Today’s episode of Shining Light on Minnesota just dropped and wow… this one is special.

Our host Karissa Dunham sat down with Abby Oxborough from Sugar Lake Lodge and we went deep.

We talked about what it’s really like to follow in her dad’s footsteps and carry on a second generation legacy. The pressure. The pride. The responsibility. Stepping into the role of boss while honoring the foundation that was built before you.

She shared what it was like growing up at the resort and now raising her own kids the same way. Resort life becomes family life. Work life balance looks different when it’s all intertwined.

We also talked about their family’s history with stuttering and how that shaped their resilience, leadership, and what truly makes them stand out. It’s about heart. It’s about grit. It’s about showing up anyway.

Abby is intentional. Personal. The kind of leader who knows your name and your dog’s name. That’s culture. That’s connection. That’s how you build teams that last.

Legacy. Leadership. Family. Intention.

Go listen and tell me what part hit home for you ✨
