Born of a blog post that would never quite come out right, and a fun time at a networking event, Courtney spends this episode talking about the time her former spouse called her "fake nice" and her ultimate recognition in the truth of that.

So, then, how do we stop being fake nice? How do we understand niceness and kindness to be two different things? How do we establish boundaries? How do we live with the discomfort of being disapproved of? How do we live with more authenticity?

We're going to dive into all of that and look at practical ways to make these changes in your life right now.

Shout outs this week include Hudson Valley Women in Business, Senate Garage, and Ram Dass.
