Unfiltered, honest conversations about the realities of rodeo life from a perspective not often considered. Spouses, parents, and children of rodeo's most well known, and successful athletes join me to share a raw look at what it's really like balancing careers, home life, and relationships while their loved ones are out chasing world championship dreams.
Today, I am joined by the vibrant Kara Dougherty for a captivating journey through rodeo life and beyond. From Kara's upbringing in small-town California, steeped in cowboy culture, to her whirlwind romance with Chase, a rodeo cowboy, every moment is filled with adventure and heart.
Our conversation delves into Kara's internship at the Calgary Stampede, where she found herself packing ice packs for rodeo participants and stumbling into unforgettable nights of spontaneity and chance encounters. But it's Kara's love story with Chase, blossoming amidst the dust and thrills of the rodeo arena, that truly captivates. From missed connections to beach dates, their journey to finding love is as wild as any rodeo ride.
As a mother and entrepreneur, Kara balances the demands of business ownership with the joys of parenthood, infusing her passion for vintage fashion into her resale store, Secondhand Sorrel. Through it all, Kara's infectious enthusiasm and unwavering spirit remind us of the power of love, laughter, and finding joy in life's wild and unexpected moments. Join us!
