Andrea also opens up about navigating motherhood while running a business, including the experience of sending her first child to kindergarten during the uncertainty of the COVID years.

This conversation is full of practical insight, honest reflections, and a reminder that protecting your work and your family life often starts with asking the right questions and putting the right agreements in place.

Whether you're a rider, trainer, business owner, or equestrian content creator, this episode will give you a clearer picture of how to stay legally sound in the horse world.

Motherhood changes everything.
Your body. Your priorities. Your ambition. The way you move through the barn. The way you see yourself.

In this deeply honest conversation, Erin Lane shares her journey through a career in horses, pregnancy, pregnancy loss, and the quiet, complicated process of finding herself again on the other side of motherhood.

We talk about:

• Building a life and identity around horses

• Experiencing pregnancy and loss while still showing up professionally

• The grief no one quite knows how to talk about in our industry

• How motherhood reshaped her career goals and daily priorities

• What she’s choosing to focus on, consume, and protect in this season of life

• And what “healing” actually looks like when you’re still in the middle of it

This is a long-form, unfiltered 90-minute conversation about ambition, grief, resilience, and the version of yourself you become after everything shifts.

If you’ve ever felt like you’re rebuilding your identity in the saddle while raising children at home, this episode is for you.
