Certified Health Coach: www.empowHERdwellness.com Hi! I'm Cheyenne, The Native Cowgirl.
(202)

I am a multifaceted rural entrepreneur, a fifth-generation RanchHer, and proud to carry on the legacy of strong women in agriculture. My family and I raise draft-cross horses, and I am an enrolled member of the Oglala Lakota Sioux Tribe from Pine Ridge, South Dakota. Honoring my heritage, preserving ranch life, and celebrating the role of women in agriculture are at the heart of what I do. I believe in spreading positivity and inspiration wherever I can. My personal journey has been one of transformation - I lost over 100 pounds and have kept it off for nearly two years. That experience fueled my passion for helping other women step into their best selves. As a certified health coach, I now guide women toward healthier, happier, and more confident lives through sustainable habits and mindset shifts. The Native Cowgirl is more than just a brand - it’s a lifestyle rooted in grit, growth, and gratitude. Whether I’m sharing the daily rhythms of ranch life, health tips, or motivational stories, my mission is to empower and uplift women everywhere.

There is a kind of strength that doesn’t announce itself.

It doesn’t post its wins.
It doesn’t ask for applause.
It doesn’t explain how hard the road has been.

It just keeps going.

Quiet strength is getting up when your heart is heavy and your body is tired.
It’s choosing to move forward when stopping would be easier.
It’s holding the line when no one is watching and no one is cheering.

It’s the woman who keeps showing up even when she feels unseen.
The one who carries grief, responsibility, disappointment, and hope all at once.
The one who refuses to quit…even on the days she barely believes in herself.

That strength is built in the early mornings.
In the silent prayers.
In the long nights where tears fall and resolve rises anyway.

You don’t need recognition to be powerful.
You don’t need permission to persevere.
You don’t need to prove anything to anyone.

If you are still standing.
If you are still trying.
If you are still choosing forward…

That is strength.
That is resilience.
That is courage.

And it matters.

Some days the trail is smooth.
Other days it’s rutted, muddy, and full of unexpected turns.

Staying focused on your goals isn’t about everything going perfectly. It’s about choosing to keep going when life throws a curveball you didn’t see coming. It’s about remembering why you started…even when the road feels heavy and the detours feel unfair.

There will be days when motivation fades. Days when doubt gets loud. Days when it would be easier to hand over the reins and let circumstances decide for you.

But here’s the truth…you are still in the driver’s seat.

You get to decide how you respond.
You get to choose whether you slow down, adjust your grip, and keep moving forward.
You get to follow through, even when it’s hard, because your dreams are worth the discipline it takes to reach them.

Progress isn’t always loud or fast. Sometimes it’s quiet consistency. One step. One choice. One reminder that you are capable, resilient, and in control of where you’re headed.

Hold the reins steady. Eyes forward. Heart grounded.
You’ve got places to go.

Change has a funny way of knocking on the door when we least expect it.

Sometimes it feels uncomfortable…other times it feels like a deep breath you didn’t realize you needed.

Right now, change feels exciting. Refreshing. Full of possibility.

I’m helping my mom move back to Montana. New, yet familiar. A new landscape, new rhythms, new memories waiting to be made. This chapter comes after loss, after heartbreak, after saying goodbye to my dad…and it marks a new era for her.

Change doesn’t erase what was. It honors it by allowing what’s next.

I’m choosing to grasp this newness with enthusiasm. To welcome it with an open heart. To be grateful for the chance to be closer, to laugh more, to create fun memories together, and to walk this next season side by side.

Change is growth.
Change is healing.
Change is hope.

And sometimes, change is exactly what the soul needs to begin again.

Some news stops you in your tracks.

A friend of mine passed away…only a couple of years older than me. I am absolutely devastated. Cancer is cruel and unfair, and it reminds us in the hardest way that none of us are promised tomorrow.

And today carries even more weight…today is my dad’s birthday. His first one in heaven since he left us 7 weeks ago. The ache of missing him mixed with losing a friend is almost too much to put into words.

We spend so much time waiting. Waiting until things are easier. Waiting until we feel ready. Waiting until someday. But someday is not guaranteed.

If this life has taught me anything, it is this: do the things you want to do. Say the things that matter. Make the memories. Take the trip. Chase the dream. Love hard. Laugh loud. Do not live small or scared.

We only get one life to live…act like it.

Hold your people a little tighter today.
And do not waste a minute on fear or limits.

Never giving up isn’t about being perfect.
It’s about deciding, over and over again, that your life is worth the effort.

Eat better.
Not for a number on the scale…but so your body can heal, move, and show up for the life you want.

Feel better.
Because when you stop feeding yourself garbage, physically and mentally, everything changes.

Move more.
Your body was designed to move. Motion is medicine. Stiffness fades when you stop sitting on the sidelines of your own life.

Have less pain.
So you can saddle up, chase dreams, lift your kids, walk the hills, and live without constantly negotiating with your body.

Use common sense.
Drink your water. Get your sleep. Eat real food. Quit waiting for a magic pill to do the work you already know needs to be done.

And push yourself to be more.
More disciplined.
More committed.
More in control of your health and your future.

You don’t have to be extreme.
You just have to refuse to quit.

Your life changes when you do.

Clarity changes everything.

When you get quiet enough to hear your own voice, your goals stop feeling foggy and start feeling possible. You realize what matters. What doesn’t. What you’ve been putting off because it felt scary…or inconvenient.

