What if some of the things you’ve spent years criticizing about yourself are actually connected to how God intentionally wired you?

In this episode, I’m sharing a powerful conversation from a Beloved who realized her sensitivity, attentiveness, and servant heart weren’t weaknesses to hide — they were gifts to steward wisely.

Together, we explore:

• why women often mislabel their gifts as flaws
• how gifts influence everyday life far beyond church roles
• the difference between refining a gift and rejecting yourself
• why awareness is only the starting point
• and how understanding your wiring can help you carry your life with more peace, clarity, and intention

This conversation is deeply practical, encouraging, and rooted in the reminder that God designed people differently on purpose.

Who in your life helps reflect your gifts back to you honestly and compassionately?

And if no one immediately comes to mind, maybe that’s simply something worth noticing.

The God-Given Gifts Chat is a one-on-one conversation where we explore:

• what’s going on in your current season
• what seems to light you up
• how your gifts may already be showing up in your everyday life
• and possible life-giving next steps or shifts

It’s also a space to explore whether deeper coaching support may be a good fit for you.

A quick summer update: I'm intentionally keeping my calendar lighter this summer so I can serve well and stay present with my family. Because of that, I'll only be opening 4 God-Given Gifts Chat spots across June and July. If a conversation has been on your heart, I'd love to connect.

Today's bonus conversation is a replay from a recent Tribe Beloved gathering.

Image Consultant Jackie Wheeler joins us for a practical and encouraging conversation about building a wardrobe that reflects who God uniquely created you to be.

Rather than following rigid fashion rules or chasing trends, Jackie shares how understanding your body, personal style, colors, and everyday life can help you create a capsule wardrobe that feels both chic and uniquely yours.

Whether you've ever felt stuck in your closet, overwhelmed by too many choices, or unsure how to express your personality through what you wear, this conversation offers thoughtful encouragement and practical wisdom rooted in stewardship, intentionality, and grace.

In this conversation, you'll hear about:

• Building a capsule wardrobe that fits your life and personality
• Understanding body shape, color, and personal style without feeling boxed in
• Reducing decision fatigue by creating a wardrobe that works together
• Shopping with intention instead of impulse
• Why you don't need permission to embrace the style that feels authentically you

What if the problem isn't that you're failing—but that you're interpreting every struggle as proof that something is wrong with you?

In this Connection Call-style episode, Cortney explores the difference between shame and information, how recurring frustrations can reveal important patterns, and why compassion creates room for growth.

Because maybe the question isn't: "What's wrong with me?"

Maybe it's: "What's actually happening here?"

💭 Reflection Questions:

• Where am I feeling frustrated or defeated?
• What's actually happening there?
• What small adjustment or experiment might support me better right now?

Sometimes simply naming what's real is the first step toward less second-guessing yourself and more genuine confidence.
