Courtney Hope Recaps 2025
Like most of us, 2025 was filled with ups and downs. Hope shared a content dump on Instagram, which included a lengthy caption about the previous year. It was a rollercoaster ride that ultimately left her feeling a sense of peace.
Most of the memories were from the set of Y&R, her travels, and times spent with family members and friends. And don’t forget her furry friends. She concluded her content dump with a clip of her smooching the camera during a plane ride.
“You cut deep. Moments of sheer elation, moments of utter grief. I felt it all,” Hope recalled. “This year, life slowed down and amplified every moment. I rode the rollercoaster that life laid out, I laughed and cried harder than ever before, encountered the hardest lessons, confronted my deepest fears and wounds, was forced to release control over and over, and accomplished some of my biggest goals.”
But in the end, Hope “finally found peace.” She concluded her post with this message, “I learned that it really doesn’t matter what timeline you think you’re on, God has his own plans and it’s best to just surrender and find joy and meaning in the ride.”

Hope concluded her message by wishing her fans a Happy New Year. She got plenty of love from her Y&R co-stars and crew members in the comments.
