Welcome to Between Love and Lessons Unfiltered Conversations with Courtney Arlesia.

Sometimes life feels stuck, stagnant, or like failure, but that does not mean you are off track. In this episode, I reflect on being content in your journey, trusting God’s plan, and recognizing growth even when it does not feel visible.I share my perspective on Ruth and Boaz, a story I have been reflecting on all year, and how God’s plan unfolded for both of them. It was not just about Ruth being found by Boaz, but Boaz finding Ruth. I talk about how this story relates to my own life and the ways God’s plan is at work in every part of our journey. I also discuss my plans to watch the upcoming Netflix adaptation starring Serayah McNeill, Tyler Lepley, and Phylicia Rashad, premiering September 26. I look forward to sharing more of my reflections through a Substack article diving more into the themes of Ruth and Boaz and the new movies alignment. You will also learn more about my recent interviews, articles, past + upcoming events, and the growth I am seeing across my platforms. And I have some exciting news, if you loved the 91 Day Fast that I hosted two years ago, then you will love what is coming exclusively on Substack.Overall, I hope this is an episode that you will enjoy and that you walk away with the reminder that it is okay to be exactly where you are.For those interested in working with me, I offer spiritual and mental wellness coaching and consulting, writing and content creation, speaking engagements, interviews, and more.
