“Wyoming Is Having a Moment in 2026”
Episode Summary

If Wyoming isn’t on your 2026 travel list yet… it will be after this episode. In this lively, laugh-filled conversation, co-hosts Heide Brandes and Nicky Omohundro dive into why the Cowboy State is set to become the destination for women over 45 craving adventure, authenticity, luxury—or all three.

Heide brings back stories straight from Carbon County, like free 24/7 hot springs, llama trekking with goofy-but-loveable pack animals, saloon-style dinners with real cowboys, and small-town museums with some truly wild Old West history.

Then, the duo shifts to Jackson Hole’s major glow-up for 2026, including luxury lodge renovations, ski-season celebrations, red-light-therapy spas (yes, please), sleigh rides, wildlife safaris, and rooftop hot tubs under enormous Wyoming skies.

It’s fun, it’s feisty, it’s full of irresistible travel inspiration, and it’ll have you planning a birthday trip, girls’ getaway, or solo escape before the episode even ends. If you’re a woman embracing your independence, your curiosity, and your “why not?” era, this one’s for you.

Listen in and discover why Wyoming is about to have its biggest year yet.
