HALFWAY FERAL: WHERE WILD STORIES MEET UNTAMED WOMEN
“Our mission is to empower women to break the mold, get dirty, and live their adventure through real-life stories.”
A clear mammogram in March. A gut feeling that something was still wrong. By August, Khrystyne had a stage 4 metastatic breast cancer diagnosis that years of imaging had missed. The same instinct that saved her life is the one she trusts in the field — and it runs through one of the most honest, funny, and moving conversations Halfway Feral has recorded.
In this episode, hosts Kim and Austin sits down with Khrystyne ”KK” — bowhunter, breast cancer thriver, and one of the most magnetic women in the outdoor community — to talk about grit, gut instinct, and refusing to let hard seasons stop you.
In this episode:
- Why trusting your gut is a survival skill — in the doctor's office and in the field — and how to advocate for yourself when the medical system dismisses women
- Relearning your body and identity after a life-changing diagnosis, and becoming ”a different kind of capable”
- Coming back to archery as an adult and the healing the sport brought
- Teaching her husband and son to hunt, and building a marriage that grows stronger in retirement instead of drifting apart
- The redemption axis deer hunt eight years in the making — the buck fever, the perfect shot, and sharing it with her best friend
- Why community is everything for women who hunt, and what you miss trying to go it alone
This is real talk between friends — belly laughs, hard truths about cancer, and everything in between. Whether you hunt, hike, fish, or you're just relearning who you are after life changed the rules, this one will stick with you.
