From Cult Programming to Authentic Voice: Breaking Free, Speaking Up, and Living Fully
How to deprogram limiting beliefs, trust your intuition, and build a business that serves your life
🔥 "Growing up in a cult, you are not allowed to speak about the cult in a disparaging way. They tell you that if you leave and you speak bad about it, that you'll be thought of as dead. That is the ultimate sin. There is no coming back for that."
What does it take to go from this level of programmed silence to becoming someone who helps others find their authentic voice? Today's guest, Courtney Wilder, has made this exact transformation - and her insights about programming, deprogramming, and authentic expression will change how you think about using your voice in business and life.
What You'll Learn:
• How abandonment wounds show up in business (and why they keep you small)
• The difference between you and your business as separate entities in relationship
• Courtney's Four Cups methodology for sustainable capacity building
• Why coercive control language exists everywhere (not just in cults)
• How to practice co-regulation as a powerful healing tool
• The difference between being a victim and having victim mentality
• Why expanding wide (not going deeper) creates lasting transformation
• Practical tools for navigating fear in your body while still taking action
Courtney's Incredible Journey:
From growing up in a cult where speaking out meant social death, to becoming an intuitive coach who helps others crack open and trust themselves. Her story is proof that our deepest wounds can become our greatest gifts when we're willing to do the work.
The Four Cups Framework:
Emotional capacity, physical capacity, mental capacity, and energetic capacity - and why understanding which cup needs filling changes everything about how you rest, work, and show up.
Key Takeaway:
You are not your business. You are in a relationship with your business. When you stop expecting your business to provide all your purpose, fulfilment, and joy, both you and your business can thrive.
