Courtney Stanfield

Courtney Stanfield is a veteran Canadian TV broadcaster, mother of three, and a mental wellness innovator. She created Air Out! to give people a place to feel heard without judgment, debate, or backlash. The idea came to her in a dream so vivid that she started reaching out to app developers in the middle of the night.

Air Out! is an anonymous chat space designed to bring instant relief to the nervous system. With no usernames, no interaction between users, a 100-character limit, and built-in language filters, it’s a safe, simple way to vent, confess, brag, or unburden thoughts. Originally launched to help parents manage the stresses of raising children, the app has grown into a supportive outlet for everyone, with six themed chat spaces.

Courtney believes unspoken thoughts and feelings weigh people down with guilt and shame. Air Out! acts like a modern virtual diary — a place where anyone can share freely, knowing no one will ever know who they are. While posts are visible to read, no one can comment, putting an end to social media arguments and negativity. It’s simple, private, and powerfully effective.

“There isn’t a single person who wouldn’t benefit from using Air Out! It’s a place to set yourself free.” — Courtney Stanfield, Founder
