I am beyond excited to welcome today’s guest, Waylynn Lucas, to the podcast! We’re diving into what life can look like when you follow your fire, instead of taking the ‘normal’ path that looks just like everyone else’s. Waylynn’s story is fascinating; she’s had a variety of unique life experiences, and she hasn’t been afraid to pursue different passions on her journey. Waylynn’s energy, spirit, and no-nonsense attitude is one-of-a-kind, and she is truly a light in the world.
Waylynn Lucas is the cookbook author of Sunny-Side Up, more than 100 recipes from the essential egg to the perfect pastry. She is the encouraging but honest judge on Food Network’s hit show, Cake War. Her love of country life and the outdoors has brought her back to the basics of food and life, where she now owns and operates a wholesale bakery, Butter & Barley. She strives to deepen her culinary knowledge, expand her homestead to gardens, cheese making and raising her own food. She also wants to be the voice to bridge the gap between farmers, ranchers, and the restaurant-consumer world, and connect the people back to their food on a wholesome and educated journey. Waylynn hosts women’s horsemanship and country culinary retreats with her gal pal and best friend, as well as offering life and success coaching in a business they call Grit Grace Grow.
In this episode, we chat about:
- Waylynn’s life plans that originally led her away from the ag and western lifestyle
- Why it’s okay to try everything and figure out what actually sets your soul on fire
- How valuable a strong work ethic can be
- Pivotal life lessons that pushed Waylynn to ‘keep suiting up and showing up’, and sharing with others
- Understanding when it’s time to let something go and make a necessary shift in your life
- What’s next for Waylynn as she steps back into the western industry in this season of life
- Navigating the new journey of motherhood and career as a single mom, and finding a balance between the two

The Brothers Ortiz is the story of two brothers–both successful, but in very different ways. Gabe Ortiz becomes a third-highest ranking officer in all of Texas while his younger brother Larry climbs the ranks in Puro Tango Blast, a notorious Texas Prison gang. Gabe doesn’t know all the details of his brother’s nefarious dealings, and he’s made a point not to ask, to protect their relationship. But when Larry is murdered during a home invasion in a rented beach house, Gabe has no choice but to look into what happened that night. To solve Larry’s murder, Gabe, and the whole Ortiz family, must ask each other tough questions.
