Behind the blog

Hi, I’m Cortney.

Welcome, friend. After years spent in a high-stress healthcare communications career, I found myself completely burnt out, neglecting my physical, emotional, and spiritual well-being. It was only after stepping away and focusing wholeheartedly on living God’s purpose for my life that everything changed. I realized I couldn’t do that well unless I took care of myself. Sweet New Roots was born from that journey—a belief that amazing things happen when we plant seeds of goodness in the right places, keeping us grounded in God’s truth and grace.

Here you will find nourishment for your body, mind, and spirit to fuel your God-given purpose through our three pillars: simple, wholesome recipes that gather and nourish your family; evidence-based wellness resources to bring clarity and energy; and faith-based encouragement to anchor your soul.

Here at Sweet New Roots, we’re focused on progress, never perfection, and I invite you to grow with us.
