    How many times have you had something important to say and talked yourself out of saying it?

    Not because you didn't have the words. But because you didn't want to make it awkward. Didn't want to take up too much space. Didn't want to rock the boat.

    This episode is for every woman who has ever stayed quiet in a room she was meant to speak in.

    Marta Spirk is a public speaking coach and visibility expert who helps women find their voice and use it, on stages, in meetings, in their lives. But before she was teaching others to speak up, she was learning how to do it herself. As a mother of triplets who moved countries with three newborns and no village, Marta found herself lost in the overwhelm, staying busy, staying quiet, and slowly disappearing inside her own life.

    What brought her back? Her children. Her chaos. And the moment she realized her voice wasn't gone. She had just been the one telling it to wait.

    In this episode, Marta and Courtney explore what it actually looks like to find your voice when life has stripped everything familiar away, why women are conditioned to silence themselves, and how speaking up, even imperfectly, is one of the most powerful things you will ever do.

    This one is for the woman who has been staying quiet for too long. Your voice is still there. The boat needs rocking.

    In this episode:

    • Why so many women self silence and what it's quietly costing them
    • How having triplets and moving countries forced Marta to find her voice
    • Why your voice doesn't have to be perfect to be powerful
    • What it means to take up space as a woman, a mother, and a leader
    • How to start speaking up even when it feels uncomfortable or scary
    • Why finding your voice is one of the greatest acts of self trust you can make

    About this episode:

    You've been so good at making everyone else comfortable.

    And somewhere along the way, you stopped checking in with yourself.

    If you've ever looked up and thought,  I don't even know what I want anymore, this episode is for you.

    Christy Hughes is a confidence coach and author who helps quiet women build voice and visibility. But before she was doing that work for others, she was doing it for herself. In this conversation, Christy opens up about her journey through alcoholism, sobriety, and the moment she realized her people-pleasing wasn't a personality trait — it was a coping mechanism.

    This one goes deep. And it goes there gently.

    In this episode:

    • Why people-pleasing and perfectionism can quietly drive unhealthy coping habits
    • What it feels like to hit a turning point and actually choose something different
    • The permission to pivot — midlife, mid-story, mid-everything
    • What Christy found when she looked at the women in her family tree
    • Why rest isn't a reward. It's a requirement.

    Christy's book,  Strong Roots, weaves her sobriety story alongside the lives of her grandmothers.

  • I kept trying and failing and it turns out that was the whole point with Rita Richa

    What if everything you thought was a failure was actually working for you?


    That’s the question at the heart of this conversation.


    Rita Richa has had a life full of pivots. A breakup that blindsided her. A car accident that forced her to stop. Career shifts, restarts, and moments where she questioned everything. And somewhere in the middle of all of that bouncing around, she found something most people spend years searching for herself.


    In this episode, Rita opens up about what it actually looks like to rebuild your confidence after something knocks you down, why the pressure to get it right is the thing keeping you stuck, and how learning to trust the process of trying, even when it fails, is the most powerful thing you can do.


    If you’ve ever felt like you were all over the place, like you couldn’t just pick one thing and stick with it, or like everyone else had it figured out except you, this episode is going to hit.


    In this episode:

    • Why a blindsiding breakup became the turning point that changed everything
    • - How a car accident forced Rita to slow down and finally listen to herself
    • - What the pressure to get it perfect is actually costing you
    • - Why trying and failing isn’t the problem, it’s the path
    • - How to rebuild confidence when you’ve lost sight of who you are


    Rita’s Human Design as a Manifesting Generator with a ⅓ profile says it all. She’s literally designed to learn through experience to try, pivot, and build wisdom through living it. Her Sacral authority means her body already knows the answer before her mind catches up. And Gate 54 gives her that relentless drive to keep climbing, even when the path isn’t clear yet.


    This isn’t a story about finally getting it right. It’s a story about realizing the trying was never wrong.

    About this episode

    If you’ve ever felt like you’re carrying more than anyone can see…

    this episode is for you.

    In this deeply honest conversation, Courtney sits down with Sherwanna Livingston to talk about what it feels like to carry invisible weight—and what it takes to reach out when everything feels too heavy to hold alone.

    Sherwanna shares her personal story of struggling in silence, navigating dark moments, and making the brave decision to reach out for help. That one moment—choosing to not carry it alone—became a turning point in her life.

    Together, they explore the reality that so many high-achieving women face:

    • looking like everything is fine on the outside

    • while quietly carrying overwhelming emotional weight

    • and feeling like no one else could possibly understand

    This conversation is a reminder that:

    you are not alone—and you don’t have to carry it all by yourself.

    https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCBU0AhTBGePcgDnz1wfUxRwIn this episode of ROI of Peace, Courtney Koenig sits down with Kat Weaver to explore the tension so many women feel: believing in their vision, while simultaneously doubting if they can actually bring it to life.

    As a Projector in Human Design, Kat has a natural ability to see things from a zoomed-out perspective. She can recognize patterns, direction, and potential before others do. But that clarity doesn’t always come with immediate support.

    Kat shares her journey of pursuing a path she knew was right for her—even when people in her life questioned it or told her not to go that direction. Instead of abandoning her vision, she learned how to anchor into her own wisdom.

    This is where the Overthinker shows up.

    So many of us believe that if we just think through every “what if,” we’ll make better decisions. But in reality, overthinking often pulls us further away from clarity and deeper into doubt.

    Together, Courtney and Kat explore:

    • The power of the Projector perspective and seeing what others can’t

    • How to trust your inner knowing when external voices say otherwise

    • Why the Overthinker creates more confusion, not better outcomes

    • The difference between clarity and over-analysis

    • Anchoring into your own wisdom instead of outsourcing your decisions

    This episode is a reminder that your vision isn’t the problemand your ability isn’t either. The real shift happens when you stop overthinking and start trusting what you already know.
