About Courtney Colon
My Journey
From Strength to Purpose
My life has been shaped by a series of unique and transformative experiences, each one challenging me and teaching me the power of resilience, service, and purpose. Over the years, I’ve juggled multiple roles—mother, entrepreneur, advocate, and leader—all while navigating personal challenges and opportunities that shaped the person I am today.
Law Enforcement and Advocate for Safety
My time in law enforcement left a deep imprint on me. Working cases and seeing the vulnerabilities in our communities, especially concerning human trafficking and personal safety, fueled my passion for empowering others. That experience wasn’t just a job—it was a calling that opened my eyes to the importance of protection and self-reliance. Today, I channel that knowledge into self-defense programs for women, mothers, and even realtors, helping others feel strong, capable, and, most importantly, safe.
A Surrogate’s Gift of Life
One of the most rewarding, emotional, and profound experiences of my life was serving as a surrogate for a family and carrying twins. That journey taught me about selflessness, the beauty of giving, and the incredible bonds we can form when we choose to help others. It wasn’t easy—it required physical, emotional, and mental strength—but it remains a chapter in my life I treasure deeply. Through this, I learned that the impact of what we do for others can reverberate far beyond our own understanding.
Entrepreneurship and Community Building
Starting Softopolis Children's Wellness Center in Coral Springs was a dream come true. It wasn’t just a business; it was a vision of what a nurturing, holistic space for children and families could be. Selling it was bittersweet, but I’ve always believed in evolving and finding new ways to make an impact.
Beyond that, I’ve devoted myself to assisting communities, like MomsConnect, where moms can connect, support one another, and grow together. These spaces are about more than sharing tips—they’re about creating lifelines and networks that empower mothers to thrive.
Personal Growth Through Business
As a business growth strategist, I’ve experienced firsthand how interconnected our personal and professional lives are. I’ve worked tirelessly to create systems that help others succeed—whether it’s busy families needing an extra set of hands or entrepreneurs struggling to bring their ideas to life. My holistic approach focuses not just on growing businesses but also on ensuring that growth aligns with values, health, and well-being.
Overcoming Challenges and Staying Grounded
Life hasn’t been without its struggles. Balancing personal goals, professional responsibilities, and my own well-being hasn’t always been easy. A lot has forced me to evaluate what truly matters and how to align my actions with my goals.
Some challenges have been deeply personal, like moments where I’ve had to defend my choices or explain how decisions have affected me. These experiences taught me that being truthful, sharing from the heart, and focusing on my values always leads me back to a place of integrity.
The Legacy I Aim to Build
Every endeavor I’ve undertaken is connected by a common thread: a commitment to empowering others, creating safe spaces, and fostering growth. Whether through self-defense classes, wellness programs, or business coaching, my goal is to leave a lasting impact. I want to show others that their challenges can be stepping stones to strength, that their stories matter, and that they, too, can find purpose in their pain.
