Dirt Diaries: Mother-Daughter Duo Behind TrailblazHER Co. Reflect on Their Success Spotlighting Rural Women

Jan and Erin Johnson also join FarmHER + RanchHER host Kirbe Schnoor on this week’s Dirt Diaries podcast to dig in on entrepreneurship, legacy, and letting go.

ALBERTA, CANADA (RFD-TV) — A mother-daughter duo is wrapping up an inspiring chapter in their entrepreneurial journey, celebrating years of spotlighting and sharing the stories of women across rural North America.

Jan and Erin Johnson, founders of TrailblazHER Co., joined us on Thursday’s Market Day Report to talk about their work, which includes a podcast and a magazine, and what is next for them.

The two have worked together for more than 25 years, combining creativity and passion for rural storytelling. Around the time of the pandemic, they launched TrailblazHER Magazine, a project born out of necessity and driven by purpose. The pair recently released The Farewell Issue, marking the end of an incredible chapter for their brand.

Jan and Erin also appeared on this week’s Dirt Diaries podcast with Kirbe Schnoor to discuss their journey and what listeners can expect from the episode. They say they hope people take away a message of perseverance, creativity, and the power of women supporting women in rural communities.
