In this episode of The Being Herd Podcast Angela and Nica return to discuss the potent layers of change in relation to business and becoming. Their new venture of supporting heart lead entrepreneurs come into alignment with who they are so that they can be more effective in their work is very inspiring to me. In this episode we touch on different aspects of life as they pertain to developing from the inside out:

A few themes discussed in this episode:
- Who are we, now?
- Who are we becoming?
- Business as a reflection.
- Wearing skins which don't fit.
- How to step into a life where passion pays the bills.

I hope you find inspiration and encouragement from this episode, to connect with yourself and life around you (including the horses) from a deep, rich perspective.

Thank you for listening!

This week on the Being Herd Podcast we have two guests with us! Zoha Jung and Carina Maiwald.

Zoha is the founder of The Backwater Sanctuary, a non-profit rehabilitation and rescue sanctuary based in Kabini, India. Zoha's drive and passion for equine / animal welfare is an inspiration. Her commitment to creating a safe space for animals to be who they are, and to ultimately thrive is a testament to her core values and belief in the possibility and magic of healing. She is also my cousin so I feel very grateful to have a member of my family on the pod!

Carina is a multi award winning Equine Photographer, healer, and inspiration as well. To me she embodies truth, courage, intuition, and presence in one of the most profound ways I have seen to date. Her passion for sharing the truth of the horses she is photographing instills a sense of deep magic into the framework of her purpose. She is also passionate about capturing and sharing the beauty of the journey horses go through in their healing.

Together Zoha and Carina are forces of nature. In this episode we hear them give their perspectives on what it is like to share the stories of equines who are healing to an audience who primarily values pleasing aesthetics. We also discuss equine sensitivity and the magical, synchronistic healing journey of Hector who Carina recently worked with at the Sanctuary.

This week on the Being Herd Podcast we are joined by twins Erika and Jessica. Both healers and animal listeners in their own right Erika and Jessica have come together to create The Twinergy Method - a selection based holistic approach to healing which focusses on the animal's ability to heal themselves.

Erika and Jessica each have their own magic which they bring to the Twinergy approach including sound therapy, reiki, mindfulness, the trust technique, plant medicine, LITL, and more. Jessica also offers specific support with animals processing grief.

In this episode we discuss Erika and Jessie's individual journeys, the art of listening, what presence really means from their perspective, and how the animals encourage us to listen deeply at every turn on the path.

Nica Quinn - horsewoman, artist, and channel - returns to the Being Herd podcast! This time the conversation flows in a slightly different direction as Nica shares with us where she is on her journey of website creation and how she sees the building of worlds to be a contributing factor to shifting the equine industry into a more healing and harmonious place. We discuss the power of sharing our unique gifts with the world, the importance of leaning into sensitivity and how the internet in general is a reflection and bridge within layers of our human consciousness, in a similar way to how the horses hold space for us to 'come online' to who we are.

Enjoy and thank you for listening!

In this episode we are joined by Rachel Knott from My Animal Matters! Rachel is an intuitive animal communicator, practitioner and teacher of applied zoopharmacognosy, creator of her wonderful online shop through which she sells an array of essential oils, herbs & minerals, hydrosols, and more. In this episode Rachel and I discuss the power of seeing everything in our lives as feedback, even when we may not consider it to be initially. Rachel shares her views on animals as a mirror for our evolution and we also have a chat with her amazing canine companion Darcy!

Darcy reminds us that in life there is really only one thing to 'let go of' and that is the idea of letting go in and of itself. It was such a pleasure to bring Darcy onto the podcast and I loved hearing the profound love in her simple, to the point answers to my questions. May this episode be a reminder to all of us that the feedback of life is all around us, all we need to 'do' is BE and LISTEN.

Thank you Rachel & Darcy!

And thank you for listening.

In this episode I am joined by bodyworker and healer Laura Shakeshaft. Laura is a multi-faceted practitioner who utilises her wide range of modalities to help bring balance, harmony, rhythm, and safety to horses and humans. Based in South Wales Laura has been treating my herd of horses since their move in October 2024. I have been very impressed with Laura's expanse of knowledge and experience which is why I asked her to join us on the podcast. In this episode Laura and I discuss her less well known modality - Amnanda.

Amnanda is an Ayurvedic treatment combining the use of specific oil combinations, very light hands on touch, mantra, and intention. Treatments span over a period of 12 months with monthly sessions enabling the body to settle into the framework over a consistent period of time. Amnanda stems from an ancient Tibetan lineage and is a highly effective and encouraging approach to sustainable healing.

Laura and I also touch on the power of cultivating safety, horses' innate healing intelligence within the body, and what is means to get out our own way when it comes to being a practitioner.

As of today, Laura is the only practitioner working with animals in Europe. She is running courses in South Wales and other areas of the UK throughout the year.

Thank you for listening!
