The Fearless Happyness Podcast Episode 110 with Courtney Ramm

Dance Your Way to Healing with Courtney Ramm Born and raised in the heart of New York City, Courtney Ramm has followed her passion for dancing to a career as a professional dancer, choreographer, and teacher.  She's directed dance schools, performed, and taught worldwide, from Singapore to Thailand to Manhattan. Dancing since the age of two, you could say that Courtney was born to dance.  At age 8, she studied at the renowned School of American Ballet and, soon after that, performed on New York's most significant stages. By age 25, she had lived all over the world with a strong resume behind her.  Acting upon a strong inner calling, Courtney soon left the concrete jungle of Manhattan for the tropical jungle of Hawaii to start her own dance company. With a strong determination to succeed and an endless to-do list, Courtney got to work on building a new picture-perfect life for herself but always felt that something was missing - the perfect husband. Until one day, at a spiritual gathering, she would lock eyes with a man that would leave her feeling something was off, but she couldn't help the intensity of his stare. Ignoring all the warning signs, Courtney dove into a relationship, not grasping the graveness and outright danger of her decision, but soon realizing that she was going down a dark path and making life-altering mistakes while doing it. After exhausting every possible way to make things better and now the mother of two young children, Courtney knew that she had to find a way out, or she wouldn't make it.   Once out, Courtney would find herself feeling completely worthless and pretty much at rock bottom.   Seeking help from the outside world and returning to her love of dance, Courtney found a way to heal and rebuild a new life for herself and her children…realizing that she would make it. In her memoir, Eris Rising, Courtney tells her story of breaking deep karmic patterns, grappling with the calling of destiny, and reconnecting with her inner warrior to show others that it is possible to move forward after life-altering mistakes and inspire them to recover the true "genius" within. Now the founder and artistic director of Ramm Dance, a non-profit dance company that blends the love of dance with holistic healing, Courtney has changed long-held karma into a mission for helping others heal and rise from domestic violence. Listen in as Courtney, and I discuss growing up in the dance world, her life-altering mistakes, and how she turned it all around to find your own path to FEARLESS HAPPYNESS!
