— the heart behind Fearlessly Aligned.

As a soldier, leader, and protector, my nervous system learned how to stay alert, push through, and perform under pressure. Stillness didn’t feel safe — it felt unfamiliar. Silence felt like something was wrong.

When I retired from the military, after 20 years of service, everything I had built my identity around disappeared overnight. The structure, the mission, the uniform — gone. I wasn’t just burned out; I was disconnected. I knew I no longer had to live in survival mode, but I didn’t know who I was without it.

That moment changed everything.

Hi, I am Courtnee

Sound healing entered my life not as a trend, but as a necessity. It was one of the first times my body learned, slowly and safely, that rest didn’t mean danger. That stillness didn’t mean failure. That peace was something I was allowed to experience, not something I had to earn.

Even before sound healing, I began doing deep identity work. I realized how many of us — especially women and veterans — spend years being who we need to be for everyone else, without ever asking who we actually are. Becoming an identity coach wasn’t a career pivot; it was a personal reckoning. I had to rediscover myself before I could help others do the same.

And then there was creativity.

For the first time in my adult life, I had real space to follow a creative pull that had been quiet for years. Creating journals, workbooks, and intentional products became a way to process, express, and rebuild. Teaching others how to turn ideas into something tangible became part of the healing too. Creativity wasn’t a hobby; it was integration.

Fearlessly Aligned was born from that intersection:

  • nervous system regulation through sound healing

  • identity coaching for those rebuilding who they are

  • creative guidance for turning ideas into meaningful reality

This work is for people who’ve lived in fight-or-flight for so long they forgot what alignment feels like. For those learning — sometimes for the first time — that rest can be safe, peace is possible, and healing doesn’t require hustling harder.

I’m also a certified coach, trainer, and speaker with the John Maxwell Leadership Team.

If you’re looking for a grounded guide, honest conversations, and a community that understands survival mode from the inside out — you’re in the right place.

This is your invitation to step out of autopilot and reconnect with who you are beneath it all.
