"When you step away from what’s ‘safe’ and listen to your inner knowing, you open yourself to a life of fulfillment and joy."
Today, I sit down with Courtney Schulnick, a former litigator who left her two-decade-long legal career to follow her passion for mindfulness. Courtney shares her incredible journey of navigating the pressures of a demanding profession, overcoming anxiety, and ultimately choosing to pursue a life aligned with her heart’s desires.
We dive into the pivotal moments that led her to this decision, including her transformative experience with Mindfulness-Based Stress Reduction (MBSR) and how it helped her heal from stress and burnout. Courtney also talks about the challenges of stepping away from the stability of her legal career and into the unknown world of entrepreneurship, where she now teaches mindfulness to legal professionals and corporate teams.
If you’ve ever felt the pull to leave behind what’s familiar and safe in favor of pursuing a dream, this episode will give you the courage and inspiration to take the leap. Courtney’s story reminds us that true success lies in aligning with your passion and trusting the process.
