Changing Yourself to Change the World with Cortney McDermott

In this episode, hosts Mathew Blades and Cortney McDermott explore sustainability through the lens of personal growth and deep self-awareness. Inspired by Tolstoy’s quote, “Everyone thinks of changing the world, no one thinks of changing himself,” they discuss the power of noticing what’s working, what’s not, and the importance of tuning inward rather than chasing external results.
Cortney shares personal stories on moving from rigidity to spontaneity and the value of dropping performance-driven habits to embrace presence. Together, they reflect on how true sustainability is about sustaining yourself, letting intuition and inner intelligence lead the way.
The episode concludes with a guided meditation, inviting listeners to attune to themselves and embody positive change from within. Practical, soulful, and refreshingly honest, this conversation offers new perspectives on lasting transformation.
