From small-town Nebraska to the spotlight of the rodeo world, Rebel Sjeklocha has never shied away from paving her own path. A proud University of Nebraska grad, the 2023 Miss Rodeo Nebraska, and a current Rural Radio Network reporter, Rebel joins us this week to talk about life on the ranch, her queening days, and the power of storytelling.
In this episode, we chat about what it was like growing up with a veterinarian mom, the impact of rural roots, and how rodeo queening opened doors for her career. We also dive into Rebel's creative side. Talking cowboy poetry, her love for guitar, and what’s been inspiring her lately.
Engaged to her fiancé Cade and always chasing new hobbies, Rebel is as grounded as she is gutsy. Don’t miss this conversation full of laughs, life lessons, and a little bit of cowgirl grit.
