Today on Black Hills Insider, I’m sitting down with Hannah Wolf, the owner of Elizabeth Ann’s Bridal, a brand new bridal shop in downtown Belle Fourche.

Hannah was born and raised right here in Belle Fourche, left to learn and grow in the fashion and bridal world, and then made the brave decision to come home and build something of her own.

In this episode, we talk about her family’s deep roots in the community, the legacy behind the name Elizabeth Ann’s Bridal, what it really feels like to open a brick and mortar business in a small town, and the fear and faith that come with taking a big risk.

We also talk about the kind of experience she wants every bride to have when they walk through her doors and why coming home ended up being the best decision she ever made.

If you love small town stories, local businesses, and real conversations about chasing a dream, you’re going to love this episode.

In this episode of Black Hills Insider, I sit down with Alexandra Hanson, better known as PeeDee Hanson.

PeeDee is a western wildlife and landscape artist, a former coffee hut and tapas house business owner, and a passionate community supporter who proves you do not have to stay in one lane to build a meaningful life. Today, she is focused on showing her work at art shows and teaching others how to paint, helping people reconnect with creativity they may have set aside.

We talk about what it really looks like to evolve your career, take risks, and pivot without losing your identity. PeeDee shares honest insight into the business side of art, valuing your work, staying grounded in a small town, and continuing to give back to the community while building a life you love.

This episode is for creatives, entrepreneurs, and anyone who has ever felt pulled in more than one direction and wondered if that was actually a strength.
