Hi Reader, I want to share a part of my story with you today. Four years ago, my friend Natalie (you might know her as @blaze.a.trail) reached out and asked if I wanted to go to a retreat with her in Colorado. Weâd grown up in the same community and attended the same church, but we were always in different seasons of life. I actually used to babysit her kids! At the time, she was more of an acquaintance than a close friend. And honestly? I wasnât sure I should say yes. The retreat felt...

Hey Reader, I've been talking about Soul Strength Retreat quite a bit lately and I know what youâre thinkingâŚ"This sounds amazing, but I just donât know if I can swing it." I hear you. Signing up for something like this is a big decision, and Iâd bet at least one of these thoughts has crossed your mind: "I canât take time away from my family."I get it. But hereâs the thingâwhen you take time to rest and recharge, you show up better for your family. This retreat isnât about running away from...

Hey friend đ Youâve probably heard me talk about this retreat for farm and ranch women {Soul Strength Retreat}⌠but I want to slow down and tell you exactly who I created this for. Because if youâre like most women I know, youâve been wondering if this is something you really need. Or if now is the ârightâ time. So let me ask you a few questions: đž Are you the glue that holds everything together⌠but secretly feel like youâre unraveling a little inside?đž Have you been so focused on supporting...

Hey! I want to take a moment to introduce myselfâand the incredible woman joining me to help lead the Soul Strength Retreat: A Retreat for Women of the Land. Hi! I'm Jesse-born and raised a farmerâs daughter and now living my dream as the rancherâs wife and mother of 3, Iâve been living the rural life for a little while now. However, Iâll be the first to tell you it isnât always easy, and I hardly ever get it right. In between ranching and chasing kids, I love coffee, gardening, quilting and...

Hi @firstname! Todayâs 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 runningâon the farm, in the home, for your family. You give so much of yourself to everyone and everything else⌠but whenâs the last time you did something just for you? Thatâs exactly why I created Soul Strength. Imagine stepping away from the daily grind for a weekend surrounded by women...

Hi friend đ I see you. I see the way you pour your heart into your family, your land, and your communityâgiving your all, day after day. I see the love, the sacrifices, the deep connection to the life youâve 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 Iâve been there, too. Thatâs 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...
