Transforming trauma into strength through truth, leadership, and connection

Courtney Ugle is a proud Ballardong/Wardandi Noongar woman, storyteller, footballer, and founder of Waangkiny, a space for courageous conversations and community healing.

Orphaned before 20 and shaped by generational trauma and domestic violence, Courtney doesn’t just speak about resilience, she lives it.

Her story is raw, powerful, and deeply moving, making her a sought-after keynote speaker for organisations seeking truth, inclusion, and culture-driven change.

Through football, leadership, and her work with Waangkiny, Courtney invites audiences to rethink what’s possible in the face of adversity.

Her message is not about shame, it’s about strength, legacy, and lighting the path for future generations.
