How do I find the courage to keep going despite my mental health struggles? Is it possible to build a business AND be a mom? Am I bad mom? How can I connect with like-minded women?
Welcome to The Chasing Courage Podcast, a space surrounding personal development, mental health and motherhood.
Host Courtney Wendzicki knows that you have dreams, and just because you have a tiny human to keep alive or toddler tantrums to survive, that after doesn't mean you have to stop chasing those dreams. So let's be courageous, navigate the anxiety and become the best DAMN version of ourselves!!
62. Becoming an Entrepreneur + mom on a mission with Amy Traugh
The year 2020 impacted us all and for my guest and friend, Amy Traugh, it changed her life. Amy took a voluntary furlough from a career in physical therapy to home school her children during that time and then build her first business.
In this conversation we discuss that journey of building her first successful business which in turn helped her discover an even deeper passion, empowering women with the skills to do the same.
Amy is a mother of 2, the founder of the community Moms on a Mission, host of The Motivated Mompreneur (with over 200 episodes in 1 year!) and a Business Mentor.
This local Ohio woman is a friend to me, an inspiration to me and I hope that she encourages you, I hope that our chat about mom expectations makes you feel a little less alone and I really hope if you are able you will join us at her event CONFIDENCE SELLS on OCT. 12, 2023 in Canton, OH.

61. 10 Takeaways from Summit of Greatness, Making a DAMN Decision + 3x a charm!
What started in the middle of the pandemic is finally, 3 years later, going to get my full time and attention again... well as much time and attention as a mom of two who also works part time can give lol
This podcast has always meant so much to me, even as I have started other podcasts, started a business, etc. I could never fully step away. So now here we are again for a 3rd go around, for the 3rd year stepping into what I'm simply passionate about; sharing and connecting with you on all things mental health, motherhood and personal growth.
I also share in this comeback episode my takeaways from a personal growth summit that I recently attended in Columbus Ohio, the Summit of Greatness. It was my first time attending this event put on by Lewis Howes and I was NOT disappointed!
In this episode we talk about slowing down to speed up, why I'm in the process of phasing out my social media mgmt business I've spent the last year and a half building, I dive into what it means to be the rock but how I desire to be more like water and also a little bit about changes in and with me since becoming a mom to 2.
I am sure that at least 1 if not more of these takeaways are going to hit home with you, regardless if you are a mama or not.
Come connect with me on Instagram @courtney_wendzicki, this is the only account going forward as of Sept. 2023 that I will be posting on and updating on a regular basis.

60. THE ONE WHERE I interview my husband: Rob's take on my FIRST YEAR in Entrepreneurship
In this episode I sit down in my home office with my husband :)
This conversation is actually our 2nd time recording a podcast together, if you wish to check out the first go back to Episode 31: My favorite story: OURS
In this episode Rob answers questions surrounding my career path and his take on my first year in full-time Entrepreneurship.
We discuss:
At what point did Rob know that I had no idea what I actually wanted to do, career wise?
What did he think when I said I was going to leave my 'traditional' job to become a nanny?
What impact does he believe that personal growth, therapy and podcasting had / have on my mental health?
What was one of his greatest fears as I stepped away from working for someone else to working for myself?
Is my Rob jealous or mad that I take naps in the middle of the day? LOL
How much money did I make in my first year of entrepreneurship?
What is something about me that has changed since we first met 9 years ago?
What is one thing that has NOT changed about me? And that he doesn't want to change
What is his ideal goal / plan for us + our careers?
Listening back to this I'm just proud; proud of myself, proud of my marriage, proud of what we are creating - a life and careers worth celebrating #confettiworthy
Share your biggest takeaways on social and TAG me @courtney_wendzicki so I can personally THANK YOU!!
+ I send my love and gratitude to you for choosing to press PLAY on this episode today :)
