Episode #23 - The Essence of Being
03/04/25 • 55 min
At some point along the way, many of us come to a point where we ask ourselves, who am I? Who am I really, under all the layers of protection I’ve built - who is under there? Why do I do what I do? Where does my inspiration come from, and what along my path is guiding me toward that awareness. And why horses? For many of us, horses are the ones who guide us into this journey of self inquiry
Most of us are so far removed from our own being that life feels foggy and confusing and hard. In this episode, we dive deeply into exploring the essence of who we are, what gifts we bring to the world, and how horses help us find our way. When we are quiet enough to listen, bold enough to be authentic, and open enough to connect, we rediscover our place as part of the whole - we find harmony. Life becomes more simple, more clear. Even when challenges and obstacles arise, we can soften our grip on the reins, trusting that life is always working in our favor.

Episode #22 - Beyond the Box: How Horses Walk Us Home
In her book, The Tao of Equus, author Linda Kohanov shares her personal journey, revealing that it wasn’t until she fully embraced the wisdom of the horse that she finally felt comfortable being human. With this revelation as a springboard, Episode 22 weaves together, strand by strand, a beautiful story of what it means to be human.
As humans, each of us has the innate capacity to sense truth. In the absence of conflict or resistance, the doorway to wisdom, clarity, and the next possibility opens, and an ancient, lost language re-awakens within us. But somewhere along the line, we forgot.
Hundreds, perhaps thousands, of years ago, our ancestors began building societies. Alongside these advancements came rules and structures that gradually confined humans within societal "boxes," dictating what is considered “right” and “normal.” And eventually, we also began creating our own individual boxes, layering them one within another and burying our true selves beneath countless layers of confinement.
Horses, on the other hand, do not recognize boxes. They see straight through the layers of “stuff” we have accumulated and reveal to us the truth: there are no boxes. They guide us into awareness of how deeply we have sheltered ourselves from ourselves. We are then left with the work of shedding the layers and uncovering our authenticity, as well as supporting others on their own journeys of self-reclamation. Horses have generously agreed to be our guides on this journey, to walk us home, if we let them.

Episode #24 - World Building: Teaching the Tools to Turn Inward
How do we build a new world together - within ourselves, for each other, and for the future? What does it look like? What does it take? What is in our hearts?
Most of us in western societies have silenced our innate sense of self and surrendered our power to cultural norms, structures, and values. This override of our natural state begins unconsciously at a very young age and continues for some of us until the end of our lives.
However, there is a growing community of people who are beginning to reawaken and ask questions like: How do I bring myself back to my heart? and How do I peel back the layers of protection I have built over my authentic self? For each one of us who accepts this challenge of rediscovery, we collectively become better, higher, and more coherent. But it’s work - amazing, painful, beautiful work.
But what if we never left ourselves at all? We have the opportunity to offer this remembrance to our children. They still carry their innate wisdom and untarnished intuition. One of the most profound gifts we can offer future generations is a way to stay rooted in themselves — tools that help them recognize the illusion of disconnection and separation.
Instead of molding them to fit into a societal box, we can invite them to turn inward — to feel what they truly want to create, to honor what is uniquely theirs to bring into the world.
These transcendent conversations open space for new ways of being. Today’s discussion reveals possibilities for building a world aligned with who we truly are and offers a refreshing sense of hope that such a world is not only imaginable, but within reach.
