Rebel Rootz Show Episode #54 with Jana Fogleman.


Watch the full episode on Youtube:


In this episode of Rebel Rootz, Evonne Varady sits down with Jana Fogleman for a bold and honest conversation about what it means to be a woman who hunts, speaks up, and refuses to live by anyone else’s expectations.


Jana shares how her journey took her from competitive sports, CrossFit, strongman, scuba diving, and world travel into a life built around hunting, fishing, entrepreneurship, and adventure. She opens up about stepping into male-dominated spaces, being underestimated as a female hunter, and learning how to confidently say, “no, I’m the shooter.”


Evonne and Jana also talk about confidence, body image, camo, criticism, relationships, and the pressure women feel to follow a certain timeline in life. From building self-trust to finding like-minded people and owning who you are, this episode is all about breaking stereotypes and getting comfortable being fully yourself.


If you’ve ever felt underestimated, out of place, or behind in life, this conversation will remind you that there is no one right way to be a woman and no one right timeline for building a life you love. Tune in to hear Jana Fogleman’s perspective on women in hunting, confidence, identity, conservation, and going against the grain.


I can also give you a second version that feels a little more punchy and a little less polished if you want it to sound even more Rebel Rootz.
