This intimate and historically sold-out event will guide you on a journey toward your most fulfilling personal and professional life, Guided by the cowgirl spirit. You will depart ready to ignite your inner cowgirl, kick down the door standing between you and your dreams, and fulfill your legendary purpose.
LEARN TO LIVE LEGENDARY.
As women, we often battle a sense of not deserving more —whether it's achieving more, earning more, or going after more. The hunger for a legendary life gets tangled up with those nagging feelings of unworthiness.
If you're nodding along, you're probably eager to wake up feeling inspired and empowered. But, like many of us, the struggle is real when it comes to mapping out that path to a life full of purpose and passion.
Life, for so many women, feels like it's happened to them instead of for them. Deep down, you sense your journey should take a different shape, but the challenge lies in stepping off the path the world told you to be on.
Comparison, the search for purpose, imposter syndrome, fear of failure, and even the absence of a female support system might be hindering your journey towards a purposeful and legendary life.
I’ve been there.
Having spent over a decade searching for fulfillment, familiar with the sensation of being trapped and like an imposter in my own narrative, I hid the best part of who I was in my first decade in television. Told to remove the cowboy hat to be taken seriously, and warned my cowgirl appearance would imply small-mindedness, I believed the voices all around me. My entire life was scripted by the media giants I worked for — appearance, words, everything tightly controlled, nothing legendary.
Each morning, I faced a stranger in the mirror. I lived a life I no longer recognized.
After a prolonged struggle to fully embrace my authenticity, I decided enough was enough. I needed a life I owned, not one that owned me. The key to this personal do-over? Going back to the cowgirl values I grew up with.
As a little girl, I wholeheartedly embraced my cowgirl identity. However, it was a princess hat that first taught me I could be more than one thing. A friend placed that princess hat on my head and declared, "Now you're a fancy lady!” It was a revelation—I realized I could be both a fancy lady and a cowgirl.
Fast forward to today, and my global Fancy Lady Cowgirl community serves as a beacon for women seeking to embrace their individuality. Through this community, women can soar to new heights of success and fulfillment, all driven by the legendary spirit of the cowgirl.

TITLE SPONSOR:
The National Cutting Horse Association returns for the second year as the presenting event partner! The first cutting horse competition was held in 1898 in Haskell, Texas. In front of 1,500 spectators, Sam Graves and his 22-year-old horse, Hub, beat 10 other horse and rider teams to win $150 in prize money.
Clothes, riding styles and the amount of prize money up for grabs has certainly changed since then, but a cowboy or cowgirl from the 19th century would still have the same goal as competitors in the 21st century: show off the instinct and natural ability of your horse by cutting one cow from the herd at a time.
