SLP 410: Go With Your Gut, Go With Your Heart and Just Do It with Courtney Foster

‘I would say go with your heart. I have a friend at the moment who is contemplating starting her own little business, she’s got three little boys, and I’m like just do it. Do it girl. What have you got to lose? I really think life is short and if you’re sitting on a thought or if you’re sitting on an idea, if you want to start a business, if you want to go on that holiday, I’m like go with your gut, go with your heart and just do it because time goes so quick and tomorrow is not guaranteed so I say just do it, just go all in, give it everything you’ve got and if it fails that’s ok too.’ ~ Courtney Foster

Courtney Foster is a young mum, wife, and dedicated friend with a deep passion for entrepreneurship that runs in her family. Growing up in a family that has been in retail for over 45 years with the family business, Shannon’s Shoes, Courtney learned the ins and outs of business from a young age. Six months postpartum, she launched her own baby and kids’ brick-and-mortar store, driven by her desire to create a supportive community where mums feel seen, heard, and valued during the most challenging stages of motherhood. Known for her big heart, infectious smile, and positive approach, Courtney faces every challenge with determination and grace.

She recently founded Sandy Bums, a brand that designs innovative portable beach highchairs, blending her creative spirit with her commitment to making parenting easier. Beyond her business ventures, Courtney co-hosts the podcast “Literally Us,” where she dives into the highs and lows of navigating small business, motherhood, and life. Through honest and heartfelt conversations, she connects with listeners who share similar experiences, offering both relatability and encouragement. Courtney’s authenticity, warmth, and dedication to uplifting others make her a true inspiration in both her professional and personal life.

Her definition of Self Love is:
‘Filling my own cup so I can give back to others.’

Her favourite quotes are:
‘This too shall pass.’
‘You know your children more as adults than kids.’

Quotes:
My business gave me something to get up and out of bed for.
In my heart I knew I had more to give.
Being a mum is a 24/7 job without a doubt.
It is about creating a space to talk the good the bad and the ugly.
Having my girl helped heal me, heal my heart.
Hard work gets you great things.
Being busy is in my nature, my soul.
Remember it is each to their own.
It takes a village to raise a child.
I am absolutely not doing it alone.
Go with your gut, go with your heart and just do it.
Less is more.
This too shall pass.
You know your children as adults more than as kids.
I know this time goes so fast.
Embrace every moment.
