How Courtney Lost More Than 75 Pounds Without Losing Herself
Over 50 & Flourishing with Dominique SachseShow Notes
In this deeply personal episode, I turn the microphone toward Courtney for an honest, open-hearted conversation about her journey both on and off camera. After years of supporting the show behind the scenes, Courtney steps into the spotlight to share her story, her growth, and the transformation so many of you have been asking about. Together, we talk about what it’s really like to navigate change, visibility, body image, career shifts, and confidence in a season of life that asks more of us than we often expect. From building a meaningful career and community, to facing public scrutiny, personal reinvention, and hard-earned self-trust, this conversation is raw, thoughtful, and deeply human. In this episode, we cover: Courtney’s journey from behind-the-scenes to center stage The realities of personal transformation—physically, mentally, and emotionally Navigating body image, public opinion, and self-worth Career growth, creative fulfillment, and finding your lane What lifestyle change really requires beyond motivation The role of discipline, consistency, and support systems How relationships, community, and purpose shape growth What it means to honor where you are while stepping into what’s next

Vaginal health is an important part of women’s health at every age, but it’s something we still don’t talk about nearly enough.

We also dive into vaginal care, intimacy, arousal, and why our sex lives don’t have to change just because we’re getting older. Wendy Strgar is an award-winning entrepreneur and women’s health innovator who pioneered BioMatched® technology and has led groundbreaking research on the vaginal microbiome.
