Check Out These Highlights:

If you’ve ever wondered what comes next after a long, successful career, this conversation will resonate deeply. Courtney Burton spent decades building a dependable corporate career before two powerful coaching conversations challenged her to rethink where she truly thrived, and what she wanted the next chapter of her life to look like.

In this episode, Courtney shares how those moments sparked major pivots in her life and career, including stepping away from corporate work, training as a coach, and pursuing her lifelong passion for music. She also opens up about navigating retirement transitions, caring for family during difficult seasons, and the surprising identity shift that happens when the structure of a traditional job disappears.

Toby and Courtney explore the power of questioning the stories we tell ourselves, why outside perspectives can reveal possibilities we can’t see on our own, and how it’s never too late to design a life that aligns with purpose, creativity, and joy.
