Recent Podcast Appearances
I was honored to be featured on two different podcasts over the past year and I just realized the other day I had not shared them on here yet! I’ve shared a little about both of them below with links to download and listen to each episode. I share a little bit about my journey as an entrepreneur in each, how I got started, and advice for other small business owners, as well as some of my dreams for the future. Hope you enjoy listening!

Rural Revival is a podcast that focuses on showcasing the hardworking people who are finding creative ways to do life in rural communities all across America.
From farming and agriculture to amazing restaurants, vintage markets, and even tech start-ups, people are thinking outside the box, taking risks, and bringing life back to the hometowns and small communities we love. Our hope is this will be a place where you can be inspired to do the same.
I loved getting to chat with the founder of Rural Revival, Danna, who really felt like an old friend and has continued to be so supportive following our time together. Find a sneak peek below and link to listen/download my episode.
This week on the podcast we’re in Versailles, Kentucky (pop. 9,292) with entrepreneur Emily Riddle. Emily and her husband have invested into their small town square by bringing in several new businesses, and in just a year and a half it has evolved into a vibrant, thriving destination that’s attracting young people — and most recently Hollywood — as the site for a Drew Barrymore movie set.
Emily is an entrepreneur at heart and you’ll love her creativity and all the ideas she’s been able to bring to life in Versailles in just a short amount of time!
We asked ourselves, what do we want in downtown Versailles that we don’t have? And what would be fun to have that would bring young people here and give them something to do? We wanted to make Versailles a destination for people all around Kentucky to come to.

The “Why Should I?” podcast is a place for women to have real, honest conversations about the shoulds in life, and together we can realize we’re not alone. We can let go of the timelines, the comparison, and the inadequacy, and we can live the lives we want.
The idea for the podcast came to host Holly Ybarrola after writing an article for The Everygirl, “Why Choosing to Not Have Children Is Okay”. She was surprised by the number of comments from women who had also contemplated this should and felt alone in their journey. This spurred Holly to keep wondering: Why should I? Why do I make certain life choices? Is it my choice or society’s choice?
The purpose of this podcast is to objectively search for answers, connect women, and promote positivity.
I am honored to be featured on episode 53 of the podcast with the sweet host, Holly- here’s little sneak peek below and link to listen!
“If you can’t stop thinking about it, then you need to do it.”
Joining the conversation is designer, retailer, coffee shop owner, and lifestyle blogger, Emily Riddle. Emily got her start with the vintage shop and blog, Miss Molly Vintage, and her business has since evolved to a retail and coffee shop: Gathered Mercantile and the Amsden Coffee Club. Emily discusses what it’s like running a business with her husband along with juggling being a mom, how her business has evolved and the exciting future plans she has for her business, and offers advice for both aspiring and seasoned female entrepreneurs.
