On our 12th and last episode of season 1 of Big Girl Britches, we’re pulling back the curtain with our very own behind-the-scenes queen, Airel McGee. While you may know her as the creative force behind all things media and marketing for Dear Me and Just a Girl, there’s so much more to her story.
We dive deep into her journey from boutique ownership with the beloved (and now retired) Nothin’ Fancy to where she is now—walking in purpose, chasing peace, and using her gifts to shine a light for others. Airel opens up about the challenges of running a business, the emotional toll it took, and how she’s healing through faith, friendship, and finding joy in the little things.
We also talk motherhood, mental health, and the pressure to be “on” when your heart feels off. This conversation is raw, real, and full of reminders that you can rise even after a fall. And most importantly? That leading a meaningful life starts right where you are—with intention, with humility, and with a whole lot of grace.
We'll get back in the studio in July after Lacie moves her business just down the road - be sure to visit Twisted Shears Salon!
