No More 'Good Girl'

Think about trying to get work done with kids at home. You may have a designated space where you can go and close the door, but if you have littles at home, you know you can't shut mom-brain off if no one is out there watching them right?  You're constantly listening for the pantry door or little footsteps running through the house. You can't dive all in on a project you're working on because you...

Wait, working from home isn't Netflix binging all the afternoon, chilling on the couch with a laptop + playing games with the kids all day? Say whaaatt?   I used to think that when you owned your own business and worked from home, you could pretty much do what you wanted, but I am here to tell you that certainly isn't the case.  Working from home is balancing schedules, many interruptions, and it...

Now in our house this term used to mean exactly what it says, but today we're going to talk about this metaphorically speaking because many of us mamas out there have husbands that travel for work or plan that yearly outing with the guys… you know what I'm talking about? Well, back at the house it becomes survival of the housewife with all the kids right? By day two all nerve-endings are fried + a...

Have you ever heard the quote, "change your story, change your life" or "change your emotional state, change your life?"  I first heard this from Tony Robbins while listening to some motivational videos on YouTube and it hit me hard.  What is the story we tell ourselves about who we are? What emotions do you choose to sit in daily?  Changing your emotional state, a lot of other changes must take p...

Oh boy! I don't know why I hopped on this train but we are taking things in a different direction today. I wanted to talk about Dustin and I's relationship and our marriage. Disclaimer: I am not a therapist, a physcologist, or a marriage counselor! I just wanted to share with you guys my story and how we got to where we are today because it has to go along with a lot of mindset and shifting toward...

We are talking about all things mindset! This is something that I have decided to do in 2021 and I am taking massive actions to accomplish this goal. I just want to talk about leveling up our mindset and some steps that we can take to do that. Did you know, we are on autopilot 45% of our day? This is because we are all in a habit loop.  Habit loops are things that we subconsciously complete during...

I have had to make a lot of big changes this year and one of those changes is shifting your mindset. If you want different results then you have to start taking different actions. Sure the actions that we have taken so far in our lives have gotten us to where we are but, if you are not happy with where you are, you have got to make some massive changes and take action because if you don't you will...

People come and go in our lives and its up to us to decide what we are going to do with that.  We are there to help each other whether it be good or bad. We learn the things we may not want to repeat as well as things we want to take with us moving forward.  This Halloween party changed the trajectory of our plans because I won't lie, we were losing steam! We had exhausted what we thought to be al...

  Back to square one friends…. It sucks. Although a great wave of relief washed over me in my decision to let the first shop go, I also knew it was back to the drawing board.  We had researched and called so many places, but due to Covid, a lot weren't able to help us.  We tried to recruit some help from our local business development office within the chamber and that was a complete strike out as...

Sometimes it's easy to get caught up in the excitement of building a dream that you want to jump on the first shop, opportunity or whatever it may be that comes your way.  I'll be the first to tell you that I was on that train in the beginning because going through the year we had, it was so hard to find anyone that was open let alone wanting to deal with a start-up.  So, I jumped on the first sho...

It is my firm belief that no business is successful or can scale the way that we want to without some help.  I used to wonder how on earth business owners "did it all" until I came to realize that just wasn't the case and they actually weren't doing it all on their own.  I've listened to a lot of Brendon Burchard's classes and he always talks about building a team now that you are going to need la...

After the frustrating weekend on last week's episode, it was time to get to work. We decided to move forward with our product idea and it was time to get it on paper.  This is where our designer, Lindsey comes in. She has done work for me before in my photography business and she has the ability to listen to what I am saying and draw it up.  We knew this is what we needed to be able to take it to...

Boy oh boy when we set off on this camping trip did we learn a thing or two!  The first thing we learned was to never buy a trailer the day before you plan to leave especially if you are as OCD about cleanliness as I am.  Second thing, make a list + check it twice. Nope, this isn't just for Santa! It's for everything because when you don't make a a list and you don't check it twice, many things ge...

As a Houndsman, we don't need to be hidden or sneak around on the mountain while chasing game. Sometimes wearing camo makes us feel like hillbillies yipping and yee hawing around on the mountain after a pack of dogs.    The truth is, we're real people that enjoy nature and our dogs are a part of the fam! Also, I'm not as diehard as the hubs so I wanted something that I looked good in that was also...

We were a family that set off on a hunting journey years ago. In 2019 we decided to begin documenting our journey on Instagram, but as we began braving the mountains together as a family, frustration set in.  It was painful trying to find clothing that we could all wear + stand behind... especially for kids! We piece-mealed outfits together from some of the companies that we have always loved, but...

This week I'm talking about all the steps I have taken to have success in my business in 2021! I knew I needed to make BIG changes + I knew I needed help. I wanted to broaden my businesses, but I was afraid to take the leap. I knew I was willing to do the work and what I needed to do but I needed someone to push me in the right direction. So I hired a business coach, and it has been the first best...

Today's episode is all about mindset! I will talk about how it is vital to become aware of your thoughts, reframe your thoughts and set your intention. I will also explain why it is important to recognize why you may think of something a certain way and teach you how to reframe your thinking to reach your goals. The intention that I chose for myself this year was wealth in all aspects of my life....

I like to start from the beginning to help you understand how we got to where we are today. A lot of mindset shifts had to take place to get us to a point not only in our relationship but as people to be able to build a business we'd been dreaming of.  This episode gives a very brief background on our story and why we decided to start The Hunting Fam on Instagram as well as ColdStrike.  Thanks so...
