You’ve seen this dynamic duo before, but never quite like this! Natalie (@nataliekovarik) and Tara (@taravanderdussen) join us on the show this week to give us a heaping dose of encouragement to pursue the big things that are on our hearts.  On this episode, Natalie and Tara teach us how to start sharing our own story, ag or otherwise, with our community (whoever that may be!) AND how to make the most of what we believe we are called to do.  This episode is for you if: ☝️ You have a great message or story to share but you’re not sure where to start. ✌️ You are currently using social media and other platforms to share your message BUT you want to learn how to do it more effectively (and monetize it!) Or three (and our personal favorite) you’re feeling called to more. There’s a tug on your heart to something big. There’s a feeling in your gut that you are capable of contributing more to this world and you’re missing out if you don’t take a leap.  Let the four of us give you the encouragement, truth, and tips you need to take your next step.  Y’all meet us on the front porch!

Lydia Kyle joins us on the show this week and this episode is FIRE 🔥  We talk about the catastrophic conditions of the wildfires in New Mexico and what happened to Lydia, her family, and the ranch when they had no choice but to evacuate.  We talk about why YOU should be prepared for something completely life-altering to happen to you (even though you think it won’t…it can and it might). We talk about what kind of insurance you need for whatever situation you may be in AND the things you absolutely must not forget to bring with you if you have to flee.  Single gals! We talk about the qualities you REALLY need in your husband when the you-know-what hits the you-know-where.  We even have a REAL talk about praying through the most difficult seasons of your life and coming to God raw with anger, spent with exhaustion, and completely desperate for change.  If you’ve never listened to our show before, make THIS your first episode with us and join the Front Porch Family 🖤 If you’re a seasoned Front Porch veteran, let us just tell you…hold on for this incredible ride or a conversation!  Thank you, Lydia!

One out of every six American women is a survivor of sexual abuse. Women in your town, women in your community, women you see on your feed, women you meet in passing. One in six. That also means that the chances are one in six of our followers/listeners can relate to Emma’s story. Today, we are releasing the episode where Emma shares her story as a survivor of sexual abuse. Emma walks us through her journey, how she was able to stand up for herself, and what her healing has looked like so far. We walk through this conversation together as we empower each other and anyone listening with TRUTH about who each of us is and who we were made to be. Abuse is never the fault of the victim but most survivors of sexual abuse blame themselves. Why is that? How can we overcome that? Emma shares her advice and honestly, it’s gold. What if this hasn’t happened to me but it’s happened to someone I know? How do I talk to them about it? Emma will walk us through this, too! How do we create a safe place for kids to talk to us about things that make them uncomfortable? Emma reaches back to her 9 year old self to give us the heartfelt answer to this question. It’s not your fault if this topic makes you uncomfortable. But we’ve got to talk about it. National Sexual Assault Hotline: 1-800-656-4673 Emma's Recommendations: 1.

Hey Front Porch Fam! This week it's just us. That's how we roll in bonus episodes and it's honestly a total blast! In this episode, we dive deep into a conversation we often have about friendships. We talk about what to do if you've always felt like "the outside friend." We talk about the term "best friend" and how it can be harmful. We talk about where to find your closest and dearest friends. We talk about how to spend your limited emotional energy. And we even talk a little bit about friend breakups (which may be the hardest kind.) Thank you for sitting with us On the Front Porch - we are so glad you're here!

Please give a HUGE Front Porch Family welcome to our sweet friend, Erika! Erika is a multi-talented and huge-hearted woman with SO much wisdom to share. Today, we’re sharing her with y’all on the newest episode of the show! In this episode we talk about building connection in small communities and how we can make our communities better. We talk about finding your people when there aren’t many to choose from and loving each other well. We talk about the feelings of isolation and loneliness that can come from living so far on the outskirts and how to recognize when your tank is running low. Erika also shares her heart for motherhood with us and isn’t shy about bringing ALL of it to the conversation - even the tough stuff. Remember, our goal with every episode is to connect to you with someone who may be going through the same thing as you or may be able to bring light to whatever season you are in right now. We believe that each and every episode is made especially for someone! If that’s you, send us a message. We love to hear how these conversations touch each heart in our Front Porch Family 💛 You can find Erika on Instagram @erikamariefitz or through this link: https://www.instagram.com/erikamariefitz/ Thoughts from a Content CreatorLet's become full-time content creators together!

Y’all we have maybe never been so excited. Okay maybe we have BUT this week we sat down On the Front Porch with our sweet friend and mentor Stephanie May Wilson @smaywilson and y’all, she is sunshine in human form. If you followed us for a while now, you know that Steph is one of our role models and virtual best friends so we wanted more than anything to share her with you, too! Steph is an author, podcaster, wife, mom (of two beautiful twin girls!), a lover of Jesus, and a lover of people. Steph uses her faith and her life experiences to minister to women in ways that are deep, meaningful, and truly relatable - all with the motto, “Be who you needed when you were younger.” In this episode, Steph talks us through some of the ways that God totally wrecked her plans and rearranged her life. She’s honest with us about the hard parts and shares how, even when it all seemed messy and confusing, God’s goodness is shining in each part of her story. This episode has gold nuggets of wisdom for each and everyone of us - but there’s a special little message for our single gals (our rural bachelorettes!) Last but not least, registration for Steph‘s course, Love Your Single Life, opens today! It’s only open this week so make sure you grab your spot! It will be linked in the show notes as well as in the stories today! Listen all the way to the end of the episode for a free gift to two of our gals 😉 We just love y’all! Thank you for listening!

The labels we use in agriculture to describe who we are and what we do are often a point of contention - especially when tradition comes into play. Today, we have Cass Johnston @casskjohn on The Front Porch with us to chat about some of the labels we use farming and ranching. This woman wears MANY hats, y’all! This conversation is meant to be helpful, not hurtful. However, we do talk about touchy subjects so give us the grace of your open heart and open mind and know that we are just 3 women with different backgrounds and from different parts of the country navigating a tough subject that we all three feel strongly needs to be talked about. You’ll be able to hear that we don’t agree on every detail BUT above all we hope that you hear the one thing we all agree on: your label does not define your value. We want this conversation to continue. Tune into the episode and send us a message with your thoughts. We can’t wait to hear from you!

Amber is back to share how the last 7 months have changed her life. This week is (on the surface) about birth, being a new mom, and adjusting to life with a little one. Even more than that, it’s about surviving change, battling body image insecurity, navigating your dynamic identity, and being brave enough to ask for help 💙 Amber, we are SO grateful for you. Thank you for sharing your heart with our Front Porch Family! Y’all go grab a glass of @oceansprayinc cranberry juice and tune in wherever you get your podcasts! Cheers!
