I have to thank my brother-in-law Brent Scott for this episode. He introduced me to this week's guest, Glenda Curving. She was a joy to chat with and I hope to meet her out at Tellico sometime soon! This is what Brent wrote of Glenda: Four years ago I took my son to the Tellico River for the first time. We pulled up to a campsite and ask a nice lady if the spot next to her was open. That was one of the luckiest things that's happened to us. She said it was and helped us get set up. That lady was...

Welcome to this week's episode, all about the "Girls Trip" I went on with Jen Ripple from DUN Magazine and Outdoor Girl Cheryl Smith. It was a whirlwind of a trip, but so incredibly worth it! I drove two hours from Nashville up to Land Between the Lakes to meet up with Jen on an early Monday morning. We loaded up the truck and continued our trek north 8.5 hours to Port Clinton, OH. In retrospect, we wondered why we didn't just fly up, but I'm glad we didn't. I haven't laughed so hard in a long t...

This week we're going to get pretty deep. I've personally been on a spiritual awaking journey recently. I think the pandemic and all the other things going on in the world right now have caused a lot of us to look for answers. I've been going down this path for about a year and recent events have helped to escalate my search for truth which has led to an expansion of awareness. Out of the blue, Captain Debbie Hanson who was featured on Episode 140 of the show reached out to me and recommended I ...

Joe Frohnhoefer, their mission is to bring attention to the number of preventable boating-related injuries, deaths, and damage to property, that directly addresses prevention methods through e...

Don't you love it when everything just comes together? I found myself in a jam recently when I suddenly realized I didn't have any more episodes in the can for the next show. I've got an extensive list of possible guests that is ever-growing. So, I pulled it up and started going through it. Kate Field immediately popped out to me.

It's always fun getting a chance to be featured on other podcasts. Last July I had a fun opportunity to be a guest on the Tennessee Wildlife Resources Agency's show called Wildcast.

This past February I had the opportunity to attend the Catfish Conference in Louisville, KY. This was my first time, and I couldn't believe the turnout.

I got to sneak in a quick chat with my guest today on this week's episode of The Woman Angler & Adventurer, Amy Hansen from Whisker Seeker tackle. Though, she and her husband Troy were absolutely slammed workin...
