This week on She Goes Beyond, I sit down with the one and only Leah Andersen. The infamous adorable blonde, badass huntress who pushes past the negative comments because she knows her why. Leah has a good head on her shoulders and talks us through how she has navigated her tough go with social media. She also tells us all about her wild trips she's taking in 2025. We reminisce about past hunts and gab about bikinis and travel must haves.

In this episode I meet up with Taylor Tix and Cris Bickman, a mother-daughter nurse duo who takes life by the horns!

Taylor and Cris have found an ever lasting love for clean, affordable and effective products. They've built their company Taylor and Co from the ground up, have huge aspirations for women and children in the outdoors and know what it's like to need to turn to self care.

Cris is on the board of directors as the Youth Program Coordinator for Alliance For Wildlife Conservation and Taylor was raised under her wing to hunt and live off the land. Honestly, what more can I say to make them sound any cooler?

This episode will allow you to learn about how to donate to get kids involved in initiatives that make a huge impact for our wildlife, clean products and the mission behind Taylor and Co, but really most of all, you get to learn about two strong, beautiful souls living life to the fullest; and their life is surrounded by all the right things. Let's get to it...
