46. How Stories Shape Rural Women Entrepreneurs: A Conversation with Trailblazher Magazine

I’m excited to have two incredible women on today’s episode. Jan and Erin Johnson, founders of Trailblazher magazine, join us for a conversation about their mission, storytelling, and fostering connection. 

The mom and daughter team share how they combined their writing, research, and design skills to dream up and create their keepsake magazine. With their sixteenth issue just being launched for fall, we’ll learn how Trailblazher magazine is all about the connection, collaboration, and community between rural women. Their publication is filled with women sharing their stories that are filled with inspiration. You can also find DIY projects, mental wellness help, recipes, business info, and more in each quarterly issue. 

Jan and Erin give a behind-the-scenes look at what balance looks like working together for 25 years and now living together as well. They’ve always worked with female entrepreneurs, and their passion for connecting rural women is evident as they give us details about their online directory, which is going live at the end of September!

Supporting women is their mission, so don’t miss their fall issue of Trailblazher to learn more.

About the Podcast

Cowgirls Over Coffee
Spoiler: there’s nothing you’re missing. There’s no hack, strategy, system or secret that you just haven’t figured out. There’s only the process of discovering what matters for you and what doesn’t, what works for you and what doesn’t. The Cowgirls Over Coffee podcast exists to invite women into deeper conversations that lead to stronger lives.

Welcome to Cowgirls Over Coffee with Thea Larsen! The podcast where I take you along on my mission to encourage and equip women to finally quit winging it, and learn to savor life at the intersection of home and ambition. Tune in each week for conversations with not only myself, but also roundtable discussions with my friends, and even an expert or two, as we navigate the messy, mundane and magic of every day cultivating thriving homes and businesses from the ranch, farm, kitchen table or cab of the truck.

This is an experiment in embracing the process, sampling systems, and nurturing self, all while simply refusing to settle for less than we know we can achieve - for ourselves, our families, our communities and our businesses. We’ll cover topics like planning, organization, rural lifestyle, motherhood, wellbeing, homemaking, dream chasing and entrepreneurship.
