The Allure of Cowboys, Trad Wives & Cougar Hunting with Cathy Holman
Here's the latest dispatch.
Good morning,
For you newbies out there, welcome to Outsider on the Inside. I hope this dispatch from in and around the nation’s capital on underreported topics finds you well.
If you’re just discovering my musings, here’s a backgrounder and make sure we’re connected on Facebook, Instagram, Twitter, and YouTube.
Get to Know Cathy Holman of Prairie Wife in Heels
In today’s episode of District of Conservation, I welcome Wyoming media personality and Prairie Wife in Heels creator, Cathy Holman, to the program.
Cathy is a new friend of mine I made through a joint appearance on my IWF colleague Julie Gunlock’s Bespoke Podcast. We connected at our recent gala in Washington, D.C., and stayed in touch since then. Now, a podcast.
Here’s more about Cathy and her brand:
Prairie Wife (Cathy Holman) is a city girl from Milwaukee who went country, all for the love of a cowboy. She now lives in the middle of nowhere Wyoming with five children, two dogs, four horses, a mini mule, a couple of steers and pigs, and a constantly changing number of chickens and cats. She began PrairieWifeInHeels.com in 2013 to offer support to other women, wives, and mothers. And now, her message of living a life of grit and grace is for ANYONE.
…
On this site, you can find honest (with a bit of humor) posts about creating a life you love, parenting, life in Wyoming, and behind-the-scenes looks at brand development.
Eventually, all this writing led to speaking engagements, regular TV appearances on K2’s Good Morning Wyoming, and a weekly radio segment on K2 AM1030 in 2018. From 2018 to 2022, you could find Prairie Wife every weekday 6 – 10 am on My Country 95.5 KWYY on the My Country Morning Show. She received multiple awards from the Wyoming Association of Broadcasters for her on-air work. In the fall of 2022, she left the radio to focus more on her family and put more time and energy into building the Prairie Wife brand.
In Episode 420, Cathy discusses her journey to Wyoming prairie wife, mother, and media personality, the Prairie Wife in Heels origin story, how Cody, Wyoming, first drew her into the Cowboy State, the allure of cowboys, her time hosting a Wyoming country music station, what her thoughts on the trad wife trend are, raising outdoor kids, and her recent mountain lion hunt that garnered social media attention.
