071 | Forging The Path as Your Authentic Self with Courtenay DeHoff
Listen to Forging The Path as Your Authentic Self with Courtenay DeHoff on: Apple Podcasts | Spotify | Stitcher | Google Podcasts
I’m very excited to be joined by the amazing Courtenay Dehoff on the podcast today!
Courtenay grew up in the thick of agriculture (which she loved), and she eventually landed her dream career as a television host. She felt like she had checked allll of the boxes when it came to her career and life, and while everything looked good on paper, she had never been more miserable or unfulfilled. Ultimately, she knew she needed to ‘come back home’ to her cowgirl roots, and integrate that world with her new city girl lifestyle. She’s done that, and SO much more in the world!
Courtenay now embraces her unique cowgirl roots and proudly stands out in a world of cookie cutter on-camera personalities. Armed with a passion to share stories on her own terms and give prominence to the agriculture community, Courtenay has utilized her expert storytelling skills to show being a cowgirl isn’t how you look, where you live, or even the lifestyle you lead – it’s a state of mind. Courtenay even created Fancy Lady Cowgirl, a powerful community of women from all over the world who have a passion for the ag lifestyle, and really embrace their cowgirl spirit. Being a cowgirl doesn’t have to mean that it’s your occupation, but instead, it’s your mindset.
This episode is SUCH a good one, and it will definitely remind you that forging the path as your authentic self is the only way to go. You won’t want to miss Court’s story and all of the incredible work she is doing-I know you’re going to love it!
Courtenay DeHoff is a highly sought-after keynote speaker, network television personality and cowgirl. With over fifteen years of experience as a television host, Courtenay boasts a wide skill set including shooting, editing, and producing high quality content.
As the founder of the global brand movement, Fancy Lady Cowgirl, she aims to celebrate women from all walks of life and teach them to lean into their true identity to reach new levels of success and fulfillment.
Not only has Courtenay become a recognized face in television and media, but is also using her voice as a motivational speaker all over the country. Sharing the stage with the likes of Mike Rowe, Laila Ali and multiple U.S. Presidents, she recently delivered the keynote address at the National Future Farmers of America (FFA) Convention to 65,000 people inside Lucas Oil Stadium.
Courtenay is a strong agriculture advocate and has taught tens of thousands in the industry the importance of sharing their story in order to bridge the disconnect between rural and urban communities. She is an executive producer and co-host of “Backroad Cowgirls”, a digital series highlighting the diverse faces of agriculture and their stories.
Courtenay is on a mission to empower women from all walks of life to overcome feelings of unworthiness in order to unleash the cowgirl within and live legendarily.
She is a former collegiate and professional rodeo athlete and proud bucking bull mom. Catch her bull, Top Dollar, on CBS Sports most weekends at the PBR (professional bull rider) events.

“Being connected to Emily is a blessing because her radiant energy and positive vibes are contagious. She makes me feel like it’s okay to stay grounded in my own truths and be the kind of person who walks around with a smile even if everything isn’t okay. Her genuine smile and charming personality is a blessing to the world. She continues to inspire me even on the days when I feel uninspired.”
