Season 4, Episode 1 — If We Were Sitting on the Porch (opens the original)
Read excerpt
Have you ever had one piece of news divide your life into before and after? A diagnosis. A loss. A divorce. A phone call. One moment where everything around you looks exactly the same, but somehow nothing feels the same anymore. For the first episode of Season 4, pull up a chair. If we were sitting on the porch together with a cup of coffee, I'd tell you about one of those moments in my own life—and what it taught me about continuing down a trail when you can't see where it leads. Sometimes, it
Season 3, Episode 13: Encore — An Anchor Doesn't Have to Move (opens the original)
Read excerpt
A Cowboy Logic favorite is back. While I take a short break before Season 4 begins on September 5, I wanted to bring back the most-listened-to episode of Season 3: “An Anchor Doesn't Have to Move.” This one is about my mama, an old 1989 Buick Skylark, a cigarette lighter, and one of those lessons you don't fully understand until years later. Sometimes the people who anchor us don't have to fix anything. They don't have to have all the answers. Sometimes, they just have to be there. If you missed
Season 3, Episode 12 - (Finale) - The Living is the Reason (opens the original)
Read excerpt
My mama always told me we were put on this earth for a reason. For years, I wondered what that reason was. Maybe you've wondered the same thing. In the Season 3 finale of Cowboy Logic , I reflect on the lessons life has taught me through loss, resilience, family, and hope. From childhood memories to the people and moments that shaped me, this episode is a reminder that we don't always have to know why we're here. Sometimes the answer is simpler. The living is the reason. Thank you for joining me
Season 3, Episode 11 - It Takes A Herd (opens the original)
Read excerpt
I used to think writing a book was a solitary journey. Over time, I realized how many people became part of mine. In this episode of Cowboy Logic , I reflect on the people who have walked beside me throughout my writing journey—family, beta readers, ARC readers, fellow authors, reviewers, and readers who may never realize the difference they've made. Sometimes the encouragement we need arrives at exactly the right moment. A thoughtful review. A kind message. A comment from someone who connected
Season 3, Episode 10 - You Can't Leave the Mountains - They Come with You (opens the original)
Read excerpt
Some places never really leave you. I grew up in the mountains of West Virginia, surrounded by misty mornings, flowing rivers, fireflies, and the kind of quiet that settles deep into your soul. Though I've spent decades building a life in Calgary, Alberta, I eventually realized something I never expected. Home isn't just where you come from. It's the values your family gave you, the memories that shaped you, and the pieces of yourself you carry no matter how far life takes you. In this episode o
