In this episode of Your Ag Empire, we’re sitting down with Haley Davenport—the heart and hands behind Steel Marie Collective. A single mom of two, vintage western entrepreneur, and unapologetic advocate for starting over, Haley brings a refreshingly honest take on rebuilding life after it falls apart.

She talks about what it means to pursue purpose over perfection, the power of creating a home-based business that fits your values, and how pain can lead to clarity. This isn’t about hustle culture or polished Pinterest boards—it’s about honoring your story, working with your hands, and finding peace in the process.

In this Episode We Discuss:

  • Haley’s journey from unraveling to rebuilding

  • Creating a business that blends motherhood, faith, and fashion

  • The shame that often comes with starting over and how to let it go

  • Why women in their 30s need more real voices and fewer highlight reels

  • What it means to be powerful and gentle

Haley reminds us you don’t have to do it all to have it all—you just have to do what matters.
