From Farm Girl to Fearless Entrepreneur: The Knotty Cowgirl's Journey

"2.5 million people drive past my store each year. The name makes 80% of them turn around."

Every business has a story, but few are as authentic and inspiring as Kasha Thomson's journey. In our latest episode of Serenity Now for Entrepreneurs, this fourth-generation farmer shares how she transformed a recovery hobby into a thriving Western lifestyle brand.

What started with making hemp necklaces during knee injury recovery evolved into a mission to empower others. The name "Knotty Cowgirl" (with a K for knots!) has become more than clever wordplay – it's a rallying cry for resilience.

Key moments from our conversation:

• Building a business while battling self-doubt
• Creating a safe space beyond retail
• Transforming personal loss into purposeful growth
• The courage to pivot and prioritize your own vision

A powerful quote from Kasha: "Vulnerability is so scary until you realize it's a strength."

Whether you're an entrepreneur, building a family business, or navigating personal challenges, Kasha's story reminds us that sometimes we all need to "knotty up" and keep pushing forward.
