About Me:
I’m Courtney Spencer, a transformational coach, attorney and professional speaker. A lifelong resident of Connecticut, I attended the University of Connecticut and graduated Magna Cum Laude and Phi Beta Kappa with a double major in Political Science and Sociology. I attended the University of Connecticut Law School and received my law degree in 2000. I am admitted to practice in Connecticut, the Second Circuit and the United States Supreme Court. I am a professional Certified Co-Active Life Coach through the Coaches Training Institute an intensive 200 hour coaching program. I enjoy life with a wonderful husband and three amazing children who bring me immense joy
Several years ago I looked like I had it all, and on paper I did. But I burned out and almost walked away from my thriving business. I was a shell of who I once was. I realized that I had allowed the responsibilities and obligations of everyone else to force my life into one of doing but not living. I had to redesign my entire life and create systems and practices that allow me to have an even more full life today that I manage easily and have the life I always wanted. I can help you do the same.
I have helped many high-achieving women bring freedom, joy and fulfillment to their lives leading to more success, happiness and productivity both at work and at home.
My clients have transformed their health, careers, relationships with family, and most importantly, relationships with themselves.
I Was Where You Are Now:
I was the consummate high achiever. From high school to college to law school to opening my own business to getting married and having my daughter, I was always focused on achieving my goals. I achieved every dream I had.
However, I often felt as though I was barely getting by – there was always something more to do, always something that needed improving. I carried an unidentified but constant sense of anxiety and dread that I would miss something and my perfect life would crumble. I was keeping myself busy with tasks or work to try to avoid facing what I was feeling.
A few years ago, this constant state of “busyness” led to a total disconnect from my personal life and my own self, becoming a mask to feelings of inadequacy, insecurity and fear. When my body finally decided it had enough, it shut down and I could no longer even eat.
No doctor could diagnose what was happening, however, to me, things slowly became clear. Although from the outside, as a successful attorney, wife and mother, it appeared as though I was on top of the world…. Something, clearly, had to change – And fast.
Let Me Help You Achieve Where I Am Today:
Today I am still outwardly successful. But, internally, everything has changed. I achieved this by changing my approach to work and life. I’ve been able to create sustainable happiness in my personal life and deep satisfaction in my work – two things I never thought possible. Let me help you do the same.
As a special education attorney, I have supported clients and their parents through the legal system and some of the most meaningful feedback I received was “you saved my child.” I didn’t of course. At least not literally. What I did was fight like an unrelenting bulldog while empowering my clients to get through the process with all the support and compassion I could muster.
I do the same for each of my coaching clients, so you can move forward – feeling more freedom, vitality, confidence and possibility, without compromising your success and in fact, becoming more successful than you ever imagined.
