Soul Sessions: Embracing Accountability for Personal Growth with Courtney Prete
Thursday Dec 12, 2024
Thursday Dec 12, 2024
In this inspiring episode of the Soul Summit Podcast, Courtney Prete dives into the transformative power of accountability in personal growth. Through heartfelt conversation, Courtney unpacks the importance of self-assessment and introspection, urging us to regularly check in with ourselves and how we are truly doing.
She candidly shares her own challenges with maintaining good habits, emphasizing the value of recognizing patterns that may hinder progress. Courtney offers actionable advice on setting boundaries, reassessing habits that no longer serve us, and making space for the things that truly matter in this season of life.
Key topics include:
- Regular self-check-ins: How often are we pausing to evaluate the quality of input we’re giving our bodies emotionally, spiritually, and physically?
- Getting to the "why": Becoming self-aware enough to understand the root causes behind feeling “off” and holding ourselves accountable to the habits that fuel our best selves.
- The power of boundaries: What will set you up for success? Reassess your commitments—if something isn’t serving you, it’s okay to let it go. What do you need to say no to now in order to say yes to something better?
- Feelings vs. truth: Showing up for the things you know you need to do, even when you might not feel like it.
- Grace in the process: Remember that small, intentional habits can lead to big success over time.
Feeling like you could use some extra accountability? Join our community! Connect with us in the HOJ Facebook group for support and encouragement, and let us know how we can be part of your journey.
It’s time to embrace accountability, set meaningful boundaries, and show up for the habits that fuel your best self. And don’t forget to give yourself grace along the way—you’re doing the work, one step at a time!
Listen now and let the little habits lead to big success in your life.

In this episode of the Soul Summit Podcast, host Courtney Prete shares a heartfelt conversation originally recorded for Sam’s podcast, Fall Obsession.
Building a new generation of hunters and outdoor enthusiasts begins with mentorship and getting others outdoors, and that’s exactly the mission of Courtney and her team at Her Outdoor Journey (HOJ). As the founder of HOJ and host of Soul Summit Podcast, Courtney strives to bridge the gap for women and families in the outdoors through transformative experiences that educate, empower, and build community.
Courtney and Sam explore their shared love for wild, remote places, discussing how nature’s remoteness fosters gratitude, personal truth, and a deeper connection with the natural world. Courtney opens up about the hard work, dedication, and personal growth required to reach this point, reflecting on the highs and lows of podcast hosting and the incredible impact of the HOJ mission. Naturally, the episode wouldn’t be complete without diving into their passion for hunting and the role it plays in connecting with the outdoors.
Recognized for its outstanding content, Fall Obsession was nominated for the 2024 Best Podcast award by CarbonTV, a testament to the quality conversations and impactful stories shared by Sam and his team. This inspiring episode is packed with reflections on building community, embracing the outdoors, and pursuing a mission that leaves a lasting impact.
