In honour of her 40th birthday, Courtney reflects on the past year by sharing a curated list of 40 memorable “moments” — big, small, joyful, chaotic, emotional, and deeply human.

From Maple getting sprayed by a skunk to the magic of the second Mothertelling MainStage to witnessing her daughters find their confidence on ice and on stage, this episode is a reminder that stories live inside ordinary life if we learn how to notice them.

Courtney also shares how her own story-collecting habit evolved this year and why writing down simple, everyday moments has changed the way she understands and preserves her life. Whether you’re a storyteller, a mom, or someone who simply wants to feel more present, this episode offers a gentle nudge to start paying attention to the moments that matter.
