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.

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.

In this episode, we will cover:

• Courtenay’s story of growing up surrounded by agriculture, to then landing her dream career as a television host, but still feeling unfulfilled
• Connecting with people + building relationships with those who understand the importance of staying true to who you are, while also fully embracing a new lifestyle
• What can happen when you choose to live life as your most authentic self
• Courtenay’s upcoming Fancy Lady Cowgirl event + her new TV show, Backroad Cowgirls 
• Helping people in both the ag space and urban America be more open to learning about what the other side has to offer
• The power of investing in yourself + surrounding yourself with those you’re striving to be more like
