This episode was so fun and you're going to learn a bunch of info about how Ricca and her hubby prep their land for fall deer season here in the Midwest. Ricca gives us some tips and tricks to getting deer to travel a certain way, and how her and her husband pattern the bucks on their property. We also talk about photography and her passion for working with outdoor brands. She’s actually a powerhouse when it comes to working with outdoor brands! She already has some dream brand connections- think Lund Boats and more! Something I didn’t expect us to talk so deep about was a question I asked "what is something she would tell her younger self?" This ended up in a sweet conversation about how you should just go out there and do it, regardless of how nervous you are! Enjoy!

This guest just published her first YA novel, Rapid City Summer, a book about a teen girl who moves from one state to another mid high school and meets a boy who teaches her many life lessons, but one in particular is fly fishing. You can find this book anywhere books are sold online! Connie found a passion for fishing with her husband and loves anything outdoors that can keep her moving! From running to fly fishing to muskies, this girl enjoys it all. Please welcome Connie Richardson!

Today's guest is a total baddy! She's a passionate outdoorswoman with trout streams running through her veins, a kayak rigged like a battleship, and has a love for Wisconsin's wild places. Whether she's on the ice or just chasing the next perfect cast, her energy is contagious. But today, we also go beyond the fishing gear and the fun to talk about something deeply personal. She's currently in the middle of a fight that requires more grit, more faith and more strength than any backcountry adventure. She's facing breast cancer head-on and she's doing it with grace, humor and the heart of a warrior. I'm honored to share the mic with her today. Welcome Taylor Cunningham!

This episode feels like a warm hug- because I'm joined by the incredibly kind, genuine and all around lovely Dori Sell! Dori is the type of woman you instantly feel at home with - the kind of friend we all need in our lives. She's a true girls-girl who's just as comfortable getting her hands dirty on the boat or in the woods... or out with her chickens and bees, as she is showing up with heart and authenticity in everything she does. We talk about life, walleye fishing, her long-anticipated bear hunt, chicken momming, beekeeping and much more! If you need a breath of fresh air and a convo that's good for the soul- this one's for you.

Spending the next 50 minutes of your life yapping about my new Mathews Lift RS and how I made the decision to switch from my Mission Craze that I've been shooting for 13 years!! I give my why, the specs and exactly how I accessorized and built my personal new Mathews Lift RS. At the end I chat about recent 'favs' and discuss bra shopping at Nordstrom (you must do this), tongue scraping (LOL) and all about the protein powder I am drooling over (see link below!!).

In this episode I sit down with Macey Bundt, someone who's carved out her own path in the outdoor and photography/creative space - from getting her first break at 15 shooting for the MN Wild, to now working alongside Cameron Hanes and having a background with MTN OPS. We unpack her story- how she got her foot in the door, the moments that shaped her career, and what it's really like behind the scenes of some of the industry's biggest names. Macey shares how fitness plays a role in her life, what a typical day in the life looks like for her and where she's inspired to head next. Whether you're chasing a creative dream or grinding through your own journey, there's something in this episode for you.

Stephanie is someone whose heart is rooted deep in both storytelling and the soil. She’s the author behind a series of charming children’s books that open the barn doors letting young readers peek in to the real, down-to-earth life on the farm. In this episode, we dive into the heart of farm life, why it matters, and why it's often misunderstood. Stephanie shares how most farmers are simply too busy doing the hard, honest work of feeding the world to explain that they’re not part of some big, scary system — they’re families. Real people. Just like yours and mine.Stephanie also gives us some fun tips on how to get innovative in the woods for whitetail hunting and she shares some great hunting stories that might get you thinking on how to trend and track your deer to ensure you have a successful season. Whether you’re a parent, a hunter, or someone who’s just curious about where your food comes from, this is a conversation you won’t want to miss.Connect with Stephanie:Instagram: the.whitehousefarmWebsite: www.welcometoourfarmlife.comConnect with Victoria: @victoriafriedges@shegoesbeyondthe8

This episode had me in my feels! Madi is not only beyond knowledgable about what rifle she chooses and why and ammunition in general, but she also has so much knowledge on bettering yourself inside and out. This podcast episode teaches you so much about rifles, long range shooting, and much more... but one of my favorite parts is how Madi teaches us to separate work from play and simple ways to feel more feminine while changing your life for the better.
