In this episode I discuss how our unwanted experiences can function as mirrors showing us parts of ourselves that we may not have accepted, understood, or loved. I share how this happens for me and all of us, and how it can help us move into more self empowered and truer versions of who we really are.

In it, I share video-based insights, teachings, and stories related to my riding, horses, my life in Montana, the journey of following ourselves and the callings of our deepest dreams, and ultimately becoming the self-empowered sovereign creator beings that we truly are.  Check it out on the link below or search YouTube for Michelle Waldo.

Today I talk about what happened on my last day of getting my second horse home, and the days following that epic adventure of following my deepest knowing. I share how I was elated at following my guidance and facing my fears on that journey, and yet right after that, some other "cans of worms" came up that I felt simply tired and and frustrated at being asked to now address.  

I talk in this episode about how that can happen after we make a big jump in following our deepest guidance and why it can feel like a new "worm can" is now coming up when all we may want to do is catch a break. I discuss what I've learned about why this happens, what's really going on, and what how we can better support ourselves in these experiences.

This episode wraps up a series of episodes (starting with Ep. 52) in which I went on a physical journey to get a second horse. But it was more than a journey to get a horse. It was a spiritual calling -- a huge step on my path of following my deepest knowing despite any and all fears and doubts and uncertainties. And so with the culmination of this "physical" journey, I experience new profound insights at a deep energetic and emotional level about how we don't ever need to seek things outside of ourselves to feel good. To feel our power. To feel our true worth. That it is all truly already within us. And while these are things I've known conceptually and shared on this podcast, in today's episode I feel them at a much deeper level at the core of my being. And as a result, my life changes in many new and exciting ways. Tune in to hear about my journey.

Today I also announce the release of Episode 2 of my Riding From the Inside Out video program on YouTube, which aligns with the Following Yourself Podcast and shares insights, teachings, and stories related to my riding, horses, my life now in Montana, following ourselves, and ultimately following the callings of our deepest dreams.  In this episode I unexpectedly am called to do a Connecting Inward session on video, which gives me insights into a scary situation with my horse that I hadn't been able to understand until doing so. Check it out on the link below or search YouTube for Michelle Waldo.

In this episode, I continue to share my day by day journey of going to get my second horse (as part of a multi-episode series that started with episode 52). I talk about how I woke up feeling triggered, and needing to stop and connect into myself and feel what was coming up. But because I felt pressure to get started on my long drive, I didn't do that and a whole host of situations came up as a result.

Today I also announce that I have officially launched my new video program called Riding From the Inside Out on YouTube, which aligns with the Following Yourself Podcast and shares my insights, teachings, and stories related to my riding, horses, following ourselves and ultimately following our deepest dreams.  Check it out at: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCD46lOT2RjEcdOMImRKBI9Q

In this episode I continue to share my daily experiences following my deepest guidance in getting a second horse (this is part of a multi series of episodes starting with Ep. 52).

As part of this I share how even though I knew I was called to get this horse from the deepest part of myself and my highest inner knowing, I still had major doubts and fears come up right as I was about to make the final decision. I talk about how this can happen on our journey of following our deepest selves, and what I've learned about this part of our path.

In this episode I talk about our need to feel in control. What role control plays in our minds and thoughts, and how we've been conditioned to want to be in control in order to feel safe or loved or get what we think we want.

As part of this I talk about what happens when we get called from our deepest selves to do something - and yet we DON'T follow it - due to uncertainty, doubts, or fear. And I talk about a major journey I am embarking on to follow my deepest knowing (after not doing it previously) and I explain how I'll be taking you, step by step, along this journey with me as I do so.

In this episode, which is a follow-up to Ep. 50, I talk about getting to the other side of a hard and challenging time. What it's like when you feel like you can't get through or you're really struggling (described in Ep 50) and then when you DO get to the other side. I discuss what it's like, how you can come to better understand these experiences and navigate them moving forward, and more.

I talk about how we can feel at pivotal times like our lives are crumbing and falling apart and nothing is working. We may feel extreme fear or even panic. We may also feel like our guidance is gone, and that we are all alone. I discuss what is really happening at times like these, and what I've learned we can do to support ourselves through these experiences.
