“I interview people with "misunderstood" lifestyles so we can educate people on the truth.”
In this two part episode of *Horrible People Podcast*, I sit down with Nicole Vachal, a powerhouse in life and founder of Canadian Women of the Outdoors. We cover a lot of ground, everything from her podcast and coaching hockey to her passion for ice fishing and the unique challenges of raising a sassy husky.
Nicole opens up about her journey of coming out, blending families in a same-sex relationship, and navigating the joys and struggles of parenting. We also dive into the barriers women face in trades and male-dominated industries like automotive and the outdoors, tackling gender bias, stereotypes, and the importance of real representation.
