t the end of the story—it’s often the beginning. You’ll hear a powerful reframe, discover three reasons your gifts may feel hidden, and leave with one gentle next step to uncover what God’s already planted in you.


    🎧 You’ll hear:

    • Why feeling “giftless” doesn’t mean you are
    • How family, burnout, and spiritual fog can cloud your view
    • A soul-soothing reminder from 2 Timothy 1:6
    • An invitation to name and nurture your God-given wiring


    👉 Reflection Question: What’s one area of your life where you feel most like you? Even if it’s messy or small—pay attention to that.

  • 4. Beloved, you are not a failure. Let’s rewrite this story.✍🏻

    If you've ever felt "too much" or "not enough"—too sensitive, too quiet, too loud, too tender-hearted, too driven—this love note is for you.


    You are not a disappointment. You are not broken. And the gifts God placed in you? They are not a mistake.


    In this episode, Cortney invites you to tear up the labels that have held you back and embrace the truth:

    🖌️ You are God's masterpiece.

    🕊️ You were designed with intention.

    🌿 Your gifts are part of His beautiful plan.


    This isn’t about self-help hype. It’s about re-grounding your identity in what God has already said is true about you.

  • 6. Why Am I Like This? 😖 (And How to Ask a Better Question)

    How many times have you asked yourself, “Why am I like this?”—especially after a tough conversation, a moment of indecision, or one of those “what was I thinking?” spirals?

    In this love note, Cortney gently reframes that question into something better, kinder, and actually useful:


    “What went wrong here—and what can I do about it now?”


    You’ll explore:

    • Why “Why am I like this?” is a loaded baked potato 🥔 of a question
    • How grace + growth can happen when we get curious instead of critical
    • A simple 5-step reflection to help you move forward with clarity and kindness


    ✨ You are not a problem to be solved. You are God’s beloved—designed with purpose and grace.

    If you've been wondering what a God-Given Gifts Chat actually is—or if you're even "ready" for one—this is for you.

    • “What if I don’t know what I need?”

    • “I feel too all-over-the-place to even start.”

  • 3. We've got to talk about this ☎️

    Before we go any further in exploring your God-given gifts, we’ve got to talk about the uninvited guests that sneak into the conversation:
