Season 3, Episode 8 - She Stopped Making Herself Small

Season 3, Episode 12 - (Finale) - The Living is the Reason

My mama always told me we were put on this earth for a reason. For years, I wondered what that reason was. Maybe you've wondered the same thing. In the Season 3 finale of Cowboy Logic, I reflect on the lessons life has taught me through loss, resilience, family, and hope. From childhood memories to the people and moments that shaped me, this episode is a reminder that we don't always have to know why we're here. Sometimes the answer is simpler. The living is the reason. Thank you for joining me for Season 3. Your support, your messages, and your time have meant more than you know.

Season 3, Episode 11 - It Takes A Herd

I used to think writing a book was a solitary journey. Over time, I realized how many people became part of mine. In this episode of Cowboy Logic, I reflect on the people who have walked beside me throughout my writing journey—family, beta readers, ARC readers, fellow authors, reviewers, and readers who may never realize the difference they've made. Sometimes the encouragement we need arrives at exactly the right moment. A thoughtful review. A kind message. A comment from someone who connected with a story. Those small acts of kindness remind us that we're not as alone as we sometimes feel. This episode is about community, gratitude, and the people who become our herd—even if we've never met them in person. If you've ever been encouraged by someone at just the right time, or if you've ever wondered whether your support really matters, this episode is for you. If you enjoy heartfelt storytelling, resilience, community, and stories that remind you of the power of kindness, pull up a chair and ride along.

Season 3, Episode 10 - You Can't Leave the Mountains - They Come with You

Some places never really leave you. I grew up in the mountains of West Virginia, surrounded by misty mornings, flowing rivers, fireflies, and the kind of quiet that settles deep into your soul. Though I've spent decades building a life in Calgary, Alberta, I eventually realized something I never expected. Home isn't just where you come from. It's the values your family gave you, the memories that shaped you, and the pieces of yourself you carry no matter how far life takes you. In this episode of Cowboy Logic, I share what growing up in the mountains taught me, why those lessons have stayed with me, and how sometimes we spend years looking for where we belong, only to realize we've been carrying it with us all along. This episode is for anyone who has ever missed home, wondered where they truly belong, or discovered that the places we love never really leave us. If you enjoy heartfelt storytelling, resilience, finding hope through life's changes, and stories that remind you what really matters, pull up a chair and ride along.

Season 3, Episode 9 - Nobody Gets to Rewrite What Was Real

After my husband died, I went on forty-eight dates. Some were awkward. Some were disappointing. One man talked so much I escaped under the excuse of needing kitty litter. Another ate my dinner and walked out the door. But somewhere between the bad dates, the ghosts, and the men who couldn't stop talking about their exes, I learned something important: Other people's opinions don't get to rewrite what was real. In this episode of Cowboy Logic, I share the story of those forty-eight dates, what they taught me about self-worth, and why I refused to let strangers make me question the love, memories, and truth I shared with my husband. This episode is for anyone who has ever let rejection, criticism, or someone else's opinion make them doubt their own story. Because the people who come into your life later don't get to rewrite the chapters that helped make you who you are. If you enjoy heartfelt storytelling, resilience, healing after loss, second chances, and finding confidence in your own worth, pull up a chair and ride along.

Season 3, Episode 8 - She Stopped Making Herself Small

In my senior yearbook, I was voted the shyest girl in school. At the time, it felt true. Growing up poor taught me to stay quiet, stay in the background, and never draw too much attention to myself. What started as a way to survive eventually became a habit. Then a personality. Then a life. In this episode of Cowboy Logic, I'm sharing the story of how writing books helped me find my voice, why success didn't magically erase self-doubt, and the quiet realization that finally changed the way I see myself. This episode is for anyone who has ever felt invisible, questioned their worth, or spent years shrinking themselves to make other people comfortable. Because making yourself small might keep you safe. But it can also keep you from becoming who you were meant to be. If you enjoy heartfelt storytelling, reflections on resilience, self-worth, second chances, and finding the courage to take up space in your own life, pull up a chair and ride along.
