We are so excited to introduce you to Courtney McNally — owner of Coffee Y’all Espresso — as our Mom Feature Friday! Thanks for the opportunity to feature you!

Take it away, Courtney ⬇️

“Hi! I'm Courtney McNally. My husband and I met shortly after graduating high school. We have been together for 9 years and married for 2! We moved to Gulfport, Mississippi from Washington State in 2021 to follow our dream of starting our own business. We chose to move here because of my husbands family being from the coast and we saw an opportunity for a business! Once our business was in a good spot we decided it was time to start our family! After many months of trying, we welcomed our baby girl on September 2nd, 2024! She is the best thing that has ever happened to us and we are LOVING being parents. I could just eat her up (I have love aggression lol).

My husband and I are the owners of Coffee Y'all Espresso! Which is also our "baby". A main focal point of our desire to own a business was to have the freedom of time to raise a family. We are incredibly fortunate that dream has become reality. I am so so thankful. Our amazing staff is truly what allows for this to happen for us. Not to mention our customers that have been so supportive. Nothing is more rewarding than seeing our customers come back time and time again. Many customers have become good friends and many others we consider like family; for both us and our staff.

Funny thing is... I did not want to move here at first. I was terrified to leave everything behind. As time has gone on, I have grown to love everything about living on the Gulf Coast. I've met so many amazing people and witnessed the meaning behind "Southern Hospitality". One of my favorite things has been enjoying the southern food and being able to enjoy the outdoors from October to March! 😆 When we are not working, we spend most of our time with our baby, family and friends.”

When asked to share a piece of advice with all the mamas out there, this is what she said:

“My biggest piece of advice is to listen to your gut. There is a lot of opinions out there on social media and in your own circle. You know what is right for your baby and family, so hold your head up high and walk in confidence!”
