Cowboy Logic — Mountain girl meets cowboy country

Season 3, Episode 7 - I Said No More Cats

I said no more cats. I meant it. After losing my husband and then losing the last cat who had been with us through everything, I closed that chapter of my life. The grief was simply too much, and I promised myself I wouldn't do it again. Then I met Nakita. In this episode of Cowboy Logic, I'm sharing the story of a green-eyed cat who refused to take no for an answer, the unexpected joy she brought back into my life, and the lesson I almost missed while looking for happiness in all the wrong places. This episode is for anyone who has ever lost someone they loved, closed their heart to protect it, or wondered if joy would ever find them again. Because sometimes joy doesn't arrive in big, life-changing moments. Sometimes it waits patiently for you to stop walking past it. If you enjoy heartfelt storytelling, reflections on grief, healing, resilience, and finding hope in unexpected places, pull up a chair and ride along.

Season 3, Episode 6 - The Well of Hope

When I started writing my first novel, most people didn't think I'd finish it. Honestly, there were days I wasn't sure I would either. I was carrying more grief than I knew what to do with. My husband was gone. My parents were gone. My brother was gone. Some days it felt like I was trying to build a future while standing in the middle of the rubble of my old life. But I had one person who kept showing up. One person who read every chapter. One person who believed I could do it. In this episode of Cowboy Logic, I'm sharing the story of writing Starting Over in Montana, the cousin who never stopped believing in me, and the small well of hope that kept me going when I couldn't see the ending yet. This episode is for anyone who has ever felt overwhelmed by grief, loss, self-doubt, or the opinions of people who didn't believe in them. Because sometimes hope isn't loud. Sometimes it's just taking the next step anyway. If you enjoy heartfelt storytelling, reflections on resilience, and stories about strength, survival, and love, pull up a chair and ride along.

Season 3, Episode 5 - I Didn't Feel Well. I Went Anyway.

I’ve been sick my whole life. Not as an excuse. Not as a complaint. Just as a fact. In this episode of Cowboy Logic, I’m sharing the story of a little girl who didn’t feel well… but still wanted to go play. From childhood illnesses and chronic pain to knee braces and crossing the finish line of a 10K race, this is a story about the quiet kind of strength that doesn’t always look brave from the outside. Sometimes resilience doesn’t look loud or heroic. Sometimes it just looks like showing up anyway. This episode is for anyone carrying something invisible — chronic illness, exhaustion, grief, pain, or simply the weight of life — and still trying to keep going. Because maybe flying doesn’t always look the way we think it should. Maybe sometimes… flying just means you kept going. If you enjoy heartfelt storytelling, reflections on resilience, and stories about strength, survival, and love, pull up a chair and ride along.

Season 3, Episode 4 - She Got Real Quiet First

I was three years old when my brother made one very serious mistake… In this episode of Cowboy Logic, I’m sharing the story of Superman, a BB gun, and the moment my daddy realized exactly who his daughter was going to be. What started as a peaceful afternoon watching cartoons turned into one of my daddy’s favorite stories to tell — the one about the time I got real quiet first. This episode is about determination, knowing your own mind, and the part of ourselves we sometimes lose as we grow older — the part that knew exactly what mattered and wasn’t afraid to stand up for it. Somewhere along the way, many of us learned to be smaller. To wait. To ask permission. But maybe the strongest version of who we are is still in there… just waiting for us to remember.

Season 3, Episode 3 - She Went and Got the Wrench

I was six years old when I decided I knew better than everyone else. In this episode of Cowboy Logic, I’m sharing the story of a ten-speed bike, a clothesline, and the day I learned that determination and wisdom don’t always show up at the same time. From trying to ride a bike I had no business being on to secretly attempting to remove my own training wheels with a wrench, this episode is about stubbornness, courage, and the people who love us enough to protect us — even when we don’t understand it in the moment. I’ve spent much of my life learning when to push forward and when to trust the people trying to help me. Maybe you have too.
