About Me


With 25 years of honorable military service, Courtney A. Kittrell brings unparalleled expertise and passion in leadership, mentoring, motivational speaking and empowering others to achieve success one step at a time.


Having encountered a great many struggles both personally and professionally, in addition to the physical hardship associated with her military service, Courtney uses her own story as a starting point to encourage others and to explore how self-belief the right mindset can set anyone up for success.



Much of Courtney’s work as an author and motivational keynote speaker expands upon the ideas mentioned in her books, Unapologetically Favored and Wake Up. Turn Up. Bless Up., which are both self-reflective pieces that, beyond exploring her own personal development and journey to self-acceptance, seek to provide a kind of roadmap for those interested in doing the same. Without discounting the difficulty each person faces in their life, Courtney A. Kittrell offers her audience the option of success at their own pace. To Courtney, success is dependent on building oneself into what one wants to be and moreover choosing to achieve not by refusing to fail, but instead by refusing to let failure stop them.


As the host of the Unapologetically Favored Podcast with Dr. Pat Baccili of Transformation Talk Radio and the Unapologetically Favored Radio Show on iHeart Radio, Courtney reaches a wide audience, motivating listeners to see beyond their limiting beliefs and embrace their true potential.




Recognized in the 2023 Edition of Marquis Who's Who in America, and featured in Connected Women Magazine and Voyage Baltimore Magazine, Courtney is a beacon of inspiration and transformation. Her military experiences have impacted her life through personal and leadership struggles. She struggled to find her fit or purpose in life. She now pays forward the motivation, passion, self-love, and hope she needed during her struggles with others because she knows that everyone has a story and their presence has a purpose.
