Finding Reverie: An Entrepreneur's Journey with Courtney Rioux, Actor & Life Coach
This episode, we’re spotlighting Courtney Rioux — actor, voiceover artist, and life coach — whose journey from a shy kid to a confident performer is both inspiring and deeply relatable.
You may know her as Paramedic Courtney on Chicago Med or recognize her warm voice from Jimmy Dean commercials. But behind the spotlight is a story of grit, growth, and self-belief. Courtney opens up about the moment she knew she wanted to be an actor (hello, high school lead role as a freshman!) — and how she’s learned to thrive in an industry built on rejection.
Through her work with a life coach, Courtney developed tools to combat self-doubt and fear — including one powerful practice: keeping a running list of every win, accomplishment, and YES she’s ever received. When rejection shows up (as it always does), she turns to that list as a reminder of her worth.
Courtney also shares her powerful philosophy of building a "happiness portfolio" — one that’s not solely tied to career success. Because true fulfillment? It’s about nurturing every part of who you are.
