Welcome to Episode 20 of the Next Level Voices Series on Kultivation w/ Kevie!
In this powerful and deeply reflective episode of Kultivation w/ Kevie, I sit down with Cortney McDermott—award-winning author, TEDx speaker, and human potential enthusiast—to talk about redefining success and giving yourself permission to reinvent.
Cortney opens up about her personal journey from a high-powered corporate career at Vanity Fair to a life of deeper purpose, balance, and authenticity. We explore what it means to be “miserably successful,” the courage it takes to shed societal masks, and the science behind relaxation and energy flow. Cortney blends neuroscience and spirituality seamlessly, showing how to access new levels of awareness and creativity by letting go of what no longer serves you.
If you’ve ever questioned the pace of your life, struggled with self-worth, or felt stuck chasing external validation, this conversation will remind you that peace, purpose, and power all begin within.
