- The journey of glowing and growing starts with setting a vision for the person you want to be and confronting the hurdles that are stopping you from becoming HER. One of the biggest hurdles for me has been lacking confidence.
From body insecurities, healing from childhood traumas, rejecting labels and even robbing myself of my joy, I've had to learn many lessons as I've grown in confidence over the last few years. Today I wanted to share some of those lessons with you.

Hi, i'm Courtney Daniella and welcome to the #Glowing&Growing journey. At the end of 2021 I quit running my own six-figure business to focus on my personal growth and work on a passion project. I've just moved in with my best friend and we're building 'To My Sisters,' a global digital sisterhood promoting the wellness, growth and development of a community of sisters across the world.
Follow my story this year as it's sure to be full of adventure, life lessons, and transformation. Will I achieve my dream body as I embark on losing over 100lbs? Can To My Sisters become the biggest and most impactful sisterhood community in the world? Where will being dedicated to my education, health, and talent get me by December 2022? I guess we'll both find out as the #GlowingAndGrowing journey unfolds.

I just came across your channel yesterday and I just had to subscribe! Like immediately......You are very articulate and I appreciate your perspective on things.
I realized that I lack trust. Trusting myself, others and God unfortunately. I worked so hard at getting better (health wise) and trying to accomplish dreams only for them to fail time and time again. It’s a source of anxiety for me and where I lack confidence. It’s so easy to live half a life when you can’t trust anything or anyone.
My goal is start trusting again and being my most authentic self - taking up space and exuding joy not matter where I am.
Heavy on it… In order to trust others you must put yourself first/ Trust thyself first
I feel this😭 not sure how to proceed
I relate so much to this
Yes...that's so profound. I use to trust and see the best in people that didn't deserve it... People treat you the way you accept what you will or won't except...I ove myself and I am glad I took a long break. 6 years no dating...
"Trusting God with the little things"...That one got me thinking!🙏🏾❤️
I think that's so true. I have challenged myself this year to be a woman of my word. If I say I'm going to do something then I will have to follow through with what I said. Honestly It is not easy but the more I do it the more I trust myself - Track record
The lighting POPPPPPPPP to me
I hold myself back so much. And I thought that 'it is who I am' but God has been dealing with this area of my life currently and I see that my life is lacking in the 'living part'.
The mindset I had seemed to be good for school, religious practice abd being a good girl. Because it allowed me to 'focus' but now it's time for me to make decisions and live my life. And both these things allow me to be happy, which I actually just acknowledged as an important part of my life.
Oh my! C there is alot of work I see. So much I disregarded and mislabeled as my character!
I thought that I was finished and my story was written. Lol I'm still young mind you....
All I'm saying is thank you sis. This resonated with me. From varsity, to timidity, social anxiety and allowing myself to feel emotion.
It's crazy how we can conclude on nonsense and yet we make it make sense in our minds.
God bless.
Can we also acknowledge that watching this video is a major move. I had to encourage myself that I am worth it. It is a video that applies to me too. It is not reserved for other girls and nothing is more 'important'. Oh Courteney! We are growing!
You’re preaching ❤️ and you’re right as Christians it’s amazing to know that there’s our God taking care of us
Sissssss sisssssssss ...thank you for going on the therapy for me! These videos feel God ordained! I was washing the dishes, but I had to sit down and listen. 2morrow by HIS GRACE I start again.
This has been so helpful, you're such a blessing Courtney. I definitely need to watch this again. For me, trusting myself has helped me build my confidence. I would say I'm generally a very good judge of character and I discern things pretty quickly. But I used to always doubt myself and wait for other people to confirm things I already know. Now I'm learning to trust my own instincts, even if people disagree with me. I'm also learning that even if I end up being wrong, I'll be okay. But either way, I can trust myself and my own judgement
I could listen to you forever 😍
I’m not sure how to word this because I don’t want to say DO THIS. But I think you’d be great at talking to youth/supporting youth through their challenging and good times. Thanks for another wonderful video!
She hosts a podcast called To My Sisters, and it does exactly that and so much more. So amazing!
She's talking to all people....it's not just about youth...let's not exclude anyone. Many have lost spouses and or covid has taken alot of good people too early..We all have alot to contribute and self acceptance and self ❤️ love....helping people that deserve and need it
I absolutely love your videos, just found you yesterday. Body image has been a huge struggle for me. I thought it was something I was over, but really I just wasn't acknowledging how much space it takes up in my brain. I'm working towards body neutrality, I just want to appreciate myself for all the wonderful things I am, not because of how my body looks or doesn't look. At the same time, I want to keep building healthy habits, realizing that exercise and eating healthful foods don't have to be in pursuit of changing the way my body looks.
As you entered the spiritual my life changed! Thank you for being unashamed of Jesus ❣️
I wonder why we hate our arms so much as women when I reality nobody really cares. I always looked at other women with smaller arms or upper bodies in general and get so self conscious. Congrats on your journey! It’s literally just that but we appreciate you being so authentic it’s literally so needed in our community to heal. Please continue to make these types of videos.
I loooove how articulate you are. You are a gem Courtney, your videos are so helpful. Sending you lots of love
I am so happy I found your videos they are so comforting. The part of the video where you talked about trusting yourself really hit the core for me because I do not have a good record of trusting myself. I usually say I’m going to do something but then I tend to chose something more comfortable than actually doing what I said, so that’s something I have to work on and I feel like even in this moment saying this I don’t trust in myself that anything will change but that is just the limiting beliefs talking. I feel like I’m becoming more self aware enough to know that I’m control of what I choose to believe about myself and I think like you mentioned I have to also believe in something other than me so not only am I gonna put trust in me but I’m gonna put trust in God and that’s when the real work will happen. Thank you for the encouragement sister❤️.
Love All These Positive Comments, Keep Shining Love Amen
I've been thinking about why certain opinions matter to me alot. I've been asking, who is important to me and why? Listening to you talk about it has opened my mind to some clarity about this. Thank you
Courtney, I really enjoyed this video because I am experiencing the same thing, wanting to allow myself to feel joy and to enjoy life. Thank you for articulating this message so beautifully.
Your wonderful and I enjoy your insights. I no longer care about other people s opinions and I think that comes from life's hard Knocks in life and taking a new path in thus journey of life. I too just starred working out in a private gym...for me. It alleviates anxiety and I only have 15 lbs to lose...I'm here for doing good things for me and my values.....
Another great video, Courtney. Thank-you. Exactly what I needed to hear, the part about allowing yourself to feel your feel and expression your emotions - happiness, joy, full belly laughs, smile - and not to hold yourself back really stuck out to me. I've held myself back in the past due to previous experiences but definitely on a journey of accepting myself more.
So good! I resonate with you sis
I really am so grateful for these videos you make
Just want to let you know how amazing you are and the impact you are having on so many women! I am currently going through a break up and finding myself again, this video gave me so much confidence and felt like i was hearing my sister giving me love and hope ❤️God bless you
Vids like these are so so necessary. Really trying to boost my confidence and release myself from self-doubt
Just found this channel and what a well spoken, breath of fresh air. This is so so very grounding so thank you for being so open, it helps knowing support is there and one is not alone within their transformation.
I’m gonna have to watch this again and take notes!
Thank you for sharing 💛✨
