Courtney Carlstrom
Hi! I’m Courtney Carlstrom, a longtime Chicagoan — over 20 years in this city and still obsessed with the energy, grit, and endless brunch spots. I live here with my husband, Shawon, our three kids (Henry, Theo, and Isla), and our dog Doogie, who’s basically the fourth child.
I’m a former teacher turned nonprofit founder, now serving as President of Hair & Hope. We support individuals going through chemotherapy by providing cold caps to help preserve their hair, along with mentorship during treatment.
When I’m not working or running kids around, you can usually find me running by choice, brunching with friends, reading, or playing bunco — preferably while laughing way too loudly.
I love Earlybirds because nothing beats dancing with a room full of badass women and being able to tell my family, “I’m working!” It’s joy, community, and confidence — all wrapped into one party.
Can’t wait to dance, connect, and celebrate women who know fun doesn’t require staying out late….because I really do have shit to do in the morning!
