125. Building Bold Community in Agriculture with Kylie Epperson
I'm so excited for this week's episode! I'm joined by Kylie Epperson: entrepreneur, speaker, coach, founder of Farmwives Club, and host of the Boldly Grounded podcast. If you've ever struggled with identity, burnout, or finding your voice in the chaos of farm life, this conversation is going to feel like a big exhale.
Kylie shares the behind-the-scenes journey of building Farmwives Club from a deeply personal season of postpartum anxiety, unmet expectations, and a whole lot of self-doubt. We talk about worthiness, motherhood, redefining ambition, and why investing in ourselves as rural women is not only important, but essential.
She opens up about how one retreat changed her entire career path, what it's like hosting a 200-woman event in small-town Missouri, and the ROI of investing in spaces where women can feel seen, supported, and celebrated. Whether you're knee-deep in farm chores, raising babies, building a brand, or doing all of the above, Kylie's bold honesty and warmth will resonate deeply.
