In this episode of the Westward Podcast, I chat with Vanessa Ould, known on social media as @wifeofacowboy.


Vanessa shares her journey from growing up in the city to becoming a cowboy's wife in rural Canada.

She talks about her faith, which was solidified during a transformative mission trip to Africa, and how it guides her daily life.


We dive into her family's life on a community pasture in Saskatchewan, the joy and challenges of homeschooling their children, and the balance of ranching life with their business, Forty Seven Ranch Co. Vanessa also discusses her love for writing and how she uses social media to share her life and faith. Despite audio issues on my end, Vanessa's inspiring story and authentic voice shine through. Join us for an uplifting conversation about faith, family, and the rugged, rewarding life of ranching.
