Today we shake things up and do an interactive walk around my front pasture with Zelle!
In this “Trek to Connect” I learned:
To discard my fear of being messed up
I have a hard time not micromanaging my kids and I need to let them find their way (I learned this by trying to help Zelle find the carrot 🙂)
That my overthinking is making me tired
To let go of my worry that I am not capable of handling all the big changes
I need to take time to allow the answers to come
How grateful I am for the things Zelle teaches me
Zelle was my mirror today and I realized that I tend to burst from one thing to the next and carry stress and anxiety with me
Taking time to be a” human-being” instead of a “human-doing” can help ground me and give me time for my fears to subside
Balancing my life is not about not falling off; it's how I treat myself when I do lose my balance
Today’s session was really good for me. I hope you too find value in it.
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!

My recent near-death experience when I ran in the heat of the day

The unreality of being ageless

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 shares about her job and why she loves it so much. Her passion is almost palpable as she explains how meaningful it is.
We hear about her best friend, her painful childhood, the dysfunctional family dynamics, and how it all turned into her being responsible for whether her dad went to prison or not. It’s a heart-wrenching story but I know there are many of us who can relate in some way.
Then we get to hear about how Adrienne started taking her power back and finally deciding to say “Fuck No!” It’s so inspiring to hear how she is actively seeking healing and rewriting the story for her own kids.
It’s a difficult listen sometimes but I promise you, it’s worth it. This lady is a shining example that nobody has to ever stay stuck in a toxic way of living when they decide they are done with it.
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*
