Sixteen days alone in the mountains — just her, her bow, and the 340 inch bull elk stalk that would shake the hunting world. Today's guest is a force of nature. She’s an artist who pours her soul into every stroke, a mustang trainer who finds freedom in patience and the untamed, and a solo hunter who faced one of the toughest hunts of her life — and an even tougher storm online. After an unforgettable 16 day solo archery hunt that ended in the bull of a lifetime, she faced a wave of criticism that would have made most people go silent. But instead, she chose to stand tall and stay grounded in the same strength that carried her through the mountains. She's using her story to shed light on solitude and authenticity in the outdoors. Today we're diving into the hunt, the heartbreak, the backlash and how Lydia continues to blend wildness and art into everything she touches.

This week on the podcast, I’m joined by someone whose name has been echoing across the outdoor world specifically in the bass world but don't you know, she's making her mark in the woods too. Just days after knocking down an incredible archery buck, she’s here to relive that moment with us— the rush, the emotion, and the story behind the hunt that has everyone talking. But this guest's story doesn’t stop there. From her days at UW–Stevens Point to building a platform that’s changing how women show up in the outdoors, we’re diving deep into how she’s built her voice and earned her seat at the table in a space still dominated by men. This is raw, inspiring, and full of passion — and little Busch light, so let’s get into it with the one and only Maggie Carsello with episode one of two.Connect with Maggie:@maggiejo_outdoorsConnect with Victoria:@shegoesbeyondthe8@victoriafriedges

We dive into how she built her brand from the ground up, how her time in nature shapes her creativity, the realities of working with Airbnbs and what it means to be a woman confidently blazing her own trail in the outdoor space.

And I highly suggest listening close... she has been a hammer on the water this year!

Honestly one of my fav episodes this year. Autumn is an absolute hammer when it comes to understanding the ins and outs of trapping. She gives us SO much info on how to get involved, how to start trapping, what to use for bait/lure/traps, and so much more. She is beyond passionate about trapping and what the industry has done and will do as it grows; or should I say, hopefully grows. Trapping is so important for conservation and Autumn tells us all about it. Welcome, Autumn McEntee!!Connect with Autumn:@pa.trapper.girlConnect with Victoria:@shegoesbeyondthe8@victoriafriedges

This episode was so fun and you're going to learn a bunch of info about how Ricca and her hubby prep their land for fall deer season here in the Midwest. Ricca gives us some tips and tricks to getting deer to travel a certain way, and how her and her husband pattern the bucks on their property. We also talk about photography and her passion for working with outdoor brands. She’s actually a powerhouse when it comes to working with outdoor brands! She already has some dream brand connections- think Lund Boats and more! Something I didn’t expect us to talk so deep about was a question I asked "what is something she would tell her younger self?" This ended up in a sweet conversation about how you should just go out there and do it, regardless of how nervous you are! Enjoy!Connect with Ricca:@rretzloffConnect with Victoria:@victoriafriedges@shegoesbeyondthe8

Whether she's on the ice or just chasing the next perfect cast, her energy is contagious. But today, we also go beyond the fishing gear and the fun to talk about something deeply personal. She's currently in the middle of a fight that requires more grit, more faith and more strength than any backcountry adventure.
