Episode 44 - Finding Strength in Uncertainty

Courtney Trewin, the winner of the 2024 Misfit Bikini Model pageant, has a story of resilience, strength, and transformation. After sustaining a minor injury that led to chronic pain from complex regional pain syndrome (CRPS), Courtney faced immense physical and emotional challenges. Instead of succumbing to despair, she chose to share her journey, inspiring others dealing with similar struggles.

Her journey took a pivotal turn when she joined the Misfit Bikini Model competition, where she found an empowering community that helped her overcome self-doubt. Courtney credits the pageant with boosting her self-worth and teaching her the importance of resilience, especially in the face of adversity and failure.

Throughout her journey, Courtney learned key lessons about mental health, personal growth, and the importance of support systems. She also discovered the power of meaningful connections and how they can fuel personal development. Today, she is an advocate for chronic pain awareness and strives to inspire others to overcome their challenges and embrace their worth.

Courtney’s message is simple: “You are so much stronger than you believe.”
