This week on Coffee in the Corral I invite you to sit with Abigail as she shares with courage and vulnerability. If you desire to know what true authenticity and deep, life-changing healing look like, today’s your day. This gem is the real deal and this front-row seat in her corral is an honor.

This week I had jury duty. 

I was not prepared for what I would experience inside that courtroom.

I don’t suppose we are ever truly prepared for the things that trigger us.

This episode I share:

Be ready for a delightful, fun-filled conversation that is sure to spark your curiosity and take you as deep as your water trough goes. 😉

Tanaya shares with us a recent experience she had while doing outside chores. The awareness she has developed is quite impressive for a 16-year-old and she challenges the rest of us to pay more attention to our bodies.

Listen to this week’s episode to learn how to not only notice the messages you tell yourself but also how to find a better way forward.

I may be partial, but I’m pretty sure Tanaya is one of the wisest 16-year-olds I have ever known. I guess you will have to listen and find out for yourself! 🙂

It’s a chilly day here at the ranch and Vallie Ren joins me for snuggles as I podcast behind the barn.

Today I discuss:

This week Nate and I are celebrating our 20th anniversary! Listen to this week’s episode to hear about our cheap getaway and why we are happier now than we have ever been.

I want everyone to know:

It’s never too late to restructure your relationships.

It’s never too late to rebuild your life.

It’s never too late to revisit your past and find healing.

 I also share about my new adventure of becoming a substitute teacher and how I am using it as an opportunity to be an undercover Zebra Coach!

Lessons learned from an avid, adventure queen!

And she’s back folks! A fan favorite, and delightful friend of mine, Allison Short, comes back on the podcast this week to share about her recent cycling adventure! If you love a good challenge, love trying new things, or are trying to learn how to get out of your comfort zone, this episode is for you!

Today Allison shares with us:

Her preparation and plan for a cross-country cycling trip

The unexpected, challenging aspects of long-distance cycling 

When and why she finally decided to pivot

The beauty of knowing what feels best to you 

Are we making the choice or are we just choosing what we are programmed to do?

Allison’s discovery of a new exercise routine

How different people nod their heads…

The cool way bikers respect and encourage cyclists!

I could chat with Allison all day. She always brings such great stories and lessons we can all relate to and learn from. She is fucking cool, super funny, beautifully genuine, and badass as shit! I hope you enjoy this episode as much as I did. I’m sure you will.

Hey! I am back home from my solo motorcycle trip and eager to share some things I learned!

This episode I discuss:

This is the guest that I have been dying to have on my podcast since I started podcasting two years ago!

My dearest friend and lifetime mentor, Rayna Granger, joins me this week to share her story but instead of being in my corral, I got to join Rayna in her corral along with her lovely animals!

Rayna is a highly accomplished horsewoman who has spent her life learning how to be a beautiful partner for her horses while also generously sharing her wisdom with others. I met Rayna 14 years ago at one of her horsemanship clinics, and since then we have become very close friends.

Today Rayna shares:

How she learned to protect her peace due to a childhood filled with turmoil

Her first experience on a horse

Her many learning opportunities with multiple, well-known trainers and what she learned

How horsemanship has shaped her into the woman she is today

The beauty of flowing with the lesson that comes

The way Rayna sets boundaries and knows when it’s time to let go of relationships

“It’s okay to be selective”

Why we don’t have to be afraid of being selfish

How to honor your path

The answer Rayna responds with when someone asks her, “What do you do?”

How Rayna’s dad taught her to have unlimited thinking

This conversation meant SO much to me. Rayna has been inspiring and encouraging me for many years and I am so delighted that I finally get to share her with my podcast peeps. Her calm, wise, beautiful demeanor will fill your soul while her witty, joyful self is sure to have you smiling up a storm.

She’s the real deal folks. Genuine as they come. I am deeply grateful for her friendship.

One of the books Rayna mentions that she loves:

“Who Moved My Cheese?” by Dr. Spencer Johnson

A reconnecting and insightful conversation with my dear friend, Faith Lee.

I am so delighted to bring you this beautiful conversation with the beautiful Faith Lee! Faith and I go back a LONG way. When she was 14 years old, her family lived in community with my family inside the religious cult, Rose Creek Village. 

Now, almost 16 years later, we finally had the opportunity to reconnect. It was a wonderful reunion and Faith was brave and kind enough to join me on my podcast to share her story. Faith shares her journey to adulthood which eventually led to her discovery of being queer. Each of us has our own important, unique story but we can all relate to the difficulty of truly finding ourselves. 

Faith is gentle, strong, wise, and knows her worth. Don’t let her soft voice fool you. Through life’s struggles, she has learned well how to love herself. Faith is another beautiful badass out there doing her work. She’s exactly the kind of person we all need on our team!

Check out one of her favorite films: “Everything, Everywhere, All At Once”

Today I find comfort in podcasting with my favorite 3 C’s of life:

This episode I discuss a recent bad luck situation that triggered my trauma and threw me into a bit of a tail spin. But instead of shaming myself and shoving downt the uncomfortable feelings, I tried something different. 

I tried feeling them.

And I learned something valuable. 

I hope this episode gives you permission to be angry - to be disappointed - to be pissed - to be frustrated - to be hurt. 

Remember, “We cannot heal what we cannot feel.”

I will be hopefully be on my motorcycle freedom trip next week so feel free to browse and listen to past episodes of Coffee in the Corral.

 And please share with another human if this episode was helpful to you!

Hello my lovelies! This week I share about my struggle with living in constant stress due to my unrealistic To-Do List that only grows longer each day. 

I discuss:

How my mum flowers are teaching me to pay attention to where my energy is going

The unrelenting To-Do List that becomes a tsunami

A heartbreaking lesson I learned from a little horse rider in tears

Why we are all like that little girl

My upcoming motorcycle adventure and why I’m excited but terrified

Next week I will be gone so there will not be an episode coming out. Please feel free to circle back to a favorite of yours or try out some of my favorite podcasts listed below!

“We Can Do Hard Things” -Glennon Doyle (I always learn a lot from this podcast. Sometimes it’s hard stuff and sometimes it has me laughing out loud!)

“The Gathering Room” - Martha Beck (So helpful in rewiring my brain. I love all her stuff!)

“Getting Curious” - Jonathan Van Ness (Definitely challenges me to learn new things, get out of my comfort zone, and value true authenticity!) 

“Handsome” - Tig Nataro, Fortune Feimster, Mae Martin (I love this one for light entertainment although sometimes they go deep and I always love that.) 

Or you can just search for any interviews with Britt Frank or Richard Schwartz. These two are amazing experts in their field and you cannot help but learn some cool shit from them!

Here is the Martha Beck interview that I mentioned at the end of my podcast:
