You’re so welcome! It’s been a journey in itself sharing it and creating this guide. I’ve come to know it more deeply in the process and am so grateful 🙏♥️.
Hello Courtney,,,, We’ve been friends for awhile, and if there is one thing, I’ve noticed about your process it’s that it has never been SMART. It has always been all HEART
If there is one thing I’ve noticed about being an artist or a creator is that if Smart doesn’t work, Heart definitely will and it is what will eventually make waves for you.💯💯
i'm glad you're finding your truth and I know you miss the mountains in North Carolina. It's beautiful there. Praying for your safe return and looking forward for you to come back. I know you love the people there in Vietnam and I know the travel is hard and maybe it was just for this season and there's so much that you gave and that you were given while you were there. What a blessing 🥰
The T in the HEART model really grabs me - Transformation.
When you focus on achieving the four letters prior to it, you automatically arrive there. The beautiful thing for me, is how you say you can't put a timeframe on it.
You will just know it when you get there, I find that somehow quite liberating and empowering!
Yes! The living honestly, energized, aligned, and realistic leads to transformation 💫. It’s nothing you can put a time frame on— you can just feel it when you’ve arrived.
Thank you so much for your remarks, Tim! They’re beautiful 🫶.
Oh my! Thank you for all the kind words, my friend! I’m just so happy that I could provide what others seemed to need. I’m beaming over this comment, by the way!
I really enjoyed this post, and sincerely relate. It made me smile & feel less alone, thank you. My “life sabbatical” the last year plus, invited me back to living this way. I believe it is actually more natural than our smart-push goals, for it is full of following our joy & internal love connection. Why choose stress & “not enough-ness”feelings taught & expected by our societal norms.
Absolutely LOVE your HEART model, thank you for sharing (as an acronym junkie it sings to me).
I'm so happy you enjoyed it! I'm all teary-eyed that it made you feel less alone. Sending a big virtual hug. It's wonderful that your "life sabbatical" led you to leading with heart-- getting back in honest, alignment with your true self. It is more natural. The SMART push, as you've brilliantly called it, is so forced. I'm realizing more and more that forcing is no way to live.
Thank you for your inspiring comment! Here's to living a life guided by HEART :-).
This is a beautiful guiding practice. I particularly resonated with Alignment, for obvious reasons. I think it's so important to have a system like this to check in with ourselves and make sure we're living authentically.
Thank you so much! I don't know why I missed this comment earlier but I'm so glad I saw it. This practice has helped me tremendously over the last six months. I was living out of alignment and I knew I needed to find my way back. This way my answer. I'm so happy you like it. And, I'm so grateful for your reply.
I hate when others do this - but here I am, doing it - but only because I love the model you have created. If you are thinking about turning this into a viable method for others, personally or even in the workforce, and want to create a course I would love to help!
Thank you, Brandi! I'm so glad you love it! I've been marinating on the explanation for a few weeks. I didn't expect it to gain so much traction. I'm thrilled that it did. I think if we all let this model lead the way, the world would be a better place. We shall see where it goes. I appreciate your offer of assistance. I may be hitting you up!
Kristina! I’m just now seeing this. I don’t know why but anyway, all that matters is I’m seeing it now. I would LOVE to write a guest post! Please let me know next steps. How exciting!
Thank you for expanding on this HEART model. I love it.
I've learned all about SMART goals in my Life Coaching courses. I will definitely be using this more.

Hi Ral! I feel so seen! It’s true— I’ve always been all HEART ♥️. I’m so glad that comes through.
Your reply made me realize that for those few years I was trying to do the whole SMART goal thing, I became depressed— it was never me.
Feels good to fully honor myself again. Thank you so much for your reply 🙏🫶.
Heart always wins, and there is nothing more beautiful than that. and I’m merely speaking the truth. I could go on and on.
Much love♥️
So true!
Courtney, I love it! I needed to read this today. It was comforting and healing at the same time. Thank you, my dear friend 🙏🏼🥰🕊️
Kathleen! I’m so happy to hear it. To provide comfort and healing for you means the world to me.
I’m so tired. I’ve been grading for hours and about to hit the hay or I’d have more to say. I appreciate you so much, my friend! XOXO

You’ve said it perfectly. All so very true.

This is amazing. You are such a joy and inspiration, and also so dang wise! Thank you for sharing this so freely.

Thank you for expanding with the guided questions for each stage. It was one curiosity I had after reading the initial post. Really helpful!! LOVE! 🤍
You are welcome! I’m so happy to hear it’s helpful 😊.
Thank you! This is so refreshing. 💕

Hey Courtney! That's crazyyyyy good!
Happy to feature you and your HEART model.
You can write a guest post for the Club as this fits perfectly and we can also talk about your viral hit!!
Mega!!
