I open up about what it looks like to follow your joy and excitement as a compass, how much I’ve been loving learning to shuffle (and the gift of embracing the beginner’s mindset), and why allowing ourselves to play, learn, and be humbled keeps us lit up and alive. I also talk about what’s happening behind the scenes in my world: my work being beautifully full, getting ready for my Retreat in Iceland (2 weeks away!), my plans to rent out my house in February so I can travel & of course I share a few surprises.

Today (8/20) I’m celebrating a huge milestone: 200 days alcohol-free! 🥳 In this episode, I share my honest journey - what life looked like before, the challenges that no one saw but me, why I decided to quit & why I now see this as one of the best decisions of my life. I’m not here to judge & def not telling you what to do. I’m simply sharing my story for those curious about what life looks like on the other side of alcohol. You’ll hear: ✨ How I approached quitting alcohol the same way I approach wellness: by getting to the  root cause ✨ Why I was drinking in the past & the consequences I experienced ✨ How building an inner world I didn’t need to escape from changed everything ✨ The ripple effect of going alcohol-free: improved health (on all levels), deeper confidence, stronger boundaries, more creativity, bigger business wins & a powerful sense of alignment & peace. I also share some powerful points regarding the energetics of alcohol thanks to @thisismariyaofficial: ⚡️ Alcohol has a consciousness/spirit ⚡️ It puts you in energetic debt ⚡️ Creates energetic hooks in your body ⚡️ Creates holes in your aura ⚡️ Lowers your vibe ⚡️ Collapses your energy into the lower chakras ⚡️ Steals energy from your future ⚡️ Delays your ability to fully awaken,  If you’ve ever thought “I could never give up alcohol,” I hope this episode inspires you to see what’s possible when you choose differently. And if you’re curious about exploring your own alcohol-free season, I created The 30 Day Glōw Up as a supportive space to reset your health, mindset & lifestyle alongside like-hearted women.  We start Monday & you can sign up here 👉 The 30 Day Glōw Up   💫 Resources & Links Mentioned: The “Days Since” app for tracking progress The 30 Day Glōw Up program → [JOIN NOW] The Unique Way Podcast, Episode 80: Why I’m Embracing the Alcohol-Free Lifestyle & Why Normal is Broken: → [listen here]   Join the next round of The 30 Day Glōw Up → [sign up here] _________________________________ Connect with Cortney WEBSITE INSTAGRAM UNIQUE WAY INSTAGRAM NEWSLETTER _________________________________ Upcoming Retreats: Iceland Yoga Retreat – October 18-25, 2025 (SOLD OUT - hop on the waitlist) Charleston Private Retreat (you pick the dates!)

In today’s solo episode, I’m giving you a peek behind the scenes of the Lake Keowee Glōw Up Retreat - the experience, the breakthroughs, and the pure magic that unfolded over the weekend. I share how there was a season where I felt completely burnt out from hosting retreats and teaching public classes. I knew I needed to step back and take a sacred pause, so I did just that. For a couple of years, I went inward and did the deep, energetic work that doesn’t always show on the surface…but shifts everything. And let me tell you - it worked. That’s exactly why I created The Glōw Up brand - to share how I went from burnt out to glōwed up & to show you that it’s possible for you too.  In this episode, I share: A behind-the-scenes look at the Glōw Up Retreat What does it mean to “Glōw Up”? A step-by-step guide to upgrade your Identity as you upgrade your vision, goals & life Personal reflections, takeaways & celebrations from the weekend What’s new and exciting in this round of The 30 Day Glōw Up - including strength training & yoga classes, new illuminations (16 & counting!) & so much more.   The 30 Day Glōw Up: Doors are OPEN & we start August 25th!

This episode is raw, real, and straight from the heart. Recorded on the fly as Cortney prepares to travel and be with her grandpa (who is currently in the hospital) this conversation explores the depths of grief, the cycles of life, death, and rebirth, and what it means to truly feel it all. Cortney reflects on: The gift of being alcohol-free during emotional seasons & the power of sitting with grief without numbing Why “Glōwing Up” isn’t just about basking in the light - it’s about having the courage to face the dark (the pain, the shadow & the messy parts we’d rather avoid) How facing the reality of death can give us a newfound appreciation for life. How exploring our shadows helps us step into our light more fully This episode is a reminder that life is precious & a true glōw up doesn’t come from pretending life is perfect - but in the moments you choose not to hide from the dark. If you're navigating grief or loss, you’re not alone.

In this powerful episode, we explore what it really means to break free from the “good girl prison” and reclaim the wild, sensual, embodied self that lives within all of us. Topics of Conversation: ✨ Why people are so triggered by the presence of a sensual, embodied woman and how those triggers are actually invitations to growth. ✨ How judgment can reveal your next edge and why the best teachers might trigger you. ✨ Her inspiring story and the creation of her studio that doesn’t fit in any box - where self-reclamation, sisterhood, and sensual movement meet. ✨ The magic of her 6-foot round sensory mats (yes, they’re as incredible as they sound) and the signature slow and wild movement method. ✨ The power of moving beyond rigid, linear movement practices into something fluid, freeing, and deeply feminine. ✨ The 10 themes of self-reclamation explored in her Slow & Wild method: Body, Voice, Time, Space, Intuition, Sensuality, Sexuality, Spirituality, Passion, Desire. ✨ The balance of Alpha/Omega and masculine/feminine dynamics and how this transforms relationships. ✨ And yes—we talk about her Dirty Vanilla Parties (part workshop, part sex-ed, part dance party!) “Out beyond ideas of wrongdoing and rightdoing, there is a field—meet me there.” - Rumi   ✨ Links + Resources Slow & Wild Studios Dirty Vanilla Parties Slow & Wild on Instagram Book recommendation: Unbound   🎧 Listen now on Apple, Spotify, or wherever you stream your podcasts 📱 If this episode speaks to you, share it with a friend & tag us on social 💖 Join the Waitlist for The 30 Day Glōw Up August Session _________________________________ Kris Ward is a lifelong dancer, choreographer, somatic movement teacher, and Self-Reclamation Coach.
