On today's episode of Liberation, Courtney joins me in conversation to explore the multitudes of ways that our intimate relationships are deep portals into our own personal healing, if we allow them to be. As a woman of divorce and now engaged to her fiance, whom she shares a rich, passionate and safe relationship with, she shares how it's not only possible to heal and receive love that is tender and GOOD, but that it's also an opportunity to resolve the pain of your past to receive what you are truly worthy of. Courtney is a relationship, intimacy and polarity coach who helps women heal personal and relational trauma so they can have deep, intimate relationships that feel safe, supportive AND passionate. What we explored:

• Who Courtney is and the powerful work she is doing
• How her divorce and rocky past with relationships initiated her into how she serves others today through her programs and private coaching
• How to use conflict as an initiator into deeper intimacy and connection in your relationship
• How she had been invited deeper into her own personal healing through her past and current relationships
• What it looks like to navigate conflict with your partner while remaining heart-centred, open and connected
• What a healthy vs wounded relationship looks and is experienced like.
• The awakening of the divine inner feminine and healing 'good-girl' trauma from religious indoctrination to embody our sensuality and feminine essence even more fully
• How our divine feminine essence is not separate from our human experience
• When we leave relationships *too* soon and when it's time to anchor in deeper instead
• Breaking intergenerational sexual trauma for past and future lineage
• Our healing isn't linear and how to give yourself compassion and be with the trigger before it impacts the trajectory of your current relationship
• Intentionally desiring your spouse again (especially as parents)
• and soo much more!
