This week, we’re getting a little witchy! We welcome Emily Reuschel, host of Wild & Waking, for an unfiltered conversation about finding your own version of spirituality and letting go of the expectations placed on women, especially in agriculture. Emily shares her journey from checking all the achievement boxes to realizing she wanted something entirely different. We dive into religion, personal growth, and the freedom to change your mind. Plus, there's talk of poop, moon water, psychic mediums, and Emily’s witchy retreat that has us ready to pack our bags. As always, it's equal parts deep conversation, inappropriate humor, and the kind of chaos only we can deliver.

We know comparison is the thief of joy, but sometimes you just can't help but be a little jealous of others! This week, we’re talking about the people we’re jealous of and quickly realize it's often not the person we’re actually envious of, but their habits, confidence, or qualities we wish we had ourselves. We also look back at things we used to be jealous of and realize maybe the grass wasn't actually greener after all. Courtney also shares a Farm Girl Confession that is a solid parenting hack, while Annaliese's latest witchy experiment comes with some unfortunate digestive consequences. Plus, we get an unexpected education on the secret world of pinky rings, talk about getting older, and a panic-filled Facebook Live that Courtney will probably be thinking about for the rest of her life. As always, this episode is hilarious and, somehow, insightful along the way!

Call the Farm Girls old-fashioned, but there are a few things they think the world could live without. Annaliese and Courtney are airing their grievances about everything from technology and AI-generated flyers, to invisible money and giant shipping boxes. They also share submissions from other farm girls on how this world could be a little more old-fashioned. Also, surprise! Jomo returns with another Farm Girl Confession involving boots on the ground journalism of a poop story in progress. Annaliese introduces us to Steve and a money app she's trying with her kids. While Courtney dives into beef imports and current true crime. While it turns out the Farm Girls may want to live off-grid in the woods, they still appreciate some modern-day convenience!

This week, we're playing Never Have I Ever! From keeping receipts for future ammunition and sending almost nudes to eating actual glass and staying with terrible boyfriends too long, we share all. You’ll definitely find yourself playing along! Things take a woo-y turn when Annaliese shares her recent intuitive reading and a pretty wild hummingbird coincidence, while Courtney opens up about the signs she's experienced since losing her grandpa. We also answer a Farm Girl Confession about making extra income in agriculture, share some side hustle ideas, and Courtney raises awareness about the proposed 765,000-volt transmission line through southern Wisconsin farmland and why landowners need to pay attention.

This week, we’re keeping it in the family and welcoming Courtney’s sister, Kristina, for a Farm Girls Unfiltered episode! We’re taking a trip down memory lane with stories of growing up as sisters, questionable childhood business ventures, and plenty of sibling shenanigans. Kristina also shares what it’s like being a corporate girly, balancing work and motherhood, and why being willing to do things scared and be just “okay” at something can take you pretty far. We also talk about fundraising for Bike MS, and why the cause is so important to Courtney and Kristina’s family. Of course, things eventually go off the rails with workplace bathroom etiquette and the realities of pooping as a corporate girly. There’s no doubt you’ll laugh when we get into things we just don’t care about! This episode is for sure unfiltered and relatable!

This week we’re talking about getting kids excited about agriculture. From 4-H projects and livestock shows to gardens, pasture checks, and letting kids tag along for all parts of farm life, we’re sharing simple ways to get them involved. It might take a little extra patience, but giving kids responsibility, teaching them the “why,” and letting them feel like an important part of the operation can help grow an appreciation for agriculture that sticks with them. Of course, raising farm kids also means answering some interesting questions. We’re talking semen tanks on the doorstep, explaining periods with farm-friendly terminology, nipples versus “nibbles,” and the things kids probably shouldn’t repeat in public. As usual, the episode turns hilarious as Courtney tells us how she ended up peeing outside Lambeau Field and Annaliese shares about her new buddy, Rick. It’s a wild ride, don’t miss the fun!

Welcome back to another Farm Girls Unfiltered, where we sit down with fellow farm girls for honest conversations about business, life, and everything in between. This week we’re joined by Caitlin Schwandt, entrepreneur, educator, and founder of Wisco Cowgirl Co. Caitlin shares how a simple idea turned into a thriving mobile bar business, why she chose to sell it to prioritize family, and how that decision led her to build a new Midwest-inspired apparel brand. The conversation is packed with reminders that it's okay to pivot, collaborate instead of compete, and chase the ideas you can't stop thinking about. Of course, it wouldn't be right without plenty of laughs along the way. From Courtney's magnet-selling business that never quite took off, to Annaliese's childhood babysitter kits, to Caitlin's unforgettable vomiting story, this episode is unfiltered, indeed! Grab a drink and settle in for an inspiring conversation about grit, creativity, friendship, and having the courage to just go for it.

