    Ivy Insights

    The Mindset for Medical Moms podcast has had a profound impact on me and has truly changed my life. From the moment I stumbled upon Cortney's Instagram and podcast, I knew that I had found something special. As a medical mom, this podcast has been an invaluable resource in helping me process and grieve, while also finding joy in my role as a medical mom and as a human being.

    One of the best aspects of this podcast is how relatable it is. Cortney seems to have an uncanny ability to get inside my head and understand exactly what I'm feeling and thinking. Listening to her advice makes me feel understood and reassured that I'm not alone or crazy for the emotions that come with being a medical mom. Even if I'm not quite ready to fully embrace all of her advice, just knowing that someone else understands what I'm going through is incredibly comforting.

    Cortney herself is the perfect combination of funny, inspiring, and authentic. Her storytelling abilities are top-notch, and she knows just how to make you laugh one moment and bring tears to your eyes the next. This podcast is not only informative but also highly entertaining. It's a must-listen for parents, whether they're medical moms or not.

    While there aren't many negative aspects to this podcast, one minor drawback could be that some episodes may not be directly applicable to those who aren't medical moms themselves. However, even for non-medical moms like myself, there is still so much valuable information and inspiration to take away from each episode. The topics discussed are universal when it comes to mindset shifts and self-care, making this podcast relevant for any parent or individual looking for personal growth.

    In conclusion, The Mindset for Medical Moms podcast is an absolute gem that has the power to change lives. Cortney's knowledge as a medical mom herself combined with her skills as a coach make this podcast incredibly helpful for navigating the emotional complexities of being a medical parent. Whether you're a medical mom or not, this podcast offers practical tools, wisdom, and encouragement that will leave you feeling empowered and inspired. I highly recommend it to anyone on their journey of self-discovery and personal growth.
