Welcome to Episode 20 of the Next Level Voices Series on Kultivation w/ Kevie!
In this powerful and deeply reflective episode, I sit down with Cortney McDermott, an award-winning author, TEDx speaker, and human potential enthusiast, to explore what it truly means to redefine success and give yourself permission to reinvent your life.
Cortney opens up about her journey from a high-powered corporate career at Vanity Fair to a life rooted in deeper purpose, balance, and authenticity. We talk about the concept of being “miserably successful,” the hidden cost of chasing external validation, and the courage it takes to shed societal masks that no longer align with who you are becoming.
Our conversation also dives into the science behind relaxation, energy flow, and self-awareness, as Cortney seamlessly blends neuroscience and spirituality. She shares how letting go of constant striving can unlock creativity, clarity, and a more grounded sense of self, allowing space for true fulfillment to emerge.
