“I decided to join Courtney for Mothertelling because she’s incredible and I see her vision so clearly. I believe in the power of storytelling, authenticity and sharing our truth… Week after week I showed up to our calls and connected with other women, and I realized I wasn’t alone.

The Mothertelling vision was birthed alongside my first daughter 7 years ago when moms shared their stories with me while we spent time in the NICU. Their messages helped me feel connected. They helped me feel seen and understood at a time when I felt alone.
I knew from that moment I wanted to bring mothers together to share true stories of motherhood so we could connect deeply through shared experiences.
I wanted to develop a supportive community with people who understood the joys, challenges, struggles and triumphs of motherhood.
I wanted moms to feel celebrated in all that it means to be a mom. That is Mothertelling - the experience, the community.

Anita Watamanuk, Storyteller
“Ever done something and it ended up not being what you expected? Not what you expected in a way that it was so much more than you imagined it could be? When it came time to share my story with everyone in our virtual class I discovered they all wanted me to do well. They listened, they shared, they nodded and they told me what I needed to hear. We shared more, laughed lots, shed tears and we connected. Connected in a profound way. The part I didn’t expect were these connections and friendships”.
FAQs

No. It is always your choice on when, where and if you tell your story. However, after doing the work on your story I have no doubt you will want to share yours. The Office Hours and the Virtual Open Mic night are a great place to start!
-
No. Part of the membership growth path revolves around helping you find and collect stories frm your memory and everyday life. Once you start finding stories you will start to see them everywhere!
-
As much or a little as you want. If you are preparing to tell your story at one of our events you will need to commit more time to rehearsal and memorization. If you are finding or crafting your story you may need more time for creativity. Coming live to the Group coaching calls and Office hours will be really beneficial but committing beyond that is up to you.

That is Ah-mazing! Bring all your stories! That is truly what this is all about! The membership is designed to give you many opportunities to share your stories. We may get you to focus on one at a time but there is no cap to how many stores you can have and what you can share!

I’m glad you asked. The answer is no. Although we will be focusing on stories of motherhood and the majority of us will be moms, the tools and techniques taught will be beneficial to anyone wanting to develop their storytelling and publlc speaking skills.

Maybe you aren’t ready to tell that story yet… Although storytelling is therapeutic it is not therapy. We have designed this program to help you tell your story not heal you trauma. Working with your story will help you but it is not a replacement for real therapy. We are happy to help guide you to trusted professionals if that is what you think you need first ♥️
