If you've ever been curious about energy work but not sure where to start (or whether to believe any of it), this one's for you.

In this episode, Courtney sits down with her friend Katie Walton for one of those conversations that starts with "wait, but what even is energy?" and ends somewhere surprisingly tender. Together, Courtney and Katie wander through some genuinely big questions: what reiki actually is and how energy healing works, why so many of us live almost entirely from the neck up, and what happens in the body when we finally slow down enough to feel something. They talk about the culture of emotional repression, the 60-90 second window of pure emotion, cannabis and social connection, mindful recovery, and what it means to be in good relationship with the world around you. And somewhere in the middle of all of it, Courtney receives a great reflection: that her own challenge and struggle is exactly what makes it possible to transmit peace to others, not in spite of it, but because of it.
