How do you prepare to speak to a large crowd (professionally/personally)? What advice would you give someone to help calm the nerves? Practice makes perfect. I try to flesh out my thoughts on paper first in order to organize my delivery. Once I have an idea of exactly what I’ll be discussing, I then get…
With your career success and blog success, how do you stay on top of your “power hour” and balance each? Even though my days are generally jam packed from the time I wake up until it’s time for bed, I’m thankful that they’re almost always flexible. I don’t have children or a husband, so my…
Shop this coffee mug here You always seem so cool, calm and collected! Is there anything you actually struggle with? For sure! I struggle with a ton, although it may not be as in depth as others. My personality doesn’t really allow me to dwell too long on the negative. In my head, I’m always…
How were you able to build experience while getting your bachelors? I’m a marketing major and want to try to get a job that will help my resume. I want to make my time count so I’m a little qualified when I graduate! This is in hopes it’ll get me into the field quicker. Completely…
Hi Courtney! I loved the podcasts you recently co-hosted. You’re are SO eloquent with your words. I’m not even 20 yet. I feel well-spoken now, but no where near your level. I was wondering if it’s something you developed over time, or a product of education and reading. First, thank you so much! I’m really…
I apologize that the in-depth thought provoking posts have slowed up a bit, but as I’ve expressed since the beginning my career is equally as important to me as this platform, along with how difficult it is to balance the two. Professionally, I’ve had a great year of growth, opportunity and challenges and I wanted…

Any suggestions? Congrats boo! You definitely should. I may write about all of the reasons why having a blog is beneficial,…
I’m going on a bachelorette party in Miami in January. What are some restaurants, site seeing opportunities that you can share that will work for a group of women? I love Miami! It’s such a good time and I miss it so much (can I come with y’all?! lol). I love STK in Miami, because we don’t…
What do you think your biggest flaw is? That’s a good question. I’d probably say that I don’t care about anything. I don’t care about anything unless I care about it and once I care about it, I really care about it. If that makes sense? I don’t allow myself to sweat small stuff, I…
I recently sent in my documents to get my passport. I would like to start traveling the world and I wanted to see if you had any travel tips. I do currently have the Chase Sapphire card, which I love. I was curious if you knew of any travel deals or if there are certain…
What is a fact about you that your readers probably would never guess? I know all the words to every song. Songs before I was born, songs I can’t tell you where I’ve heard before, songs from a random Soundcloud account. It’s really weird LOL. What do you consider to be the biggest turnoff when…
I’ve followed you on social media for quite a while so I know before your big chop you had super long hair. How did you get it to grow so quickly?! Every time you chop a few inches, it’s right back down your back. #QuestionsThatNeedAnswers My hair has always grown really quickly so other than…
I tried looking for you on YouTube, but couldn’t find you. Do you have plans to start a channel at all? I think your segments like Coffee Talk would be great for YouTube. I literally just had this conversation with my friend Angela. She insists that I need to be using Snapchat and tells me…
I’ve been wanting to start a blog for over a year but am struggling coming up with a name. How did you come up with The B Werd? There were two things that held me up the longest with this blog – designing the site and what the title would be. A lot of the…
How do you make friends in your twenties? Me and my old HS friends have mostly grown apart and I know you kind of begin to drift once your life takes a different path. I can count on one hand the amount of close friends I do have and I always find myself wanting to do…
