Chelsea Hansler on Bear Hunting, Hounds and Women's Retreats

Sisterhood of the Hunt with Laurel + Jaycey

EP 64: There’s a narrative out there that hunting is something you have to be born into… that if you didn’t grow up in it, it’s not for you. But today’s guests are breaking that wide open. They’re creating a space where women can show up exactly as they are—no experience, no background—and leave stronger, more confident, and fully capable of doing hard things. Today’s episode is about women who refuse to sit on the sidelines. Women who are stepping into the outdoors, into the hunt, and into who they were created to be—strong, capable, and unapologetically bold. The women behind Sisterhood of the Hunt aren’t just hosting hunts… they’re building confidence, creating opportunity, and proving that you don’t need permission to take up space in this world—you just need the courage to step into it. Please welcome, Laurel and Jaycey from Sisterhood of the Hunt!!

Susie Busta on Minnow Trapping, Fishing and Mom-ing

EP 63: Today's guest built a life around fishing and she doesn't just show up- she puts in the work, from trapping her own minnows, to really understanding what's happening on the water. We also get into what it looks like to bring her son along for all of it! How she's introducing him to fishing, minnow trapping and the outdoors in a real hands on way. Please welcome Susie Busta!!

Chelsea Hansler on Bear Hunting, Hounds and Women's Retreats

EP 62: This isn’t your typical ‘girls weekend’ energy. We’re talking discomfort, connection—and the kind of experiences that actually change you. And today, we’re also getting into a side of the outdoors that not everyone understands… bear hunting with hounds—the strategy behind building a pack, the discipline it takes to run dogs, and the split-second decisions when a bear is treed. I’m sitting down with the woman behind Whiskey Creek Retreats, a brand that’s redefining what it looks like for women to show up in the outdoors—and it all started because a retreat experience of her own changed the trajectory of her life. Chelsea Hansler—let’s get into it. Connect with Chelsea: @chelseahanslerart @whiskeycreekretreats Connect with Victoria: @shegoesbeyondtheeight

Sara Ganache on Trad Hunting + Choosing the Road Less Traveled

EP 61: Some people hunt... others, chase the hardest version of it. Today's guest is the woman behind PNW Huntress- an entrepreneur, a leader, someone who's always asking "what' s next". While most stick to the compound bow, she picked up a recurve, stripped it back, made sure it was hard and that tells you everything you need to know about her. From owning multiple businesses and a butcher shop to organized hunts around the world, this girl does not choose easy, she chooses the challenge- and today we dive into that mindset!

GreeneCo on Turkeys, Women's Camo and Business

EP 60: Starting a business is hard. Starting a business in the hunting industry? Even harder. Starting a camouflage company as two women in a male-dominated space? We call that grit. Today I’m sitting down with Lori and Mary Caitlyn, the founders behind GreeneCo — a brand built by female hunters, for female hunters, with a focus on gear that actually fits us in and out of the woods. We talk about how the idea for GreeneCo was born, the scrappy early days of launching a camo company, and what it really takes to balance full-time careers, building a business, and still finding time to chase turkeys in the woods. We also get into the stories behind the hunts, the mistakes that made them better hunters, and the gear they rely on when a longbeard finally comes strutting into range. If you love hunting, entrepreneurship, and hearing how women are carving out their own space in the outdoor industry — you’re going to love this conversation. Please welcome Lori and Mary Caitlyn!
