EP 52: Today’s episode is for the women who feel most alive with dirt on their boots, wind on their face, and a calling to something bigger than themselves. I’m sitting down with a woman who didn’t just fall in love with the outdoors — she built a movement around it.

My guest is the founder of Her Outdoor Journey, a community that has become a home for women who want to learn, grow, challenge themselves, and feel empowered outside — whether that’s in the mountains, the field, the woods, or simply reconnecting with who they are when they step away from the noise.

In this episode, we unpack the story behind how Her Outdoor Journey began, the purpose that fueled it, and the moments that made it all worth it. We talk about building a brand rooted in values, creating spaces where women feel capable and confident, and what it really takes to grow something meaningful from the ground up.

We also dive into our guest’s podcast, Soul Summit — a space for intentional outdoor storytelling, deep conversations, and grounding perspectives that leave you feeling more connected than when you pressed play.

This conversation is honest, thoughtful, and powerful. If you’ve ever felt the pull toward the outdoors, community, or living a life aligned with purpose — this one is for you. Please welcome the woman behind it all, Courtney Prete.

EP 51: Today’s guest is redefining what fishing content looks like for us. She’s not just chasing fish — she’s building community, making people laugh, and she tells us today what it’s like partnering with resorts and local communities to bring experiences to life. With a rapidly growing and highly engaged audience, she’s mastered the art of blending authenticity, adventure, and strategy, all while staying true to the water and the people who make these places special. In this episode we dive into how passion, consistency, and connection can turn a love for fishing into a platform with real impact. If you’re into fishing, hunting stories, content creation, or building meaningful partnerships, you’re going to love this conversation. Please welcome Krysten Potega.
