There are conversations that deepen the way we relate to our horses, and this was absolutely one of them.

As someone who lives alongside horses every day, I’m always curious about the space where intuition, experience, and science meet. Sitting down with neuroscientist and horse trainer Janet Jones felt like stepping further into that understanding.

Janet is the author of the bestselling Horse Brain, Human Brain, a book that genuinely transformed the way I think about horse behavior, trust, fear, training, and the horse-human connection. In this conversation, we explore insights from her upcoming book, A Horse's World, available now for pre-order before its June 23 release.

We talk about what’s actually happening when horses snort or lick and chew, how horses experience the world through smell, why lighting and vision matter more than most riders realize, and the neuroscience behind helping horses feel safe in new environments.

One part that especially stayed with me was Janet describing a new horse as feeling like “a tourist in a foreign country.” As I’ve been integrating a new mare into my own herd, that perspective felt incredibly grounding and compassionate.

We also explore:
• Rewarding relaxation instead of only correcting behavior
• Predator brains vs. prey brains
• Wild horses vs. horses living in the wild
• Anthropomorphism in horsemanship
• Building trust through consistency, calmness, and understanding

This conversation felt less like learning “about” horses and more like remembering to see the world a little more through their eyes.

Some conversations slow time. They remind us that the adventure is not something we chase, but something we notice. Sitting with Kelly Wendorf felt like stepping back into that remembering.

Kelly is the founding CEO of EQUUS Inspired, a women run leadership and transformation organization rooted in nature based wisdom and horse human connection. Raised among archeological digs, Kelly shares how horses became her teachers in leadership, presence, and trust. We talk about power and partnership, the responsibility of working with horses with reverence, and why this moment in history is quietly asking us to choose love over fear.

In this episode we explore
• What thriving feels like beyond success
• How horses guide us back to presence
• Relationship over control
• Listening as a form of leadership

As you listen, notice where something softens. That may be where the next part of your adventure begins.

The adventure is not somewhere out there. It is in the choices you are making right now.

In this conversation, I sit with Krystal Eicher and Wendy Guth, co-founders of Serendipitous Rebel, who help women build businesses that support the life they actually want to live. Their path moved through unexpected pivots, partnership changes, and moments that asked them to slow down and listen more deeply.

We explore what happens when you stop chasing what looks successful and start choosing what feels aligned. The kind of work that honors your real life, your relationships, and your capacity.

Reflections to sit with:

• The adventure is here, not someday
• Success can shift as you grow
• Alignment often comes from letting go, not adding more
• You are allowed to build a life and business that work together

Maybe the question is not what you need to achieve next.
Maybe it is what you are ready to come home to.

Sometimes the adventure we are seeking is the courage to finally turn inward and face the parts of ourselves we’ve been avoiding.

In this honest and deeply grounding conversation, I sit down with Kaira Pechtl, somatic psychotherapy practitioner and communication coach, to explore trauma healing, codependency, emotional resilience, and authentic connection.

We talk about childhood wounds, nervous system regulation, emotional triggers, relationships, boundaries, and why true healing starts with connection to self. We also explore the role of community, vulnerability, animals, and nature in helping us reconnect to presence and truth.

If you’ve ever felt emotionally overwhelmed, disconnected from yourself, or exhausted from carrying everyone else’s needs, this episode is for you.

In this episode, we explore:

• Somatic therapy and trauma healing
• Codependency and emotional maturity
• Nervous system regulation and triggers
• Healthy communication and relationships
• Boundaries, self trust, and vulnerability
• Women’s healing and collective connection

“The suffering we run from because we are unwilling to face the truth of life, and the suffering that comes when we're willing to stop running from the sorrows and difficulties of the world. The second kind of suffering will lead you to freedom.”
— Arjun Cha

What if asking for help is only the beginning?

In this mini-sode, I’m reflecting on the adventure of actually receiving support when it shows up. From travel and horses to mental health, wellness, and coming home after some big experiences lately, this episode is a reminder that we are not meant to carry everything alone.

I share stories from recent travels to the United Kingdom, competing in a speaking competition, discovering new wellness tools, and preparing for the Grand Butterfly March in Jackson Hole.

Maybe the real paradox is this: sometimes the bravest thing we can do is let ourselves be supported.

There are moments when things are not working, when effort feels heavy and nothing is clicking. And then something shifts. Not outside of you, but within you. This conversation is a reminder that the adventure is not in forcing results, but in how we choose to show up, especially on the hard days.

I sat down with Dave Ribble and Gaye Ribble, partners in life and business, to talk about connection, intuition, and building something meaningful together. Dave, author of The Way of the Conscientious Connector and founder of Standout Mastery, shares how one unexpected moment changed the way he approached networking and business forever. Gaye, CEO of Standout Marketing and Strategies, brings a grounded and intuitive perspective on partnership, energy, and growth.

Their story is about love, trust, and choosing a different way when the old way no longer works.

What stayed with me:

• Shift from getting to giving
• Connection grows through curiosity and presence
• Confidence is built through practice, not pressure
• Energy matters more than strategy
• Support and respect create lasting relationships

What would change if you focused on helping just one person today?

Sometimes life does not gently guide us. Sometimes it stops us in our tracks so we can finally listen.

Lisa Bromfield shares what it looked like to have a life that seemed successful on the outside but felt deeply misaligned within. After losing her six figure job, she found herself stepping into something unexpected. Through stillness, meditation, and trusting the quiet voice inside, she began to rebuild a life rooted in purpose, joy, and meaning.

Lisa is a transformational life guide, author, speaker, Reiki practitioner, and death doula. Her work centers on helping people reconnect with their inner wisdom, move through life transitions, and create a life that feels aligned with who they truly are. We explore forgiveness, self trust, the power of small daily shifts, and how nature and silence can guide us back to ourselves.

This conversation is a reminder that what feels like an ending may actually be the beginning of something more true.

Takeaways
• Daily practices like meditation can open the door to deeper guidance
• Losing something can create space for something more aligned
• Forgiveness is the first step before true gratitude can be felt
• Self limiting beliefs keep us stuck in cycles that do not serve us
• Stillness and time in nature help us hear our inner voice more clearly

Sometimes the strongest connection happens when we unplug from everything else.

In this minisode, I reflect on what I call the “original Wi Fi connection” which is the deep soul connection we feel through horses, nature, prayer, presence, and trusting something greater than ourselves. From losing my phone for an entire day to watching my TEDx talk unexpectedly reach thousands of people, I share honest reflections on mental health, entrepreneurship, grief, healing, and learning to come back to what truly matters.

This episode is a reminder that the adventure is happening right now. In the simple moments. In the hard seasons. In the connection we create with ourselves, each other, and the world around us.

In this episode:

• The “original Wi Fi connection” and spiritual presence
• Horses, healing, and nervous system regulation
• Mental health, grief, and asking for support
• Letting go of productivity and reconnecting with simplicity
• Why real connection matters more than constant communication
