In this special episode, I sit down on the other side of the microphone and get interviewed by psychologist Dr. Taylor Stuteville. Together, we dive deep into the experiences, values, and challenges that have shaped who I am. From growing up in Clay County, Arkansas, to standing on the Miss Teen USA stage, to finding my voice in the world of hunting and the outdoors.

During this episode, we explore how childhood foundations and pageantry instilled grit, resilience, and relentless drive; how hunting became not just a passion but a place of peace, confidence, and identity; and how faith has been a constant thread guiding my journey. Dr. Stuteville also takes us into the psychological side of growth; tackling self-doubt, pressure, and setbacks, while finding gratitude and strength along the way.

This episode goes beyond the surface. It’s about balancing legacy and authenticity, navigating adversity in the outdoors, and opening the door wider for the next generation of women in hunting. Whether you’re here for the personal stories, the psychology, or the love of the outdoors, this conversation is one of the most vulnerable and powerful I’ve shared yet.
