A change in career, a divorce, and a new family still left her wanting more until she stumbled across a coupon in an entertainment discount book that would lead to facing her fears head-on and would change the trajectory of her life. In This Is Your Captain Speaking, Courtney shares the difficultand intimate details of her life to encourage and inspire you to own your story and not let it own you.
