Summary

Shea Fisher grew up in the dust and adrenaline of the rodeo—daughter of a world-famous professional rodeo mom and dad, and a girl determined to keep up with the boys. She even became a professional bull rider just to stay in the mix. Music found her next: she signed her first record deal in Australia and landed multiple radio hits before Nashville legend James Stroud called out of the blue and had her releasing a new single within two weeks in America.

We talked about the full ride—marrying a professional cowboy, life as a mom, building her own clothing line, and now returning to the music that’s always been in her blood. Shea shares how all the chapters of her life fit together and the hard-earned lessons the rodeo, the industry, and motherhood have taught her.
