Dream, Anyway
007. Stephaine Courtney
Stephaine Courtney, Executive Director of the Shades of Motherhood Network, shares her raw and transformative journey through infertility, loss, and identity—and how those struggles lit the fire behind her community-centered mission. From her first encounter with the word “doula” to founding a nonprofit that uplifts maternal health through peer support, art, and advocacy, Stephanie’s story is a testament to turning personal pain into collective healing.
She speaks candidly about grief, shame, strong-woman myths, environmental health, and building a village where healing, culture, and care lead the way.
