118 - How Horses Help Us Heal: Nature-Based Nervous System Regulation with Jackie Stevenson


Listen Later

Horses don’t just sense our emotions - they help regulate them. And today, you’ll hear how.


In this powerful and heartfelt episode, host Elizabeth Mintun sits down with Jackie Stevenson, a therapist, coach, and equine-guided practitioner whose work blends nature, nervous system wisdom, and the profound presence of horses. Together, they explore how stepping into the world of the herd invites us to slow down, become present, and reconnect with the deeper layers of ourselves that often get buried beneath stress and daily life.


Whether you’re curious about equine-guided practices, seeking a deeper relationship with nature, or longing for a grounded way to reconnect with yourself, this episode offers a rich, expansive invitation to return home to your own presence.


Key Takeaways


Healing deepens when we are invited (not pressured) into connection.
Letting go of a rigid agenda makes room for meaningful surprise, insight, and transformation.
Small, subtle moments can be just as impactful as the dramatic ones.
