🎙 Episode 3: Through the Fire – Friendship, FFA, and Finding Ourselves Host: Jazmyn Dods | Guest: Juliana Luis

In this heartfelt episode of The Owl’s Nest, I’m joined by someone who walked beside me through every season of FFA — my friend, teammate, and fellow ag alum, Juliana Luis.

From last-minute speeches in hotel lobbies to late-night pep talks before contests, Juliana and I reflect on the real, raw, and rewarding moments of our FFA journey — the ones that shaped who we are today.

We talk about:

🔥 The pressures and growth that came from competing

🌱 How FFA helped us find our voice and build confidence

💙 The importance of leaning on friendships through the hard stuff

🎯 Our favorite memories (and a lightning round of fun FFA throwbacks)

Whether you're currently navigating your own leadership path, or just need a reminder that growth is never linear — this episode is for you.
