EP 70: She's a passionate hunter, storyteller, and independent woman who's carving out her own path in the outdoors. Through every hunt, every challenge, and every story she shares, she's inspiring more women to step outside their comfort zones, chase adventure, and prove there's no one way to belong in this industry. Today we're talking hunting, social media, personal growth, and the woman behind Huntress Hannah. Please welcome Hannah Stark!

EP 68: What if I told you today's guest can decorate a house, shoot a bow, raise a family, grow a brand, and still make the rest of us wonder where she finds the time? She's built a life that blends motherhood, the outdoors, creativity, and ambition in a way that a lot of women aspire to. But behind the beautiful home projects, hunting content, and social media posts is a real woman navigating the same challenges we all face—balancing family, passion, fitness, and the pursuit of big dreams. Today we're diving into all of it. So grab your coffee and settle in because this is a good one. Welcome to the show, Abby Pendry!

EP 67: She didn't grow up as the stereotypical outdoorswoman. In fact, she'd be the first to tell you that not too long ago, she would have described herself as a city girl. But somewhere along the way, fishing, adventure, and life in the outdoors became a huge part of who she is now. Today we're talking about that evolution, the pursuit of muskies, and everything she's learned along the way. Please welcome to the podcast, Reagan Miller.

EP 66: Today’s guest spent years working inside Canada’s federal penitentiary system as a crisis negotiator and mental health nurse, helping people through some of the most intense and traumatic moments imaginable. But after years of carrying the emotional weight of that work, she found herself facing her own battle with PTSD. What ultimately became part of her healing journey wasn’t just traditional therapy — it was fishing. Since then, she’s made it her mission to help have fishing recognized as a legitimate therapeutic tool for mental health disorders, working with government agencies and helping change the conversation around trauma and recovery. Her journey is now even being featured in an upcoming documentary by the National Film Board of Canada. I’m incredibly honored to have this conversation today with Christine Lapeer.

EP 65: Most people will never know what it feels like to hook into a fish that feels more prehistoric than real—but today’s guest does. She’s built a strong presence in the outdoor world and showcases her adventures paddlefishing- sharing the adrenaline, the grit, and the reality behind a sport. Beyond the fish itself, she represents a new wave of women in the outdoors—showing up authentically, working hard, and doing things unapologetically her own way. She’s artistic and runs multiple of her own businesses, while also chasing every season that includes a shot gun rifle or bow. Welcome to the show, Georgia Klink!

EP 64: There’s a narrative out there that hunting is something you have to be born into… that if you didn’t grow up in it, it’s not for you. But today’s guests are breaking that wide open. They’re creating a space where women can show up exactly as they are—no experience, no background—and leave stronger, more confident, and fully capable of doing hard things. Today’s episode is about women who refuse to sit on the sidelines. Women who are stepping into the outdoors, into the hunt, and into who they were created to be—strong, capable, and unapologetically bold. The women behind Sisterhood of the Hunt aren’t just hosting hunts… they’re building confidence, creating opportunity, and proving that you don’t need permission to take up space in this world—you just need the courage to step into it. Please welcome, Laurel and Jaycey from Sisterhood of the Hunt!!

EP 63: Today's guest built a life around fishing and she doesn't just show up- she puts in the work, from trapping her own minnows, to really understanding what's happening on the water. We also get into what it looks like to bring her son along for all of it! How she's introducing him to fishing, minnow trapping and the outdoors in a real hands on way. Please welcome Susie Busta!!

EP 62: This isn’t your typical ‘girls weekend’ energy. We’re talking discomfort, connection—and the kind of experiences that actually change you. And today, we’re also getting into a side of the outdoors that not everyone understands… bear hunting with hounds—the strategy behind building a pack, the discipline it takes to run dogs, and the split-second decisions when a bear is treed. I’m sitting down with the woman behind Whiskey Creek Retreats, a brand that’s redefining what it looks like for women to show up in the outdoors—and it all started because a retreat experience of her own changed the trajectory of her life. Chelsea Hansler—let’s get into it.
