Baby number 4 🐄 ❤️

#wyominglife #dirtroadlife ...

Isolation in Wyoming is a real thing.

And multigenerational households full of women sharing their stories are rare.

So I began PrairieWifeInHeels.com with the basic idea of offering the support that had been missing for me to others.

I knew that if I publicly shared the ups and downs of my life, the whole truth and nothing but the truth, I could give other women a chance to say…

“Because you did it, I knew I could too.”

I talked about being a hunting widow, sleepless nights nursing fussy baby number 5 by the light of the moon, my struggles with depression, and even my decision to have a preventive mastectomy…pictures of my carved flat stitched up chest and all.

And I have hundreds of emails and messages saying, “Because you did it, I knew I could too.”

I wept as I typed out the story of my three miscarriages.

I laughed as I wrote about how my toddler had covered an entire wall and herself with a permanent marker.

I’ve shared the struggles of parenting two teenagers in this tech-infused world full of totally unpredictable dangers.

“Because you did it, I knew I could too.”

Two weeks ago, I announced on my radio show to thousands of listeners that I was walking away from a job I loved. I was saying goodbye to 4 and a half years on an award-winning radio show that has been one of the best things I’ve done in my life…to have more time with my family…and to focus on building the brand I began on my kitchen counter nine years ago.

I cried on air as I made the announcement and the last thing I ever said on the show will forever be “thank you,” squeaked out between gasps and tears.

But you know what happened?

For the last week, my email and messages have been filled with “because you did it, I knew I could too.”

And as I stand in front of all of you, I want you to know that without a doubt, each and every one of you is someone’s “because you did it, I knew I could too.”
