Cowgirl Confessions

Sharing the wonderfully wild & western life stories of cowgirls from all walks of life. We’ll talk about the highs, the lows and everything in between when it comes to navigating careers, cowboys, kids & cattle. If you’re into wet saddle blankets, talks with God, buckets full of laughter– and the life lessons learned in the process- kick off your boots and settle in. I pray these stories encourage, empower, and give you just the “leg up” you need. Here’s to embracing the COWGIRL STATE OF MIND- no matter how wild & western life may get along the way. Hosted by Dakota Dawn Johnson.

    Season 6: Ep. 96 | Building a Successful Horse Sale Business with Southern Belle Classic’s Dynamic Duo, Meredith Mobley and Tiffany Fuller

    We're thrilled to welcome back Tiffany and Meredith, the dynamic duo behind the Southern Belle Classic. As we reconnect with these inspiring entrepreneurs, they share the remarkable evolution of their elite horse sale event, showcasing a wide array of top-tier horses across various disciplines and breeds. Tiffany offers insights into the unique aspects of the event, including the handpicked consignors and the exclusive VIP auction experience. Meanwhile, Meredith provides details about the venue, Stable View in Aiken, SC, and the 2025 sale schedule, which promises a true Southern hospitality experience complete with horse previews, a ticketed dinner, and options for remote participation. We also explore the journey of building a successful horse sale business, where Tiffany and Meredith emphasize the importance of effective communication, leveraging technology, and fostering a positive mindset. By learning from setbacks and embracing change, they have created a vibrant culture around horse sales. Their approach prioritizes positivity over fear and encourages listeners to fully commit to their endeavors. - Thank you to Episode 96’s sponsors: Southern Belle Classic, The South’s Elite Horse Sale - Resources Mentioned: Cowgirl Confessions Postcards Season 5: Ep. 71 | Introducing the South’s Elite Horse Sale, Southern Belle Classic - Follow your host: INSTAGRAM: ⁠@DakotaDawnJohnson⁠ FACEBOOK: ⁠Dakota Dawn Johnson⁠ WEBSITE: ⁠https://www.dakotadawnjohnson.com/⁠ - Do you know someone that would be a great fit for the show?

    Season 5: Ep. 91 | Calf Scramble at the Candlelight Christmas Service

    In this episode, I recount a memorable Candlelight Christmas service from two years ago, where chaos and laughter intertwined, turning what seemed like a stressful evening into a cherished memory. My lively son's antics not only brought unexpected amusement to the congregation but also provided comfort to a woman during a tough time, reminding me how unplanned moments can touch others in ways we never anticipate. These reflections are an invitation for you to ponder your own holiday experiences and consider how your family traditions, no matter how chaotic, may have left a lasting impact on others. It's a celebration of the wonderfully wild and Western lifestyle we lead, filled with courage, independence, and a hefty dose of humor. Thank you for being part of the Cowgirl Confessions community. May your holiday season be as joyful and unpredictable as the calf scramble at the candlelight Christmas service.  - Thank you to Episode 91’s sponsors: High Call Outfitters - Follow your host: INSTAGRAM: ⁠@DakotaDawnJohnson⁠ FACEBOOK: ⁠Dakota Dawn Johnson⁠ WEBSITE: ⁠https://www.dakotadawnjohnson.com/⁠ - Do you know someone that would be a great fit for the show?

    Season 5: Ep. 90 | Navigating Motherhood and Grief: Embracing Joy and Healing

    Grief and joy often walk hand in hand, as I learned during my first pregnancy. Struggling with the unexpected loss of my mother, I found myself unable to capture the happy moments of that time, weighed down by sadness and guilt. In this episode, I open up about how these moments shaped my journey through grief, the importance of processing emotions, and the critical need for dependence on Jesus Christ, even when life demands gratitude and happiness. As we approach the holiday season, I reflect on the significance of preserving memories through photographs, a task I've allowed grief to steal but now passionately pursue. If we share this experience, know you are not alone and that God will meet you in your messiest moments.  - Thank you to Episode 90’s sponsors: Cowgirls Over Coffee - Follow your host: INSTAGRAM: ⁠@DakotaDawnJohnson⁠ FACEBOOK: ⁠Dakota Dawn Johnson⁠ WEBSITE: ⁠https://www.dakotadawnjohnson.com/⁠ - Do you know someone that would be a great fit for the show?
