Hi @firstname! Todayās email from me is a little more personal. I was looking back through my journal that I've keep my ideas in over the last 2 years as one does when planning something big (like a retreat!) and found an entry that I wrote in January of 2023 and I wanted to share it with you: "I want to become a life coach for rural women. I want to help them reach their full potential and thrive in their roles on the farm and ranch. Rural women are the foundation of the farm and ranch. They...

Dear fellow woman of the land, I get it. The early mornings, the late nights, the meals thrown together between chores. The endless to-do list that never seems to shrink. The weight of keeping everything runningāon the farm, in the home, for your family. You give so much of yourself to everyone and everything elseā¦ but whenās the last time you did something just for you? Thatās exactly why I created Soul Strength. Imagine stepping away from the daily grind for a weekend surrounded by women...

Hi friend š I see you. I see the way you pour your heart into your family, your land, and your communityāgiving your all, day after day. I see the love, the sacrifices, the deep connection to the life youāve been called to. But I also know how easy it is to put yourself last, to carry the weight of everything without stopping to breathe, to rest, to receive. I know this because Iāve been there, too. Thatās why I created Soul Strength: A Retreat for Women of the Land. This retreat is more than...

Hey friends! I apologize that it's been a while! I've been truly enjoying my time off-line, busy working behind the scenes and raising up little ranchers but now it's time to reconnect. I've miss you all! In the last 6 months, I took a significant step back from social media and creating content. One, I didn't have the time or energy for it anymore and two, I just didn't like the feelings it invoked in me. Inadequacy, discontent, stress, etc. It just felt like everyone was trying to one up...

Imagine a seed, small and unassuming, nestled in the rich soil of a vast field. With each passing day, it faces the elementsāharsh winds, relentless sun, and torrential rains. Yet, it...

Hi Mama š¤ I took last week off from sending an email. I hope that's okay! You see, we branded the calves last weekend and had company around and even did a few fun things like fishing and hiking so instead of burning the midnight oil trying to write an email (these things take longer than they should for me), I decided just to rest and get some sleep after the busy weekend. Old me would have gotten that email done no matter how long it took to write or how late I stayed up. Old me would have...

Hi Mama š¤ Thanks for hanging in there with me these last couple days through this launch! My hope is that I've inspired you to find joy in your own motherhood journey and to celebrate how far you've come. Being a farm and ranch mama isn't easy, we all know that. And I could be wrong about this, but I'm guessing that raising kids on the ranch will be the hardest and most rewarding thing I ever do. š«¶š» And with that, I leave you with a poem I wrote almost a year ago that still holds true today....

My transition from ranch wife to ranch mom hasn't been an easy one. I love helping out on the ranch AND I love being the Mom. But in all honesty, the struggle has been a real journey of ups and downs. I struggled with accepting my new role (even though I loved it) because I also knew when I was missing out on as the former right hand helper to my rancher. Maybe you can relate? šš» I was always better at cleaning the barn than I was at cleaning the house. šš» I felt uncomfortable standing...

Hi Mama š¤ Were you one of those kids who knew what they wanted to be when they grew up or did you just want to try everything like me? Well I think I've finally found the perfect job... It's called "Mom" You see, as a Mom I get to be the educator, the nurse, the chef, the maid, the event planner, the entertainment, the warden, the stylist, the good cop, the bad cop, the nutritionist, the gardener, the safety police, the driver, the therapist, the pastor, the cheerleader, and the personal...
