Pragmatic Alchemy is about you.

the pragmatic alchemy podcast - promoting mindful wellbeing in everyday life.

It seems everyone has a podcast these days, doesn’t it? That didn’t stop Courtney from bringing her vision to life! Over the past few years podcasts have become her preferred media, finding them entertaining, informative, and easy to fit into a busy life.

Aside from her own interests as a listener, Courtney had an idea she wanted to share with her community. A platform that democratized wellbeing by making it accessible to anyone with a podcast app and something to listen on; a platform that connects listeners with local experts and practitioners from the Hudson Valley (and occasionally beyond) in exploring life’s big questions; a platform that helps every day folks invite more wellbeing into their every day lives.

Pragmatic Alchemy Podcast is that vision, that idea, come to life. Drawing from Courtney’s experiences as a former psychotherapist turned behavioral health coach, and in listening to the most pressing issues facing individuals today, Courtney structures each episode to be full of helpful and relevant information and practically applied tips that you can start to introduce into your wellbeing practices today. By partnering with a wide range of guests, audiences are gifted with their expertise, unique insights and perspectives, and wisdom.

Yes, everyone has a podcast these days, but Pragmatic Alchemy is something different. This is a podcast for you and about you; your questions, your challenges, your joys, your struggles, and your triumphs.
