Između - Season 1 Episode 8 - Between Being and Becoming with Courtney Durr
In this eight episode of Između, the radiant Courtney Durr and I sat down for a really honest conversation about self-worth, perfectionism, identity, and the tension between wanting more from life whilst also trying to feel content with where you already are. Courtney is a self-worth coach and founder of 'Worthwild' — helping people reconnect with themselves through coaching, community, and some very grounded wisdom around what it means to live more authentically. We ended up speaking about something I think many of us quietly wrestle with — this feeling that happiness, confidence, peace, success (whatever that thing is for you) exists somewhere ahead of us. Like we’ll finally arrive when we become the “better” version of ourselves. Courtney shares openly about her own journey of redefining success, learning to honour herself more deeply, building healthier relationships, and letting go of the idea that achievement alone equals worth. We talk boundaries, the benefits of journaling, difficult conversations, self-development (the real and messy version), and what it looks like to meet yourself with more honesty and compassion along the way. Something I really loved about this conversation was how hopeful it felt. Not in a “fix yourself” kind of way, but in the reminder that growth can be gentle, self-awareness matters, and becoming more yourself is a lifelong process. And I think that’s something I care deeply about with Između as a whole — these conversations aren’t about giving advice or pretending to have the answers. They’re about sharing stories, perspectives, and lived experiences in the hope that something resonates, sparks reflection, or helps you understand yourself a little more deeply. No matter what you are focusing on right now, I have a feeling there’ll be something in this episode for you 🫶 Chapters: (00:00) Meeting Courtney (05:00) What success means: fulfilment vs external validation (12:00) Learning to stay present (20:00) Perfectionism, ambition & impossible standards (30:00) Achievement, self-worth & feeling “enough” (42:00) Courtney’s early twenties & redefining direction (51:00) Building community & creating meaningful work (1:00:00) The reality of healing & doing the inner work (1:12:00) Boundaries, honesty & difficult conversations (1:24:00) Journaling, self-awareness & emotional honesty (1:35:00) Letting go of perfection & becoming more yourself Guest: Courtney Durr — self-worth coach, founder of 'Worthwild', podcast host, personal trainer and facilitator helping people reconnect with themselves through coaching, mindfulness, and emotional growth.

Između - Season 1 Episode 7 - Between Being and Becoming with Kirsty Dalton
In the seventh episode of Između, Amy sits down with Kirsty for a conversation about her story leading up to the creation of Bow Studios, navigating the identity shifts that happened throughout various different chapters of her life in her 20s and 30s, and learning to trust herself through seasons of change. Kirsty shares how her definition of success has shifted away from external validation, and towards something more internal: “genuine happiness” — not the curated version we see online, but the feeling of being at peace with yourself. She opens up about returning home after living and working overseas, and the feeling of suddenly comparing yourself to others, questioning your path, and wondering if you’re “behind.” From there, the episode focuses on a season of intense transition. Kirsty talks about navigating multiple roles at once: working part-time, becoming a mother, and building something of her own from the ground up. She shares what it was like to go out on a limb and open her own dance studio, Bow Studios, without having everything figured out — and how that decision required trust and willingness to take risks, as well as the support of the people around her. She also reflects on creating and directing her own dance show, 'Unwrapped', which sold out in November 2025 — a milestone that, while exciting from the outside, came with its own pressures behind the scenes. Kirsty speaks about what it was like holding multiple identities at once — being a business owner, a creative, a mother, and an individual still figuring things out — and the reality that growth often doesn’t happen in neat, linear steps. Throughout the episode, there is a strong emphasis on learning to sit in uncertainty. Rather than rushing to have everything figured out, Kirsty reflects on the importance of trusting your intuition, tuning out external noise, and allowing yourself to move forward even when the path isn’t completely clear. Have a listen / watch if you are currently navigating change, building something of your own, or feeling the pressure to “have it all together” — for a reminder that growth often happens in the moments where you take a chance before you feel fully ready. Chapters: (00:00) What success means: happiness vs “highlight reel” (06:00) Discipline, pressure & internal comparison (16:00) Life in a “bubble” & performance culture (25:30) Knowing when something no longer aligns (28:00) Returning home & feeling “behind" (32:00) Pressure, comparison & redefining direction (35:00) Becoming a mum: identity & life shifts (42:00) Starting Bow Studios: taking a leap (52:00) Building something from the ground up (1:05:00) Creating Unwrapped & selling out her first show (1:18:00) Holding multiple identities at once (1:30:00) Trusting intuition & embracing uncertainty Guest: Kirsty — professional dancer, studio owner (Bow Studios), and mum, currently navigating a season of growth, creativity, and building a life aligned with what truly matters.

Između - Season 1 Episode 6 - Between Being and Becoming with Kelly Gardner
In the sixth episode of Između, Amy sits down with Kelly for a conversation about identity, burnout, and what happens when your life looks “successful” on paper but feels misaligned on the inside. Kelly shares her journey from growing up in South Auckland and studying communications, to working in the advertising industry in New Zealand and London. What began as a bold fresh start for Kelly following a breakup quickly became a bit of a pressure-cooker: high stakes campaigns, feeling like she was constantly having to prove her herself, and loneliness (which can often come with moving overseas, especially to somewhere like London, but which people don't see on the highlight reel on social media). A central theme of the episode is the difference between looking successful and feeling successful. Kelly reflects on how she came to realise that ambition, the need to control, and constantly “moving her bar” kept her in a pretty exhausting cycle of achievement. She speaks openly about the insomnia she suffered, nervous system overwhelm, the moment she finally admitted to her family that she wasn’t okay, and how she knew when it was time for her to go home. Kelly then moved back to New Zealand and entered a new kind of uncertainty: letting go of a corporate identity without knowing what would replace it. She talks about the discomfort of being “between selves,” the fear of being seen (online and in real life), and how experimenting — rather than over-planning — has become her new way forward (even though this is still out of her comfort zone!). Later, Amy and Kelly discuss what healing your nervous system can involve, how to follow your intuition, and mind–body connection. Kelly shares why she began studying holistic life coaching and mind–body work, what it’s like to step into a path that doesn’t feel “traditional". Have a listen / watch if you are currently facing a big life decision for a reminder that real growth often lives inside the choices that scare you. Chapters: (00:00) What success means now (06:30) Studying communications & early pressure to “have a plan” (16:30) Career path: NZ media → London (27:30) The reality of moving overseas (and the highlight reel) (39:30) Burnout, insomnia, and high-stakes work (55:30) Knowing when to pivot (1:06:30) Coming back to NZ: relief, and realignment (1:18:00) Identity shifts & starting again (1:30:00) Choosing a new path: holistic coaching & mind–body work (1:43:00) Fear of being seen & posting online (1:55:00) Being vs becoming: intuition, presence, and nervous system (2:08:30) Advice for anyone facing a big decision “If it’s the choice that scares you the most, that’s often the one that will grow you the most.” Guest: Kelly — former advertising / brand partnerships professional, now a qualified holistic life and mind–body connection coach, currently exploring a new chapter of purpose-led work.
