People say time heals everything.

I’m not sure it does.

I think time teaches us how to carry what once felt impossible. The losses, the heartbreak, the disappointments…they may never fully leave us. Some aches stay. But over time, they stop cutting quite so deeply.

We learn to breathe again.
We learn to laugh again.
We learn to make room for joy without feeling guilty for it.

You don’t get over the things that changed you.
You grow around them.

And somehow, in that growth, you become stronger, softer, wiser, and more grateful for every beautiful moment in between.

If you’re carrying something heavy right now, keep going. One day you’ll look back and realize you are no longer drowning in it…you are rising through it.

There’s something about ranch life that keeps you grounded…

The rhythm of it.
The responsibility of it.
The reminder that what you put in…is what you get out.

You can’t rush growth.
You can’t skip the work.
And you definitely can’t fake consistency.

The land teaches you that. The horses teach you that.

And honestly…life’s no different.

If you want strength…build it daily.
If you want change…work for it daily.

No shortcuts. Just commitment.

And that’s a life worth living.

Sometimes the most powerful thing you can do…is unplug.

Step away from the noise.
The scrolling.
The comparison.
The constant pull to be “on.”

Out here, where the air is fresh and the rhythm is slower…I’m reminded of what truly matters.

The sound of horses moving across the pasture.
The feel of the wind on my face.
The quiet moments with my family.
The connection back to myself.

Life isn’t meant to be lived through a screen.
It’s meant to be felt…fully, deeply, and in real time.

If you’ve been feeling overwhelmed, distracted, or disconnected…this is your reminder:

Unplug.
Breathe.
Come back to what grounds you.

Because what truly matters has been right in front of you all along.

The first day of spring…🌱

There’s something sacred about this shift. The earth begins to soften, the days stretch a little longer, and everything around us whispers the same message…begin again.

Out here on the ranch, you can feel it. The horses shed their winter coats, the sun lingers just a little longer over the hills, and new life is right around the corner. It’s a season of renewal, growth, and quiet strength.

Spring reminds me that no matter how long the winter felt…nothing stays dormant forever.

So if you’ve been in a season of waiting, healing, or rebuilding…this is your reminder:
You’re allowed to start fresh.
You’re allowed to grow at your own pace.
You’re allowed to bloom in your own time.

What are you ready to step into this spring? 🌿

They say everyone is a little Irish on St. Patrick’s Day…☘️

And while I’m proudly more Oglala Lakota Sioux than Irish, I figure there’s still room in this cowgirl heart to celebrate a little green, a little luck, and a whole lot of joy today.

Out here on the ranch, luck isn’t something we wait for…it’s something we create. It’s in the early mornings, the hard work, the prayers whispered into the wind, and the gratitude we carry for this life we get to live.

So today, I’ll tip my hat to the Irish spirit…☘️
To luck, laughter, and maybe a little mischief too.

But I’ll also stand grounded in who I am, where I come from, and the strength that runs deep through my roots.

May your day be filled with good energy, strong coffee, and just enough luck to remind you that life is meant to be enjoyed.

Happy St. Patrick’s Day, friends! 🍀

Sometimes the path ahead feels uncertain.
Fear creeps in…whispers doubts…makes us question whether we are strong enough for what lies ahead.

But faith asks something different of us.

Faith asks us to take the step anyway.

To trust that even when we cannot see the full trail, it is still leading somewhere meaningful. Growth rarely comes wrapped in comfort. Most of the time it shows up disguised as challenge, uncertainty, and moments that test our courage.

Living with faith does not mean fear disappears. It means you choose not to let fear make your decisions.

You keep moving forward.
You trust the process.
You believe that what is meant for you is unfolding exactly as it should.

Some seasons are meant for learning.
Some are meant for healing.
And some are meant for rising into the person you are becoming.

Hold steady.
Trust the timing.
And keep the faith…even when the road feels a little steep.

Permanent makeup has improved my self-confidence more than I can even say over the past 9 years.

There is something incredibly empowering about waking up and feeling put together…without having to do anything. It’s simple, natural, and such a confidence booster.

Because of how much it has meant to me personally, I decided to pursue training so that I can help other women experience that same confidence.

