Macy Johnston didn't set out to become a role model. She started posting on TikTok during COVID, bored at home, and made a video introducing herself, her weenie dog, and her log cabin. That video went viral, and she kept going—posting normal country girl content: fishing from a kayak, hunting trips with girlfriends, gardening, canning, and faith. No gimmicks, no clickbait, and notably, no taking her clothes off. "A million and a half followers, all with my clothes on," she says.

And for a generation that has lost its connection to where food comes from, that old-school approach is exactly what makes her stand out.

Show Notes

Macy Watkins Johnston fits right in as she shares how her old-school country upbringing turned into a massive social media following. She tells the story of meeting her husband on a turkey hunt and somehow ends up in Uncle Si’s long-running black panther debate. Martin and Macy compare notes on gardens, chickens, and the country skills younger generations are losing, while Si takes the conversation off the rails with snake stories and plenty of questionable wisdom. Macy closes things out with the faith behind her new Dear Y’all Podcast and why Psalm 37 has become one of her favorite passages.
