About Courtney Youngs
Courtney Youngs found her forever person on the second try, despite her best life planning. In 2022, she became the mother to a beautiful baby boy, who instantly brought purpose and love to her life. Like most new parents, Courtney found herself wanting to do right by her child but struggled to embrace her less-than-perfect life that led to his arrival. Up until this point, her perfectionism had only led to fear. So she prayed for direction and clarity.
As a result, she wrote The Waggle Dance, a book that honors the people in her life, and helps us all to embrace our unique life experiences and the lessons they yield. It’s a relatively simple concept that requires introspection and a willingness to live the life God has created for you—not the one you had planned—to help yourself and others.
Storytelling has been the heartbeat of her professional career for the past decade as a corporate communications professional.