We’re still celebrating 100 episodes this week! This episode is a continuation of last week’s, and we're diving back into the listeners' questions, confessions, and hilarious voice messages we were sent. We're playing a farm-themed game of "Would You Rather," talking farm stands, wellness trends, embarrassing poop moments, and the realities of life on and off the farm. Along the way, we talk about why we're so proud of this podcast community, what it feels like to finally build something that pays off, and why sometimes the best advice is simply to stop worrying so much about what everyone else thinks. As always, the conversations wander in the best way possible, ending with Courtney accidentally creating what might just be her next business venture.

We couldn't think of a better way to celebrate this milestone than by handing you the microphone. In this special 100th episode, we're answering your biggest questions and listening to your voicemails as we look back on how this podcast got started, the highs (and lows) of creating content, hosting live shows, building an online community, and sticking with something even when it's scary. This conversation was just too good to fit into one episode, so we're turning our 100th celebration into a two-part series!

This week, we are reminding ourselves, and all of you, to be a little kinder to the person staring back in the mirror. Why is it so easy to encourage our friends while being our own toughest critics? We dive into the guilt, perfectionism, and impossible standards so many women, moms, and farmers put on themselves. From skipped workouts and too much screen time to unfinished to-do lists, they share honest stories about the pressure to always be doing more and why giving yourself grace isn't always as easy as it sounds. Later, we answer a listener's question about entrepreneurial burnout and offer advice on navigating the highs and lows of building a business. We also swap stories about accidentally sharing a toothbrush, creepy Facebook Marketplace pickups, and an upcoming trip to New York City. As always, expect plenty of laughs, relatable moments, and a reminder that you're doing better than you think.

This is the very first episode in a new series called “Farm Girls Unfiltered”! We’re kicking things off with a special guest who knows Annaliese better than just about anyone: her sister, Mikayla McGee of Jon-De Farm. From growing up on a dairy farm together to raising their own kids, the sisters share hilarious childhood stories, talk about what it's really like working in agriculture, and discuss how Mikayla went from farm kid to managing her family's fifth-generation dairy operation. Mikayla also shares her adoption journey as she opens up about building her family, the realities behind the process, and why she hopes people will have more compassion for birth mothers. Of course, it wouldn't be a Farm Girls episode without plenty of laughs along the way, including chaotic stories about goats, caffeine addiction, and a memorable poop confession to wrap things up!

This week, we’re sharing the things farm girls just know that everyone else probably should. From canceled holiday plans and surprise calf deliveries to ruined shoes, chipped nails, and learning that "real quick" is never actually real quick on a farm. We break down the realities of rural life that don't always make it into the brochures. Whether you're new to agriculture, married to a farmer, or have spent your whole life in the industry, you'll probably find yourself nodding along to more than a few of these lessons. The conversation also covers why farm communities are unlike any other, the value of knowing where your food comes from, and the appreciation that comes with raising livestock. As always, it's equal parts practical advice, rural wisdom, and a lot of fun!

Father's Day is here, and we’re taking a trip down memory lane to celebrate the dads who helped shape us into who we are today. From Todd-isms to wilderness camping adventures, missing truck floorboards, candy cigarettes, and the classic "walk it off" parenting style, we share some of our favorite memories growing up with our larger-than-life dads. We also read listener-submitted dad stories, discuss the traits we've inherited from our fathers, and compare notes on the dad habits our husbands have adopted. Later, the conversation takes a turn into conspiracy theories, tick bites, burnout, moo-moos, dairy-themed pajamas, and a few things that made us say, "What the hell?" this week. As always, it's equal parts heartfelt, hilarious, and a smidge unhinged.

This week, we’re tackling a very important question: Is it weird? From making friends with wild animals and eating leftover pasta for breakfast to peeing in the shower, nothing is off limits. We compare quirks, habits, and questionable life choices while deciding whether they're normal, Midwest, rural, or completely feral. We also dive into farm life realities, potatoes and cannibalism, vasectomy horror stories that unlocked a brand-new fear, and the challenges of dealing with difficult personalities, whether they're eight-year-olds or grown adults. Equal parts funny and relatable, this episode will have you questioning your own weird habits by the end!

This week, we’re talking about something a lot of us struggle with: being your own biggest cheerleader. Whether it’s promoting your business, asking for opportunities, pitching yourself to brands, or finally sharing that project you’ve been sitting on for years, sometimes the hardest part is believing in yourself enough to put yourself out there. We talk about why confidence is not arrogance, how closed mouths don’t get fed, and why nobody is going to magically discover your talents if you never talk about them. Annaliese also shares behind-the-scenes stories from launching her book, reaching out to media, and throwing herself a full-on book release party complete with a balloon arch. Of course, the conversation eventually turns into classic Farm Girls chaos with AOL screen names that absolutely should not have existed, period horror stories after getting off birth control, and moon water witchery. This episode is motivational, filled with fun, and a reminder that sometimes the best thing you can do is believe in yourself first.