Here’s the truth most people avoid:

You only get one life.

Not a practice round. Not a “someday.” One.

So stop shrinking your dreams to fit someone else’s comfort. Stop waiting for the perfect timing. Stop telling yourself you’ll start when things slow down.

Get clear. Get honest. Get brave.

Set the goal. Make the plan. Take the step. Then take another.

Act like this life matters…because it does.

Stop asking for things to be easier.

Ask for more of yourself.

More grit.
More discipline.
More courage to stand back up when it hurts.

The land doesn’t get easier.
The work doesn’t soften.
Life doesn’t slow down just because you’re tired.

You get stronger.

You figure it out.
You adapt.
You rise…even when no one is cheering.

That’s the cowgirl way.
That’s the ancestral way.
That’s how women are built.

Strong enough to carry it.
Wise enough to learn from it.
Brave enough to keep going.

Some days, showing up for yourself doesn’t look loud or glamorous.
It looks like choosing to keep going.
Like taking one honest step forward.
Like keeping your eyes on what matters most…even when the noise around you is tempting you to look away.

Out here, we learn that focus is everything. A steady hand. A clear direction. Trust in the path beneath your boots and the horse ahead of you. Life isn’t so different.

When you show up for yourself, you’re honoring your time, your energy, and your purpose. You’re saying no to distractions that drain you and yes to the things that fuel your soul. You’re choosing progress over perfection, alignment over approval.

Stay grounded. Stay intentional. Keep your eyes forward.
What’s meant for you doesn’t need chasing…just commitment.

Today is National Motivation & Inspiration Day…and here’s your gentle reminder from the ranch.

Motivation doesn’t always show up loud and fiery.
Sometimes it looks like getting up anyway.
Choosing progress over perfection.
Doing the next right thing, even when no one is watching.

Inspiration isn’t about becoming someone new…it’s about remembering who you already are. Strong. Capable. Still becoming.

If you’re feeling behind, tired, or unsure, take a breath. You don’t have to chase everything today. Just take one honest step forward.

That’s how real momentum is built…one choice, one moment, one day at a time.

You’re doing better than you think.🤍

Happy New Year…🐎🔥

Yesterday was about choosing your word.
Today is about living it.

A word means nothing without intention behind it.
Without determination to show up when it’s hard.
Without the drive to keep moving forward when the fire flickers instead of roars.

This is the Year of the Fire Horse…
Forward motion. Strength. Courage. Momentum.
Not reckless fire, but disciplined fire…the kind that forges steel, clears old ground, and lights the path ahead.

If you want your word to come true, you don’t wait for the year to do the work.
You saddle up.
You choose again and again to move in the direction you said you would.
You honor your word with action.

Let this be the year you ride with purpose.
Eyes up. Reins steady.
Fire in your chest and grit in your soul.

Here’s to a year that doesn’t just look good on paper…but feels earned.

Choosing a word for the year isn’t just a trendy ritual…it’s a declaration.

It becomes the lens you look through when decisions feel heavy.
The anchor you come back to when life gets loud.
The reminder of who you are becoming when old patterns try to pull you backward.

Your word sets the tone.
It gives direction.
It calls you forward with intention instead of letting the year happen to you.

And this year carries extra meaning.

2026 is the Year of the Fire Horse.

Fire Horse energy is bold, independent, driven, and unstoppable.
It’s movement and momentum.
It’s courage paired with passion.
It’s freedom with purpose.

The Fire Horse doesn’t wait for permission.
She trusts her instincts.
She runs toward what lights her up and leaves behind what no longer fits.

That’s why choosing a word this year matters even more.
It’s not about control…it’s about alignment.
About deciding what you’re willing to ignite and what you’re finally ready to release.

When you choose your word, you choose how you show up.
You choose your focus.
You choose your fire.

And this year?
The fire is already lit.

There’s something powerful about standing on the edge of a new year.

2026 is waiting…quietly.
Not asking for promises.
Not demanding perfection.

Just asking one simple question:

Are you willing to show up differently?

You can wish for change.
You can hope for healing.
You can pray for clarity and strength.

But the truth is…
Change answers to action.

The habits you keep.
The boundaries you set.
The way you care for your body, your mind, your spirit.
The choices you make on the hard days…not just the motivated ones.

Out here, on the land, I’ve learned this:
Nothing grows because we want it to.
It grows because we tend to it…daily, patiently, intentionally.

2026 doesn’t need a new version of you.
It needs a committed one.

Sit with that.
Feel what’s stirring.
And ask yourself…
What would change if I finally chose myself?

Who is The Native Cowgirl?

My name is Cheyenne Glade Wilson and I am “The Native Cowgirl”. I am a fifth generation rancher with an intense love of horses and cattle. My husband, son, and I own and operate the Lazy Six Nine Ranch. We run a Black Angus commercial cow herd and we raise half-draft horses. I am also an enrolled member of the Oglala Lakota Sioux tribe. My family and I reside on the Pine Ridge Indian Reservation in South Dakota.

I consider myself a creative artist because I love to express myself through different mediums (photography, writing, silversmithing). I am also a fifth generation cattle rancher. I am a proud enrolled member of the Oglala Lakota Sioux tribe. My family and I reside on the Pine Ridge Indian Reservation in South Dakota.

I strive daily to share the beauty of life around us, spread positivity, and increase awareness of modern day ranching. I love perpetuating the role of women in agriculture through my social media outlets and blog. Come along with me daily on my journey!
