Join me as I sit down with Dayna Hammond, founder of the Parsons Animal Rescue Foundation, for a conversation about trauma, trust, and what it means to find your way back to hope.

Dayna shares her life’s mission and how building a sanctuary for abused and neglected horses has led to some of the most profound lessons in presence, partnership, and healing. 

In this episode, we cover:

• Dayna’s journey from burnout and paralysis to purpose
• The moment that changed everything
• The emotional, physical, and spiritual healing process of rescue horses
• How horses mirror our truth and invite deep self-awareness
• Why connection, not performance, is the truest measure of a horse’s value
• The rise of equine therapy and how to pursue it safely
• Her experience in Texas and how it shaped the next phase of her mission
• The importance of grounding, energy hygiene, and releasing what isn’t yours
