Today is a vulnerable episode of the significant changes happening in our family.

-My son heads off to college

-My girls start public school for the first time

My horses circled up to support me, (Zelle was basically trying to crawl in my lap), as I read my most recent blog post describing my feelings on all of it.

Change is difficult even when it's really good change.

My emotions spilled over today as the reality continues to hit me.

I hope this episode encourages others that it's never too late to make changes in your life once you realize you want to do something different.

You get to choose the life you live and you don't have to be stuck in one way even if you have done it for a long time.

Let's keep moving toward the things that bring us peace!

This week I have a special guest, Adrienne Weston, join me today on Coffee in the Corral!! 

Be ready to be inspired and amazed at the bravery of this woman as she talks about the trauma she experienced growing up and how she has taken her freedom.

*Trigger Warning: Childhood sexual abuse*

Adrienne is one badass woman with a vital message for the world. She is honest, brave, relatable, engaging and vibrant! She is an unstoppable force using her power to do great things for those in her life path. A huge thank you again to her for being so brave to share her life story with all of us!

Today I share my exciting, new opportunity, “Movement Coaching”, that I am adding to my Freedom For The Taking organization. 

But I am not perfect. I struggle. I have so many toxic thoughts about my body. 

Today I read a letter that I wrote to my body after a frustrating experience. It is raw, honest, and covers the full range of emotions. 

This episode reminds us how important it is to integrate all the parts of ourselves. Our bodies work so hard for us. I am learning to love mine and take better care of her.

I hope this episode encourages you to dig deep. Your body deserves all the love and care you can give it. *hugs*

"Rebuilding isn't the hard part; The tearing out, getting rid of the old, that's the hard part." - Abigail Hobbs

- Story of doing a big siding job with Nate and how I was shocked to learn that it's the dismantling of the job that's the most difficult part.

- Story of my second job with Nate replacing rotten facia board and how I learned it takes a team to keep each other protected and safe.

- Story of how my "simple" recycling project turned into two days, a lot of work, and a lesson about why it's hard to rewire our minds.

- The negative messaging that I am working on deconstructing right now.

Here are some of the takeaways from today's episode:

"Deconstructing always happens before improvement." - Abigail Hobbs

Oh, my goodness get ready for another fantastic interview on today's episode!

- My daughter Tanaya joins me to talk about her life experiences growing up and how things have changed in her world.

Hear about:

- The story of how Tanaya found and bought her first horse Rae-Ana

- Village life as a 7-year-old

- Moving away from all her friends and trying to adjust to Colorado

- The "Bapatised" story ;)

- The difference between how she was as a "good Christian kid" versus having the freedom to learn how to prioritize herself, use her voice, and listen to her body

- Allowing herself the space to process and have feelings in a way that feels right to her

- The challenge of being in a space of self-discovery

- Why do we picture our path through life to be straight????

- Why Tanaya's favorite change in our family is the freedom to be a part of the LGBTQIA+ community and how a simple trip to the Dollar Store turned into Tanaya allowing herself to be disappointed and discovering that she likes weird things!

- Listen to the end to hear Tanaya's message to the world. It isn't about being optimistic. You might be surprised to hear her take on optimism and what she has learned about it in her own personal experience. :)
