Hi friend 😊 I see you. I see the way you pour your heart into your family, your land, and your community—giving your all, day after day. I see the love, the sacrifices, the deep connection to the life you’ve 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 I’ve been there, too. That’s why I created Soul Strength: A Retreat for Women of the Land. This retreat is more than just a getaway—it’s a sacred pause. A chance to step away from the responsibilities that never seem to end and step into a space where you can rest, reconnect, and rise with renewed strength. At Soul Strength, we embrace the truth that giving to yourself isn’t selfish—it’s God’s design. For too long, we’ve believed the lie that we have to do it all, carry it all, and be everything for everyone. But the truth is, you were never meant to do this alone. You were meant to be filled, to be strengthened, to be reminded of the purpose God has placed within you. Through faith, fellowship, and renewal, this retreat will be a time to honor the unique calling on your life and reignite the passions He has planted in your heart. When I started Beyond the Fencelines, my mission was clear: to help farm and ranch women move beyond just surviving—to truly thrive. I’ve seen firsthand how the demands of this life can leave us feeling exhausted, disconnected, and uncertain of our place. But I also know the power of community, the healing that happens when we gather, and the way God moves when we simply make space for Him. This retreat is that space. A place where you can show up exactly as you are—tired, hopeful, searching, grateful—and leave feeling lighter, stronger, and reminded of the beautiful, irreplaceable role you play in your family, your land, and God’s greater plan. More details—including how to claim your spot—are coming soon. But today, I just wanted to personally invite you to consider this: What if, for once, you said yes to yourself? What if you gave yourself permission to rest, to be renewed, to be surrounded by women who truly understand this life? If this is stirring something in your heart, stay tuned—I can’t wait to share more. When: September 5-7, 2025 Where: Flathead Lake, Montana 🌻 You Grow Girl, ​ Jesse |
Join us every Monday for a dose of inspiration, behind-the-scenes stories, and practical tools crafted just for farm and ranch women, empowering you to thrive in your vital role on the land.
Hey! I want to take a moment to introduce myself—and 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 farmer’s daughter and now living my dream as the rancher’s wife and mother of 3, I’ve been living the rural life for a little while now. However, I’ll be the first to tell you it isn’t always easy, and I hardly ever get it right. In between ranching and chasing kids, I love coffee, gardening, quilting and...
Hi @firstname! Today’s 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 running—on the farm, in the home, for your family. You give so much of yourself to everyone and everything else… but when’s the last time you did something just for you? That’s exactly why I created Soul Strength. Imagine stepping away from the daily grind for a weekend surrounded by women...
