Cowgirl Confessions Dakota Dawn Johnson

In this episode, I share the inspiring origin story of the Cowgirl Confessions podcast, which began with encouragement and practical help from my friend Jenna Smeek Soto. This journey later allowed me to assist Shaun Spivey in starting his podcast, The Small Town Life: Conversations from the Porch. You'll hear about the camaraderie and support within the small-town community, and I recount personal stories, including a memorable lesson from my grandmother that profoundly impacted my career. Tune in for a meaningful conversation about overcoming challenges and the power of community support.

When the world around her crumbled, Sarah Mason discovered the human spirit's resilience and the heart's boundless capacity to love again through God’s magnificent grace. From the devastating loss of her late husband, Scott, through the solitary waves of grief in the pandemic, to the joyous birth of her son via IVF, Sarah's narrative is a beacon of hope for anyone wrestling with their own life's hardships. She shares the story of meeting Isaac, a rancher from Northwest Oklahoma, through the unpredictable world of online dating—a leap of faith that brought her to a new chapter of love and laughter. As she finds her footing as a stepmother and ranch owner, her experiences resonate with the steadfast cowgirl spirit, a testament to the power of faith and the beauty that can emerge from life's most challenging moments. Sarah's openness and authenticity make this episode a touching narrative of loss, love, and the undying hope that guides us through life’s most undesirable challenges.
