Listen "Courtney Rothberg - Walking Each Other Home"
Episode Synopsis
Welcome back to Kind of a Mess. It's my pleasure to introduce you to Courtney Rothberg. The founder of The Sacred Umbrella, a space for exploration, remembrance and coming home to yourself. She’s a writer, astrologer, reiki practitioner, seeker, and someone who brings deep reverence to the human experience. Courtney is the kind of person who makes you feel seen, not in a glossy, surface-level way, but in a soul-deep, real-life, no-performances-here kind of way.In this episode, we talk about everything from addiction and personal transformation to astrology, emotional accountability and the messy, mystical journey of becoming. We unpack what it means to live awake in a world that often wants us numb, and how returning to the body , and to ourselves, is the most radical thing we can do.This is an invitation into softness, into truth, and into real connection.CHAPTERS 00:00 – Reflections on Teenage Years and Personal Growth 05:09 – Catalyst for Change: The 2015 Turning Point 07:52 – Navigating Addiction and Relationships 10:31 – Support Systems and Therapy 13:06 – The Journey of Healing and Self-Discovery 16:22 – Understanding Addiction and Its Impact 17:58 – Finding Balance and Personal Practices 20:53 – Spiritual Awakening and Astrology 23:57 – Tools for Navigating Life's Challenges 32:19 – Understanding Astrology: The Core Elements 35:21 – The Journey of Self-Discovery and Emotional Awareness 38:12 – The Impact of Alcohol on Personal Growth 43:50 – Collective Shifts: Moving Away from Numbing 49:35 – The Power of Community and Real Connections 58:13 – Finding Community and Nourishment 01:00:07 – Trusting Inner Calls and Letting Go of Noise 01:03:16 – Embracing the Mess and Personal Accountability 01:05:59 – The Journey of Self-Discovery and Transformation 01:08:47 – Creating a Space for Authentic Conversations 01:11:20 – The Role of Experience in Personal Growth 01:13:51 – The Sacred Umbrella: A Journey Home Follow us on Instagram- @kind_of__a_mess, and follow Courtney at The Sacred Umbrella https://www.thesacredumbrella.com/@thesacredumbrella
