Let's jump right into the Her Inspired Journey Podcast "why".
Navigating life can be a never ending journey to find yourself and learn who you are. On todays episode host Courtney LeVesque talks about creating the Her Inspired Journey Podcast and how she came to be the woman she is today.
The struggles and experiences life throws at you molds you into exactly who you are supposed to be - it's time to embrace who you are and set yourself on the right path to start truly loving your life.
She leaves this episode short and sweet and invites you to join her on the Her Inspired Journey mission of building relationships, educating, regaining fitness, understanding how to live your best life, and more!
Have you ever walked into an archery shop in need of new gear and been intimidated by what to choose? I know I have and for every one piece of gear you need there are so many options- it can easily make your head spin.
In today’s episode I sit down with Sarah Laughter at the Western Hunt Expo in Salt Lake City to talk about choosing arrows, finding what works for you, growing up hunting, the Total Archery Challenge, and our favorite SITKA women’s pieces.
Sarah is a long time hunter and still spends Fall in the mountains hunting along side her family. From hunting big game in Utah, to exotics in Texas, this girl get's it done. Sarah is immersed in the hunting world, works for Easton Archery HQ in Utah, and understands how choosing arrows can be intimidating, especially for a new archers.
Growing up with only hand-me-downs, Sarah and I can definitely relate - always fighting too big, too baggy, bunched up, and never comfortable. SITKA listened to the needs and feedback of women in the field, and stepped up to tackle a solid, functional, and kick ass women’s camo line. From waterfowl to big game SITKA has us covered.
We touch on several topics in this episode and I hope you find nuggets of helpful information, and confidence to make the beat decisions for your next hunt.

From Archery Camp To Her First Archery Bull - Building Confidence with Paisley Wortman
Season 4 · Episode 101
Wednesday, October 26, 2022 • Duration 01:04:11
If you enjoy elk hunting then we have another guest you’ll love. In this episode of the Soul Summit Podcast, I sit down with a rad young woman from Prince of Wales island who now calls Oregon home.
After meeting Paisley at my women’s Archery Camp early in 2022, I quickly became a fan of her hard working spirit, willingness to invest in herself, and the discipline she leans into to reach her goals!
Not only do we get to hear Paisley tell the story behind her very first archery elk that happened just months after attending our Archery Camps, but we also get to hear how she has rebuilt confidence in herself.
Seeing Paisley and other women from this year's camps form new friendships, make plans, and stay connected after this summer's events is such a treat for me and keeps me inspired to host more life changing women’s events!
Tune in and soak up the positive vibes from Paisley Wortman!

Using the Outdoors to Build Your Confidence
Season 4 · Episode 103
Friday, November 18, 2022 • Duration 56:02
I remember back when I would never hike, hunt, or camp solo. Now, I crave it! And you can too!
Getting out and exploring by yourself, especially as a female, can be intimidating!
Over the years I’ve talked to hundreds of women who would agree. In fact, one of the #1 things I hear is that ladies aren’t confident enough to hike, run, walk, camp, hunt, etc. by themselves!
To each of us, building confidence looks different, but here are a few tips that helped give me the boost I needed to do things solo.
Small - short or close to home adventures.
Plan - go when you have plenty of daylight, good weather, know your route. Especially important to know where you’re going if you will be in areas without service.
Prepare - take a pack with essentials, communication device, water, and sidearm (or some kind of pepper spray).
Awareness - pay attention to where you are, be present, and don’t let yourself get distracted. Also, limit using earbuds or headphones so that you can stay in tune with your surroundings.
Communicate - always let SOMEONE know where you are heading and when you’ll be back (and stick to that plan).
Trust - listen to your instincts and trust your gut without giving into fear.
Companion - take your favorite 4 legged friend or invite someone to come along. Maybe starting with a friend or two will be your gateway into more time outdoors!

This breath of fresh air is coming to you from one of the most inspiring, uplifting, and powerful women I know. Listen in as Jules McQueen, and I chat about her biggest passions, her role as President of CarbonTV, her 20 years in TV and media production, and how she finds more peace as she gets older.
Julie shares how learning to unplug has allowed her to find more joy in the day-to-day moments and how she embraces her unapologetic desire to step away from the demands of life and technology.
As a business tycoon, you can imagine Jule's everyday life is in full swing with a laundry list of things that need her. However, her focus remains on balancing the yin and yang of tapped in and out.
