About Courtney

Author. Healer. Storyteller of Becoming.

I’m a writer, creator, and the heart behind Broken Gem.
 

I wrote Breathing Again during a season where I was learning how to choose myself after giving too much of me away.
 

This book wasn’t created to be perfect.
It was created to be honest.

 

Through heartbreak, healing, and rebuilding, I discovered that wholeness doesn’t arrive all at once — it comes breath by breath. Letter by letter. Brave choice by brave choice.
 

My hope is that these words remind you of your strength, your softness, and your worth.
 

You are not broken. You are becoming.

Before Broken Gem existed, I was navigating a season that asked everything of me. I was loving deeply, giving endlessly, and slowly forgetting myself in the process. I learned what it feels like to pour from an empty cup — and what it costs when you stay silent about your own needs.
 

Writing became my way back to myself. It started as private letters — moments where I finally told the truth about my pain, my growth, my boundaries, and my healing. Over time, those letters became Breathing Again.
 

Broken Gem was created to hold space for stories like mine and yours — stories that aren’t perfect, but honest. Stories of becoming softer without becoming smaller. Stronger without becoming hardened.
 

If you’re here, I want you to know this: you are allowed to rest. You are allowed to choose yourself. You are allowed to heal at your own pace.
 

This space was built for you.