I’m excited to share that I am now offering permanent makeup services, beginning with brows as I complete my certification.

A very special thank you to my mom for trusting me and being my model during this process. It means the world to me to have your support and belief in what I’m doing!🥰

✨ MODEL CALL – BROWS ✨
As I complete my training, I am looking for one model for brow microblading.

Requirements:
• Must not have had any previous permanent makeup on the brows
• Must be comfortable being a model for training purposes
• Must be able to be in Billings, MT for the appointment. Date and time TBD.

If you’ve been thinking about enhancing your brows and would like to be considered, please comment below or send me a message.

I’m so excited for this new chapter and to help women feel even more confident in their own skin!💕

Every year we “lose” an hour when the clocks spring forward…but I like to think of it a little differently.

This morning we woke up one hour closer to spring.

Longer evenings.
More sunlight on the mountains.
Mud on the boots.
Babies coming on the ranch.
Life waking back up again.

There’s something about this time of year that feels hopeful. The days stretch a little longer, the light lingers just a little later, and you can feel that quiet shift happening all around us.

Sometimes progress is just like that too…small shifts forward that don’t seem like much in the moment, but over time they change everything.

So yes…we lost an hour.

But today we gained a little more light.

And I’ll take that any day.

Change can feel uncomfortable at first.
It stretches us…asks more of us…sometimes even shakes up the life we’ve grown used to.

But here’s the truth…

Nothing in nature stays the same.
The seasons change.
The horses grow.
The land renews itself year after year.

Growth requires movement.

Sometimes the changes we choose lead us somewhere better.
Sometimes the changes we didn’t choose end up shaping us in ways we never expected.

Either way…change is often the doorway to the next version of ourselves.

So if life feels like it’s shifting right now…lean into it.
Trust that something good can grow from it.

I’m curious…

What is one change happening in your life right now that might actually be leading you somewhere better?

There’s something about being up in the wee hours on the ranch…when the world is quiet and the sky puts on a show.

This morning I stepped outside and captured a this photo of the Blood Moon lunar eclipse. The moon glowed in deep shades of copper and red, hanging over the Montana sky like a reminder that we are part of something so much bigger than ourselves.

What makes it a “Blood Moon”?
During a total lunar eclipse, the Earth moves directly between the sun and the moon. Instead of going dark, the moon turns red because sunlight filters through Earth’s atmosphere. The atmosphere scatters the blue light and bends the red light toward the moon…creating that beautiful, fiery glow.

Standing there in the cold Montana air, I couldn’t help but think about change. Even the moon goes through phases. Even the brightest light sometimes has to pass through shadow. And yet…it comes back glowing in a whole new way.

Did you see it? If so, where are you located? I’d love to know who else was up way before dawn watching the sky.

19 years ago today, I did something bold at the time…I formed my company.

I ran across these fun photos of some of the caps I created over the years and it brought back so many memories. I loved the creativity I got to pour into each one back then and the many amazing women I got to meet over the years. In many ways, not much has changed…I’ve simply shifted from creating with caps and crystals to creating with words, images and experiences.

Your kind words and unwavering support have meant the world to me over these past 19 years.

Cowgirl Swank began in 2007. It became The Native Cowgirl in 2015 as my business began to transition and evolve. Here I am, 11 years after that change, and even more exciting things are headed this way.

I will tell you more when everything is lined out, but what I will tell you is that I embrace change. I find it invigorating and challenging. I’m ready for more of that in my life!

Stay tuned…✨

Growth doesn’t come from staying comfortable…it comes from being willing to evolve.

Always strive to improve.
Always be willing to learn.
Always give yourself permission to recreate who you are becoming.

You are not meant to stay the same. You are meant to expand, stretch, grow and transform through every season of life.

Just like we see here on the ranch…nothing in nature stays stagnant. The horses grow, the seasons change, the land rests and renews. That same cycle exists within you.

Change isn’t something to fear.
Change is essential.

It’s how we become stronger.
It’s how we become wiser.
It’s how we step into the next, better version of ourselves.

Keep going.
Keep growing.
Never stay stagnant.

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 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.
