Kylie Zschiesche may be young but already rewriting the script most twenty-somethings are being handed. Raised in the piney woods of East Texas, she grew up with grit, faith, and a front-row seat to real life, not some curated version of it. While the world keeps telling her generation to stay unattached, chase chaos, and “figure it out later,” Kylie built a life on purpose, married young, grounded in her values, and focused on work that actually matters. She’s traded the idea of endless wandering for commitment, clarity, and a vision of a future that looks a whole lot like stability, family, and faith. If you’re wondering what it looks like to go against the grain and not apologize for it, this is it.

Donna Monthei of Evervital Health doesn’t flinch when the conversation gets uncomfortable-in fact, she runs straight at it. From probiotics and metabolism to gut health and yes, poop, Donna believes your body is always telling the truth… you just have to be willing to listen. In this episode, we cut through the wellness fluff and talk about what’s actually driving fatigue, inflammation, and the slow creep of “not feeling like yourself.” Donna brings a practical, no-nonsense approach to functional health that’s rooted in data, not trends — because feeling better isn’t magic, it’s mechanics.

Guest:

Dancing With The Roots and Rocks!-In this episode, we sit down with Jackie Howard — better known in endurance circles as SPROUT-a relentless athlete who proves grit isn’t loud, it’s consistent. From early morning miles to long-course suffering, SPROUT has built a reputation for showing up, digging deep, and outlasting the noise. We talk about what fuels her engine, how she handles the mental side of endurance, and why growth-real growth-comes from choosing hard things on purpose. If you’ve ever wondered what separates participants from competitors, this conversation delivers.

Guest:

Ian Evilsizor is back- and this time he’s dragging a little mud onto the dance floor. In this episode, we dive into his newest project, Swampy Tonk, a gritty blend of back-porch soul, honky-tonk twang, and the kind of storytelling that smells like mud bugs and neon lights. Ian talks about where the sound came from, why it matters, and what happens when you mix Texas roots with a little swamp swagger. It’s raw, it’s rhythmic, and it’s proof that country music still has some dirt under its fingernails.
