Meet Dr. Courtney Wright
I wrote the book I needed when I felt most out of control.
Dr. Courtney Wright is a mother, educator, author, and unapologetic truth-teller who built her life—and her purpose—out of the pieces of trauma, transition, and transformation.From navigating motherhood while pursuing a doctorate, to launching schools and nonprofits, to healing childhood wounds in real time—Courtney embodies what it means to spiral in control, not out of it.She is the author of Spiraling In Control, a memoir that merges storytelling with healing, crafted for women, leaders, educators, and anyone learning to find peace in the storm.

Why I Wrote Spiraling In Control“This isn’t just my story. It’s our story. Of rising, breaking, rebuilding, and rising again.”The book began as journal entries during Courtney’s darkest seasons. Over time, those scribbled thoughts became a guide—a map for anyone navigating their own spiral of confusion, pain, or change.Whether you’re a mother, educator, nonprofit leader, or simply someone searching for clarity in the chaos—this book was made for you.
