Courtney shares her journey of turning personal experiences into a powerful force for advocacy, supporting survivors, and fostering systemic change. We explore how she uses her voice to amplify unheard stories, create safe spaces, and challenge harmful systems—all while balancing a career in social work, research, and therapy.
