In the latest episode of The IWD406 Podcast, our guest is Amber Michelle:
Amber moved to Montana 10 years ago with her husband and 3 beautiful children. She graduated from Cal Poly San Luis Obispo with a BS in Psychology in 2008. She worked in the social services field for a few years and provided emergency foster shelter for 23 children before moving to Montana. Amber had 2 goals when I made the decision to move: to spend more quality time with my kids and move away from an emotionally taxing career and to strengthen her marriage. The marriage didn't work out and things got messy. She found herself falling into a pattern she swore she never would do, an ugly custody battle. Then Amber was handed a script for a movie that was similar to her situation and it changed the trajectory. She took the role of Shelly and it helped her change her way of thinking and Amber has since created a harmonious life for her family. In addition, it sent her on a new career path, ACTING! Amber is inspired to do more roles that help create awareness around social injustice.

In the latest episode of The IWD406 Podcast, our guest is Dr. Janna Hibler.
Dr. Hibler ND, MS Nutrition is a firm believer in Food As Medicine, but what happens when your gut health is impaired?
You might be eating all the right foods, and consuming all the right supplements, but if the integrity of your intestinal lining is compromised you may not be able to absorb all of it’s nutrients.
Supplements and food intake can have as little as a 20% absorption rate; versus, IV Therapy has close to 100% absorption rate.
Dr. Hibler experienced this first hand after she gave birth to her son. With a c-section infection, and a near death experience, it was only with weekly IV Therapy infusions that she was she able to regain her vitality.
IV Therapy restores energy levels, boosts immunity, and balances hormones. It also repairs the gastrointestinal tract, which will speed up recovery time, improve your adrenals, mood, and mental health.
Today, she prescribes customized IV Therapy treatment for her patients, and has designed 5 powerful Wellness Drips to rejuvenate your health.

In the latest episode of The IWD406 Podcast, our guest is Hannah Plumb.
"Thirty-one years ago, I packed a few bags, books, and albums into my little Toyota Tercel and waved goodbye to traffic jams, drive by shootings, and serious humidity. It was winter in New Jersey as I drove down the turnpike but winter was about to get real and start with a capital “W” by the end of my journey. Four days later and a lot of white-knuckling and questioning my big dream, I arrived in Whitefish, Montana and declared it home. Like many of us making a start in this corner of the world, I wore many hats to make a living… graphic designer, concierge, bookstore owner, dog walker, gardener, construction worker, and many things in between. I learned to fly fish and cross-country ski. I had my first taste of antelope and have become proficient at starting a fire. After all these years, my family back East still shake their heads in wonder; confounded…. -40 degrees? A moose running down the road? Grizzly bears in your yard? You heat by woodstove?"Hanna Plumb came to Montana in search of wide open spaces and a life filled with community, big landscape, and an opportunity to grow in new ways. She has been working as the Development Coordinator for the Flathead Youth Home. Her life has become a investment in young people. When she began this journey, She did not know that her heart would be broken and changed by a twelve year old girl addicted to meth, or that she would meet a boy who would grow into a man that she is proud to call friend or that she would bear witness to some of the most resilient and courageous young souls that inspire her every day.Our world feels hard these days. Broken in ways she is not sure will ever fully heal. But she has seen enough healing that gives her hope. She has encountered a beauty in this world that compels her to keep investing in the people and places she has grown to love. Over the years, Hannah has gathered quotes and poems and lines from songs and tucked them away for future encouragement, inspiration, and celebration. A favorite quote by Rumi, is one she tries to live by daily , “Be a lamp, or a lifeboat, or a ladder. Help Someone’s soul heal. [Rumi] That is Hannah's life investment and inspiration – that her life is part of helping, healing, help, and hope.

Hannah King
Finding the Joy in Music
Our first remarkable guest is Hannah King from https://hannahkingmusic.com, a talented singer, songwriter, and fiddle player based in Montana.
Hannah's journey, from fiddle competitions to significant collaborations in the music industry, will be explored in the podcast. She will share her love for music and her experiences. Hannah's episode will be released on March 8th, International Women’s Day.
Hannah's musical path began at age 6 when her mom enrolled her in fiddle lessons in a small Montana town. Captivated by bands like George Strait & Ace in the Hole and Alison Krauss & Union Station, she developed a passion for the fiddle. Hannah honed her skills in Texas Style fiddling, participating in competitions nationwide, winning multiple Montana State and regional titles, and ultimately achieving the 2014 National Young Adult champion title, a dream come true for her.
"After years of competitive music, I yearned for a more creative and expressive musical experience. Writing my own music became a way to navigate life and hopefully resonate with others," says King. In November 2020, she released her first all-original, self-titled EP – a mix of Western Swing, Bluegrass, and Country tones with a prominent fiddle presence. Honest lyrics coupled with her angelic voice create captivating music.
Following her debut EP, she released Hannah King Part 2, performing it at the 2021 Under the Big Sky Festival. Both EPs feature acclaimed musicians like 15-time Grammy winner Barry Bales (Alison Krauss), CMA musician of the year Jenee Fleenor (Blake Shelton), and others. Hannah is currently sharing her music in Montana, Tennessee, and Georgia, with plans to return to the Under the Big Sky festival in Whitefish, MT and upcoming concert series with the release of new music.
To listen to Hannah's episode, you will be able to access her episode at www.iwd406.com/podcast or on any of your favorite podcast platforms including Spotify, Apple and Google.
