In this episode of Vision Holders, I sit down with Courtney Adamo to talk about motherhood, creativity, and the courage it takes to trust life as it unfolds. We explore the emotional stretch of watching children grow up and leave home, the quiet beauty of a slower life, and how to stay connected to what matters most.

Courtney shares her journey from early blogging days to raising a family across continents, and how she’s created a life rooted in freedom, presence, and deep family connection. This is an honest and warm conversation about love, letting go, and choosing a path that feels true—even when it means starting again.
