Her Wild Outdoors

This episode of Her Wild Outdoors I am joined by Dana Sacia. She has come up with a genius networking idea of connecting those with the same mindset of the outdoors with each other based on location and things you have in common. Whether it is used for meeting a significant other, likeminded friends in your area or even advice on guide services that are reputable, it is a great tool to connect. We chat a little about how a hobby turned into a lifestyle and Dana does a great job of including others in her passions! Listen in and find others near you who love the outdoors as much as you do!

Lee has a conversation with me in this episode of Her Wild Outdoors about transitioning from small game to large game in hunting. Lee is a great fisherman and had dabbled in small game. She has, since we recorded, harvested her first bear! I am so excited to go back and listen as she was preparing for this season. Lee does some fun things out there with her drone in the wild outdoors! Enjoy this chat and let us know what you like! 

Bobby joins me for a great conversation about growing up hunting and how it changes and evolves especially when you add three daughters to the mix! We discuss how he is prepping for a lifetime with his daughters in the outdoors, how important it is to have a plan and the growth we have as hunters when we mentor and teach another person to hunt. Bobby also gives us some pretty cool things he has right now for turkey hunting and deer hunting that can help make a hunt easier. Enjoy it as you listen!

Mark joins me for a conversation about starting Grizzly Ears.  We talk about his hunting experience and how much he loves being out there and how Grizzly Ears has been beneficial to the hunting industry and more. We also get to talk about Thor the amazing Labrador who is a versatile hunting dog. Mark talks a bit about the hunting industry and community.  We cover what it is like to own a company in this day in age and how finding people to represent his company can be hard to come by. He is very particular in finding "REAL" people who are true to self and others. So follow along and listen in to the podcast. Hear all about hunting East and West Coast. What it is like to hunt alongside some of the most amazing guides in the United States. This was a fun conversation. 

How many women do you know are graduates of Army Ranger School and have harvested a beautiful bull elk? Lt. Colonel Lisa Jaster sits down and has a great conversation with me about her time in the US Army and Army Reserves. She and I discuss how important the outdoors is in our life and in our families lives. We also talk about men and women in "traditional roles". Her platform "delete the adjective" is one that she is passionate about. We discuss how we all have our differences but we all have some commonalities as well. Is it necessary to talk about us saying "she is a female hunter"? Or to say "he is a male hunter"? Same for the military..."she is a female soldier". It is a double emphasis on gender instead of what you are truly defining. I am grateful for Lisa and her conversation. Let us know what you think!

McKayla joins me in a conversation discussing the importance of mindset! We talk about how her life was changed in a moment and what her support system has meant to her physically and mentally. We talk about hunting before the accident and after.  McKayla is a strong minded woman who knows what she wants and where she wants to be. The question how can I help vs what can I do for you is something to keep in mind when supporting someone with a disability! McKayla has been a huge example for a SCI community.  Listen in and hear just how passionate she is about the outdoors and how strong she is! Thank you McKayla for your time and story.

Join me for a great conversation with Glorianne Boyd of Florida. We had a blast talking about her life in the outdoors with her husband Ryan and being a spectator for years and then feeling the competitive pull into hunting. We chatted about how that transition was harder than she thought. The chance to go to New Zealand was amazing and we were able to talk about perseverance on that trip. Enjoy the episode and let us know your favorite parts on IG. @herwildoutdoors @wildtechgirl

I found Lyndsey through a friend on Instagram and the first video I watched was the one of her loading up her buck in the back of her truck solo. Girl is keeping it real out there. We recorded this podcast and had a laugh doing it. Enjoy hearing all about how she began in the outdoors but also how it has evolved over time. We all grow in our hunting and taking that step out of the familiar into the new can be intimidating. She does it with grace and strength as well as a heap of confidence and mojo! Have fun listening in and let us know what your favorite part is! You can find Lyndsey on IG as @lyndseykotrla

Amanda and I sat down one morning talking and laughing for almost an hour and then decided to press record! We dove into how she got started hunting and how that influenced her desire to pass it on. She and I discussed how social media and reality can go hand in hand only when there is transparency. Amanda is involved in so many things from That Hunting Girl to the Women's Hunting Association, but her heart is 100% involved in hands on education and encouragement of women around her. Women learn how to shoot and hunt through programs such as Range Days and Take Me Hunting! Join us and listen in on our conversation. Let us know what you think and what stood out to you. 

Stacey Sutherlin and I sit down to have a conversation about her move to Alaska, nursing and learning new surroundings in the Alaskan wilderness for hunting and fishing. Even more so we touch on the topic of authenticity. How important it is to be honest in who you are and how you portray yourself in life. Listen in and let us know what you think!
