Mena Canonico And The Power of The Root
On this episode of the Woman Power Zone Podcast Ariel is joined by Mena Canonico who helps people get to the root of their issues in a very unique way and she has an amazing story.
Mena trained with the Coaches Leadership Program
A great question from her Coaches Leadership Program: "What were you born at this time in history to do?"
Another great program: "What is the treasure in the trauma?"
KEY TAKEAWAYS
- The root of where I am today started when my family moved to Liberty Street on a 10-acre farm when I was 6 years old and our neighbours had horses. I immediately fell in love and I pestered my parents until they brought a horse for me, called Lady. Everything was lovely until one day when I was riding her near the road and a tractor trailer came by, spooked her, she reared up, I came off, she ran and hit a fence with barbed wire attached. In that moment I felt completely powerless, abandoned, helpless, at a loss. I don’t think I truly realised how traumatic it was for me, but I made the decision never to ride horses again. Not long after that my parents split up, sold the farm and I was away from horses for 24 years.
- I worked in corporate for 16 years and I realised that this was not what I wanted to be doing. So, I started looking around to figure out what I wanted to do with the rest of my life. I started asking questions and reading books, finally I discovered life coaching and went to an information session and immediately knew this was it. From there I was put forward for the leadership training program, which is $10,000 in 2005. I didn’t see myself as a leader at all, but I took the program after being packaged out of the job I was at, which afforded me the $10k. That was the catalyst for me to take a leap of faith and leave corporate almost 17 years ago now.
- I started going into schools talking to youths about being real and authentic. As I was doing that, people asked if there was anything I could do just for the girls. Through that I got connected to a 15 year old girl in Florida in 2009 who said she wanted to interview me but she was really there to open my eyes to the fact that horses have these incredible gifts. Horses saved her life, they help you get grounded and help you get grounded, get focussed, you become a better leader, a better partner, and at 15 she was doing clinics for kids who had ADHD and autism.
- I made it my mission to overcome my fear and incorporate horses into my business and my life’s work, to help remind women of how incredibly powerful we are. Also that every single traumatic experience we’ve ever had, we can look at it differently and we can look for the treasure in that trauma.
BEST MOMENTS
“For my whole life I believed that I was not good enough because I was a girl, which I think many of us buy into that… until we don’t.”
“I was born at this time in history to show people how to take off their masks and be real.”
“My destiny was formed the moment I fell off my horse, Lady.”
“None of us are immune from imposter syndrome, you might as well let go of that idea, the more work you can do on yourself the more people you’re going to be able to become empowered.”
