When I reflect on my curling career, my work ethic is what I’m most proud of. At this point, I’m out of gas and unable to make the commitment necessary to compete among the best.
Thank you
@TeamHoman
and all the supporters along the way. ❤️
After the 2021/22 season,
@JoCourtney89
will be taking some time away from curling to focus on her family and career. We will greatly miss Jo on our team, but we are excited about her next chapter. She has been the most incredible teammate.
Full release:
Mark Nichols breaking down.
As he hugs Brad Gushue.
“You’re the best ever” Nichols said, fighting back tears. Gushue said the same thing.
Imagine their journey together over all these years.
This is a remarkable moment between two of the best Canadian curlers.

Decompressing from 16 days of Olympic 🥌 coverage. What an intense few weeks in the booth covering 35 games and being on-air for 100+ hours!
It was an honour & a privilege to help present the sport I ❤️

There is nothing better than being a part of a phenomenal team. A big thank you to CBC, the talented producers and my wonderful colleagues for making me feel so welcomed.
Let’s do it again sometime? ☺️

Alright I’ll bite. Which curler is wasted and smoking at the Olympics?? Must have missed him/her on the broadcast.
Happy to show you the ropes and change your mind Warren. Would even let you join me for my off ice training ☺️

Curling has been a huge part of my life, but this year I’ve appreciated it from a new angle. I’m excited about the future of the game after taking in the

action - our Canadian women are outstanding. (1/2)
That’s a wrap on the 2023 Scotties 🥰 Congratulations to Team Canada - I cannot wait to cheer you on at Worlds in a few weeks 🇨🇦
Huge congrats to the entire Scotties field - it was inspiring to see so much grit, intensity and athleticism. (1/2)
What can I say… processing the emotions of today has felt like a “future Jo problem” for a long time.
I’m a little all over the place, but that’s okay. I would hate to be at a point where stepping away brought zero feelings of sadness. (1/2)
Last night with Alex before I'm away from him for a month of training / Scotties &

Happy “end of curling season” to all the curlers & people behind the scenes - it was SO fun watching outstanding performances at the highest level 🙌

Happy Sunday everyone 🙃
Hitting the ground running! 🌪 🌪 A quick bite to eat with my

teammates then off to the studio to get set for the broadcast this evening. Sweden vs. Switzerland on the 📺
Being completely honest because I know many athletes have felt this but I’m in the deepest of black holes wishing we could have found another centimetre for Canada.
Know that I’m cheering hard for every athlete in Beijing right now but personally struggling beyond words.
First triathlon in the books! 🏊♀️🏃♀️🚴♀️
I didn’t have any real goals (just to survive swimming) but I still did better than expected!
Thank you Taren for getting me to where I needed to for my first race! Appreciate all your support over the last several months 🙌🏻 ON TO THE NEXT
It’s me 👋

Soooo….. it seems things are NOT heading in the right direction back at home. Not only does Alex think pants are optional, but shirts now too? 🤦🏻♀️🤷🏻♀️
Absolutely gutted
@TeamHomanMorris

Full training for the Scotties at the moment, but I want to give a very special shout out to the University of Alberta Hospital. Unit 5B1, you all are truly the best 💕
Escaped from our cubicles and suited up to discuss directional sweeping with

👋 👀Happy New Year everyone! I decided to make the big return on social media in 2022 to be more connected to everyone, and share ALL the Alex content of course. Join me on the journey to watch him grow up into a little basketball pro… unless I can turn him into a curler too.😉
Start of a swim bonspiel at the pool this AM. Tons of teenagers, none laughed at my ridiculous breathing drills 🙌
… also learned it’s called a “swim meet”
Have a great weekend everyone 🙃
Heading home! ✈️
New basketball shirts for Alex… Hoping this will get me back in the good books since he’s been calling me “daddy” on FaceTime all week 🤣

Let’s compare sweeping marathon pumps 💪🏼😶
The first photo is most recently at 2022 provincials, 7 round-robin games in 48 hours!
The second photo is the 2015 Scotties.
My left arm (the arm down during sweeping) continues to be out of control! 🤯🧹 🥌
What a week at the 2024 Scotties 🤯
I am so grateful for the opportunity to cover the incredible curling, storylines and athletes.
Congratulations to
@teamhoman
on the huge win! 🏆
And all the best to Jennifer Jones - an outstanding curling career. We will all miss watching…
I’m looking forward to making new goals and celebrating growth in other aspects of my life. I am so humbled by the outpouring of support. It means the world to me. Thank you so much everyone for making me feel special. Don’t worry, I won’t be a stranger ❤️ (2/2)

CANADA TO THE PLAYOFFS!
CLINCHED!
The Canadians storm back in the final end with three to stun Norway and punch a ticket to the semifinals at the Paralympics. 7-6 victory!
A gutsy effort by a Canadian wheelchair curling team that just wouldn't quit. Incredible.

Hard to believe some people still don’t consider curling a “real” sport. I’ve been sore for 3 days after my first curling-specific workout since taking a break 🫠

I have something nice to say post swim for the first time ever.
It didn’t totally suck today. The impending sense of doom is decreasing.
And I swam continuously for 200m 🙌 (may not sound like much but that’s a PB for me)
The best part of sport is that nothing is guaranteed… friendly reminder that nobody heads into a championship trying to lose - nobody wants to underperform out there.
If you don’t have anything nice to say, perhaps lay off that keyboard 🙃
One week today until the🥇games on
#cbccurl
. That will conclude one month on the road away from these two. A big shoutout to my hubby
@markcoyeg
for holding down the fort with our pantless little monster. Thank you for everything you do for us. Can’t wait to see you both soon ❤️
This is Mary. We worked together for 10 years (she retired last October). 💕
She’s honestly the BEST! Always sends thoughtful messages (especially after losses, that’s when you really know someone is in your corner!!). Thanks for the support, Mary❤️
Race strategy:
1. Survive the swim.
2. Feel like a boss in transition.
3. Rip it on the bike (but don’t kill the legs).
4. Empty the tank on the run.
That was exhilarating 🙌
To Canada, the smallest, biggest community I know. I just want to thank you all for your tremendous love and support.
After coming home, I was so overwhelmed with feelings that I had let everyone down and it was hard to navigate.
LIFE UPDATE! Come join me while I train for my first ever Triathlon (although I still need to learn how to swim 🤔). September 2022, PTO US Open🏃♀️🚴♀️🏊♀️
