It is not a five-step plan. It is not someone else's path handed to you as a prescription. It is an invitation to remember who you were before the world taught you to perform.
Blending the raw honesty of Untamed by Glennon Doyle with the practical clarity of The Let Them Theory by Mel Robbins, this hybrid memoir and template to personalize for your own journey offers a new path forward:
Not out of your life–but deeper into it.
In Prana Rising, Courtney shares the raw truth of her own unraveling and return — revealing not just that a path back to yourself exists, but how you can find it.
In This Book
Courtney writes honestly about her own experience — chronic pain, a marriage that almost didn't survive, Big Law burnout, and an exploration of conscious altered states and a California Sober lifestyle that became part of her return to herself.​
WHAT YOU'LL DISCOVER

​
â—† Learn to trust yourself again through Heart-Mind Resonance, when your thinking and your feeling finally stop working against each other

Many of us spend years building lives that look successful on the outside while feeling completely numb on the inside. Not ungrateful. Not dramatic. Just... disconnected.
Courtney Stough did everything right. Yale. Tulane Law. Partner at an AmLaw 100 firm. A beautiful home and a growing family. And one night she found herself sitting on the floor of her son's nursery — in chronic pain, overmedicated, wondering how this became her life.
She thought the only way out was to burn it all down. Get divorced. Change careers. Move to Sedona.
What she discovered instead: what we call burnout isn't just exhaustion. It's a loss of life force. And you don't have to destroy your life to get it back.
This is not a book about becoming someone new. It is an invitation to remember who you already are — underneath everything you were taught to perform.
