  • Summary

  • she was the fire. is a go to guide for every 20,30 or 40-something yr old woman looking for advice and hacks on how to ignite her fire, own her crown, organise her schedule and live her best damn life… whatever that means! But let me introduce myself, I’m Courtney & just before my 30th birthday I thought I had life sorted. I was a successful business owner, driven and fiercely independent - with a Louis Vuitton bag in one hand and pina colada in the other! But then, one day sitting in a doctor’s office, everything came crashing down…Stage 4 Cancer…WTF! In an instant this pragmatic and ‘I’m too busy to meditate’ girl knew she needed to take make a change, so I dived headfirst into becoming my ‘best self’, or whatever Oprah says. she was the fire. is a witty & brutally honest insight into my life, sharing recaps from my self-development wins & fails, my ticking biological clock, my on-again-off-again relationship with diets, my best tips for every aspiring girl boss, oh, and did I mention my TV and beauty addiction? Because I have 100’s of TV show and mascara recommendations for you too! Yes, my world turned upside down and I thought I might break...but instead, I realised, I was the fire and I’m here to help you realise that too. Some women fear the fire, some women simply become it - R.H.Shin New episodes of my podcast will be coming every Tuesday & I can’t wait to share it with you, so make sure you subscribe so you don’t miss my first episode.
