Finding Purpose Over Perfection: A Waggle Dance with Courtney Youngs

In this heartfelt episode of Her Unshakeable Confidence, Simone and Olivia Knego are joined by special guest Courtney Youngs, author of The Waggle Dance and corporate storyteller. Courtney opens up about her journey through life’s unexpected twists, from finding love to becoming a mother, and how these experiences inspired her to write The Waggle Dance. She shares the wisdom behind the book’s central metaphor—the way bees communicate to help each other thrive—and how we can apply it to our own lives to embrace imperfection, find purpose, and build confidence. Join us for an inspiring conversation about storytelling, personal growth, and the power of community.

Actionable Tips:

  1. Embrace Imperfection: Reflect on how perfectionism might be holding you back and focus on finding purpose in your actions instead.
  2. Share Your Story: Start sharing your personal stories, even if you think they’re small—they can have a powerful impact on others.
  3. Practice Positive Self-Talk: Incorporate daily affirmations into your routine to shift your internal dialog and build confidence.
  4. Be Present: Don’t rush through life’s moments, good or bad. Embrace where you are and the lessons that each experience can offer.
