This episode is for the woman who feels like she has to change who she is to succeed.I’m joined by Marlenne Johnson, someone I’ve known for years and deeply admire for her honesty and self-awareness.We talk about what it actually looks like to navigate environments where you don’t feel like you belong… and the choice so many women face:Do I play along…or stay true to myself?Marlenne shares her journey through HR, from trying to fit into a male-dominated environment to making conscious decisions about who she wanted to be, even when it was uncomfortable.This conversation is honest, grounding, and a reminder that: You’re not for everyone…and that’s okay  Self-doubt doesn’t mean you’re doing it wrong  Community matters more than we think  And sometimes the real work is choosing yourself, over and over again If you’ve been second-guessing yourself or wondering if you need to be different to move forward…this one is for you. 💛Pull up a chair, grab a drink, and join us Court-side.About the PodcastCourt-side Conversations is a podcast about leadership, self-trust, and the moments that shape us.Each episode features a candid conversation with remarkable women about the experiences that helped them trust themselves, navigate challenges, and move forward with confidence and integrity.Hosted by Courtney Headley, founder of Center Court Collective.New episodes released every other week. 

If you’ve been living in your head… second-guessing, overthinking, trying to “figure it out”… this episode is for you.In this conversation, I’m joined by Ashley Watkins, a former teacher turned coach, who built her career not by following a plan… but by following what felt right.We talk about what it actually looks like to trust yourself in real life. Not in theory.Ashley shares how she makes decisions based on her gut, how her inner critic shows up as she builds her business, and why community has been one of the biggest shifts in quieting self-doubt.We also get into: The moment you know you’ve disconnected from your intuition  Why overthinking is often a sign you’re in your head, not your body  The pressure to “have a plan” and what happens when you don’t  The best and worst career advice she’s ever received  Why “have more fun” might be more important than you think This one is honest, grounded, and a reminder that you don’t need more strategy… you need to trust yourself enough to take the next step.Pull up a chair, grab a drink, and join us Court-side.About the PodcastCourt-side Conversations is a podcast about leadership, self-trust, and the moments that shape us.Each episode features a candid conversation with remarkable women about the experiences that helped them trust themselves, navigate challenges, and move forward with confidence and integrity.Hosted by Courtney Headley, founder of Center Court Collective.New episodes released every other week.

Welcome to Court-side Conversations with Courtney.This podcast brings women together for honest conversations about work, confidence, and finding their voice without the corporate speak.Each episode centers on real stories, lessons learned, and the advice women embraced or intentionally left behind along the way.Because navigating the workplace can feel isolating sometimes. And it helps to hear from someone who has been there too.When women share their experiences openly, we learn faster, feel less alone, and lift each other up in the process.These conversations happen the way all good ones do. Over drinks. In good company.Pull up a chair and join me, Court-side.New episodes launch every other week.
