Anxiety is one of those ugly words that many don't want to talk about, let alone face, but, it is a VERY real part of life.

Mary is now a Montana gal, and loving her life in the outdoors, hunting and now coming full circle to share her lifestyle with her family. She is also the founder of a new company called Advent-hers which is an online community for women to come together and share their experiences in the outdoors.

Another week, another episode. On today’s show I have the pleasure of catchin up with Kayla Nevius - badass, motivator, and outdoorsman. This California girl is hungry for adventure and is always out taking on something awesome. In fact, the first time I came across Kayla on IG she had just shared a clip from a deer hunt in CA and captured her reaction, and excitement after the shot - I immediately got hooked. Listen in as we discuss life, mindset, hunting, fishing and our shared love of fitness and health. I have some deep rooted connection with this woman, and admire her positive outlook on life, goals, and specifically facing "set back". When I reached out at the beginning of the year to set up an interview with her I was blown away by her response to some of the guest questions I sent her, and I knew immediately she had the mindset of a warrior. Kayla is someone who focuses on LIVING life, and fulfilling her soul by following her dreams, and always knowing NO MATTER WHAT there is good to seek, and enjoy. Follow more from Kayla here on Instagram, or on Facebook - she is definitely someone that can keep you motivated and inspired.

You know who’s a badass? Caitlin Turner, that’s who. In today’s episode I have the privilege of meeting up with her at the No Limits Archery shop in Denver after spending the weekend catching the Alpha Bowhunting Challenge. I’ve never met someone who’s life, and story, sound so much like my own, but I truly felt connected with Caitlin and know so many others will be able to relate to her and her journey. From her path through some dark times, to overcoming and finding her way, she's had a little bit of it all. Together we recap the ABC event in Eagle, and what goes into the Alpha challenge, as well as online the course and what you can expect if you come to an event to participate, or spectate. I highly suggest both! Caitlins passion for learning, becoming the best version of herself, and rolling through life beside other strong people in the bowhunting community was a breath of fresh air, and something I definitely want to be a part of. Listen in, and be sure to check out the Alpha Bowhunting Challenge. Connect with Caitlin on Instagram and on Facebook.

Over this last weekend I was able to get out in the mountains and explore some new land. Anytime I head out on a hunt, of course my main goal is to fill the tag and harvest an animal. This weekend though, didn't lead me to a filled tag, but instead to seeing success and failure through different eyes - a perspective that has really provoked some thought. We often see “success, obstacles, or failure” as black and white, but I realized this weekend that doing so negates the opportunity to find, and hold, onto other successes. When we open ourselves up to letting hard situations or circumstances be used for all possible growth, we win. It’s easy to get “overwhelmed” and fall into the pity portion of the obstacle which then spirals the hurdle you're facing into being “another personal attack”, or another bump in the road. But, I think you would be better served to learn how to navigate through them without the overwhelming sense of failure, or defeat. More often than not when we come across hurdles we subconsciously lump them into other negative, or unmanaged feelings we have stored creating a multitude of emotions. Even without meaningfully doing so, the "small" issue turns into total chaos, and conditions us for feeling more like giving up than the situations really deserves. Staying objective and not subjective on each independent battle you face, or bunching them all up together, is a huge part of moving through these times of trial. I believe we can all benefit from switching the mindset and looking at these trials through a problem solvers eyes, instead of falling flat and giving up! Dive into my top tips for overcoming the obstacles. #1 take emotion out of it - easier said than done, especially when things feel so close and so personal (this is especially true if you have faced many hurdles before this one). But give yourself a few minutes to process the problem, and then switch gears into looking at it from the outside in. How would you talk a friend through the problem? When you are less “emotionally tied” to something you increase your ability to think and act practically and rationally. #2 ask for help in finding a solution - asking for help isn’t a hot topic, and I think even more so when what we face is something we tie to a "struggle" or "inadequacy". Often times a third party, the advice of a friend, or talking to someone who may have faced the same issues can help us make a plan for dealing with the challenge we are facing, or even better understanding how we feel about the situation. Do you ever get worked up about something, and start venting to someone just to realize the "massive issues" really wasn't that big of a deal, or the solution comes out in the process of explaining it? Try talking it out, and see if you can gain some insight on how to approach it. #3 dissect the problem - look at it from all angles, what is the real problem? Figure out what's really going on, what the issues are, and what you are up against. Then after you're are more clear on what areas it is effecting you can figure out how to work backward to untangle the mess. Often, if we are only looking at the issues we fail to see the process of fixing it, or what areas we actually need to pay attention to and modify. #4 stay in tune with your feelings - walking through these steps can invite the emotional overwhelm to come back in and fog up our plan to navigate through the challenge. If you start being led by frustration, anger, overwhelm, or sadness, give yourself a time out until you can follow through with staying objective and keeping a level headed perspective. Journaling and self reflection time can be helpful in staying in tune with your emotional state, as can investing daily in things that "fill your cup." #5 commit yourself to finding a solution - facing challenges in life is all a part of growing and living. Although the easiest way to move around chall

