Ep. 52 - Interview: Monica Ramsey Pt. 1
RHoMies! I am so excited to share part 1 of my chat with an OG Real Housewife of Moto -- Mrs. Monica Ramsey!! Monica is one half of the fabulous In Her Lane Podcast, married to Nate Ramsey (also an OG!), a mama to 2 kiddos, and a freaking nurse! Gosh she a baddy! We talk about her journey into moto, falling for nate, and our shared love of amplifying women's voices in the sport. She discusses her personal experiences, the evolution of motocross culture, and the importance of community and storytelling. Monica shares her journey from a motocross wife to a dedicated ER nurse, highlighting the challenges and triumphs of balancing a racing family with a career. She offers invaluable insights into industry injuries, the importance of self-reliance, and the future of women in motocross. You can find Monica and Hannah at @InHerLane_Podcast where they have dropped some KILLER longform podcast with the likes of Courtney Roczen, Ellie Reed, and Paige Craig.
