An Inspired Chat with Courtney Wolf of East Cobb

Courtney Wolf shared their story and experiences with us recently and you can find our conversation below.

Courtney, really appreciate you sharing your stories and insights with us. The world would have so much more understanding and empathy if we all were a bit more open about our stories and how they have helped shaped our journey and worldview. Let’s jump in with a fun one: What is something outside of work that is bringing you joy lately?
My newborn son, Carson. He just turned four months old and is in that smiley, giggly, cooing stage…plus, he’s sleeping through the night. It’s the best!

Can you briefly introduce yourself and share what makes you or your brand unique?
Hi hi hi hi hi! I’m Courtney. A corporate America Fortune 500 top 1% of the sales force MBA girlie turned wedding planner turned coach and consultant for creative entrepreneurs. Phew, it’s been a journey!

In my current work, I help creative and entreprenuerial women get what they want. Essentially, it’s me supporting creative small business owners in very specific and tangible ways that enable them to build sustainable and thriving brands by bolding stepping into the fullest version of themselves combined with me identifying and calling out their blind spots, so they can embrace, and enjoy who they are truly called to be. And if you didn’t already know, it’s pure magic!

What sets me apart is my heart as well as my own smarty pants. I genuinely care about my clients, my work and my mission. And while I don’t take myself too seriously, I definitely take my clients and work VERY seriously – I am an energy, strategy and money mindset maven who is a whiz with words and a marketing and sales genius. I’m the perfect fit for creative entreprenuers who are passionate about their craft and want to learn how to take care of business (both strategically and energetically), a skillset I find most creatives are lacking and/or are generally clueless about.

I believe when you change your business, you change your life and I’m most proud of the impact my work has had on so many creative women, specifically. To own their voices, their gifts and come into who they are at a core being level and then show up and live their best lives as their boldest selves.

Ultimately, I’m known for my warm, infectious “contagious confidence” energy and my tell-it-like-it-is no-fluff allowed approach. Like, I’ll be your biggest cheerleader and make you part of the “get it done!” crew – and FAST!

I have a healthy breadth and depth when it comes to my “Zone of Genius” and the kinda stuff I help my clients win at spans from marketing strategy, sales strategy, messaging strategy, pricing strategy, brand strategy, financial empowerment, money mindset, energetics, taking action, relationships, to making sh*t happen and then some.

Thanks for sharing that. Would love to go back in time and hear about how your past might have impacted who you are today. Who saw you clearly before you could see yourself?
This is such a great question and the answer, no doubt, is my high school marketing teacher and DECA advisor, Mr. Dave Shillinglaw. I am forever grateful for him.

When did you last change your mind about something important?
Shoot, I change my mind about important stuff all.the.time!

As an entrepreneur, it can be a tough gig. Especially as a mom to two small boys (William, 4 and Carson, 4 months) so the thrill and ease of returning to corporate America has flirted with me in this new and unknown season of juggling multiple businesses, a house and home, the boys and of course, myself, too. A steady paycheck, clocking in from 9-5 and cushy benefits has attempted to woo me. I thought I wanted to return so I started putting pieces of that puzzle together. Then I changed my mind, because I didn’t want my boys in daycare. Then I changed my mind, again, and was like, what the heck, I’ll be a better parent and partner because of it. And then, lo and behold, I changed my mind yet again because there is nothing like the freedom I have now to do what I want, when I want and how I want.

Next, maybe we can discuss some of your foundational philosophies and views? Is the public version of you the real you?
I hate to break it to folks, but what you see is what you get. So, yes. Unequivocally, yes.

Okay, we’ve made it essentially to the end. One last question before you go. Are you doing what you were born to do—or what you were told to do?
I love this so much, because at 39 years old, I’m embracing my whole self and yes, doing exactly what I was born to do, even if the season and shape of it looks different than it did before.
