Adventurous Spirits: Recent Episodes
Cortney Matz
The world is full of beauty, wonder, and magic, but the demands of everyday life can outweigh the fun of the adventure. To tip the scales back toward excitement, intrepid music artist Cortney Matz invites you to join her on bite-size adventures in each episode.
Prompts for each week's experiences cover the gamut of interests and skill sets; whether you're a card carrying thrill-seeker or simply hoping to get out of a rut, Adventurous Spirits will challenge your perception of what the world offers on any given day (and what you can expect from it).
Last episode of 2023! Let's reflect on this year's rewards and set some intentions going forward. Three takeaways to figure out your own level-up and how to get there.