Today’s podcast is going to be about shifting gears and perspectives as I sit down in our backyard with my partner, and better half Steven Dahn. This show is a little more off the cuff, and carries some great food for thought. I wanted to cover a few topics that are very important and commonly over looked or over thought. Steven has a long history of working with woman of all ages and has a very unique male perspective of some of the struggles we face as women. We cover: •How women tend to spread our “bandwidth” a bit thin and leave ourselves as last on the list. •Advice for the fellas on how to “listen to your lady” instead of trying to fix all her problems. •The trouble of not asking for help and the power that comes along with being a little vulnerable by asking for help. •Having too much skin in the game and forgetting about our to do list and checking in with what really fills our cup. With the sun shining and a cool spring breeze, Steven and I talk about all the unwritten and often unseen responsibilities of busy women and how we need to focus on taking over the world with some help rather than trying to do it alone.

Have you ever walked into an archery shop in need of new gear and been intimidated by what to choose? I know I have and for every one piece of gear you need there are so many options- it can easily make your head spin. In today’s episode I sit down with Sarah Laughter at the Western Hunt Expo in Salt Lake City to talk about choosing arrows, finding what works for you, growing up hunting, the Total Archery Challenge, and our favorite SITKA women’s pieces. Sarah is a long time hunter and still spends Fall in the mountains hunting along side her family. From hunting big game in Utah, to exotics in Texas, this girl get's it done. Sarah is immersed in the hunting world, works for Easton Archery HQ in Utah, and understands how choosing arrows can be intimidating, especially for a new archers. Growing up with only hand-me-downs, Sarah and I can definitely relate - always fighting too big, too baggy, bunched up, and never comfortable. SITKA listened to the needs and feedback of women in the field, and stepped up to tackle a solid, functional, and kick ass women’s camo line. From waterfowl to big game SITKA has us covered. We touch on several topics in this episode and I hope you find nuggets of helpful information, and confidence to make the beat decisions for your next hunt.

On Episode 4 of the Her Inspired Journey Podcast I sit down and chat with Dayna Monroe about just that - finding her way, becoming a hunter, and learning to love herself through it all. "One of the most important things I've learned as a woman is to embrace what you are, and love who you are. The world will tell you that you need to change something to be loved or accepted, but that's not the case. Women are phenomenal, strong human beings that can conquer anything! Don't apologize for what you enjoy in life either. We are all queens and we need to lift each other up instead of tearing down one another. Love!" Dayna grew up in a family that hunted but outside of her love for being outside she never really got the "hunting bug", until much later in life. As young men and women growing up we all have the opportunity to be exposed to different aspects of life - some of those things we learn to love, and others, well, just fall off the radar. Years later, after watching her family and friends hunt and not sharing the same passion for it Dayna has circled back around and now lives and breathes for archery hunting. On this episode we share success and failures along the way, and get to hear more of her journey for providing organic wild game to live a healthier and happier life. Having recently made the biggest move of her life, from her home town of Monroe, Utah to Colorado she is beginning a new journey and finding her way. Dayna works at KIFARU International as an intricate part of the team, and is always doing her best to help men and women prepare for their next adventure. You can also find Dayna in the heat of competition enjoying Alpha Bowhunting competitions, or pushing herself up "fire road" for a good sweat before she begins her day. I loved Daynas response when I asked her, "what do you wish you could go back and tell your younger self?" She said, "If I could give my younger self some advice it would be to do more hard things. I loved challenging myself physically, but I always struggled with getting out of my shell. I was so shy! Looking back it really limited me on the experiences I could have had." No matter what part of the journey you are on right now it is time to take your next challenge head on and fall in love with your life. You can find Dayna on Instagram: @dayna_monroe or @kifar_intl & Facebook: Dayna Monroe you can see more of KIFARU International here. Time to let those "big ideas" come to life!
