In this episode, Amber and Shayleigh explore the layered world of human and horse communication, especially in the context of competitive riding. They unpack what’s really driving riders’ choices, often genuine care rather than control, and how that intention can get lost in translation. The conversation expands into the messiness of communication itself, including how personal beliefs shape the way we interpret text-based conversations. They also touch on the skepticism around animal communication and why choosing someone who aligns with your energy and expectations matters more than the method.

“Perspectives” — join us as we dive into the value of different perspectives, questioning the validity of beliefs, viewpoints, and reviews. Plus, we share a fun quick recap about our trip with the mustangs of Salt River, AZ.

In this episode, we dive into the deep (and sometimes surprising) connections between our mindset, health, and personal growth.

Amber introduces her “Mirror in the Stall” program, a 14-step journey that explores self-connection and how our relationships—especially with horses—reflect back to us. We break down the P.A.U.S.E process and why personal perception plays such a huge role in our well-being.

Shayleigh shares insights from her own health journey, exploring the connection between beliefs, mindset, and physical well-being through the lens of Germanic New Medicine.

We unpack how unresolved emotional patterns can manifest in the body and why shifting our internal stories can create real change. This conversation is all about self-discovery, breaking old thought patterns, and stepping into a more connected, intentional way of living.

Podcast Notes: In Honor of Nutmeg – National Squirrel Day Special

  1. Disrespect & Releasing Responsibility:

 • We discussed Mel Robbins’ “Let Them” theory, exploring how stepping back and allowing others to navigate their own experiences can be an act of respect rather than interference.

 • How feeling like we’re helping someone might actually slow down the lessons they’re meant to learn.

 2. Perspectives on Taking Power Back:

 • A nuanced look at the phrase “taking power back” and why it resonates differently for people based on their individual experiences and perspectives.

 3. Signs, Synchronicity, and Pivotal Moments:

 • Shared experiences of moments that feel like déjà vu but are distinct—a deep knowing that a particular moment is pivotal in someone’s journey.

 • How these moments often happen in helping professions or even casual conversations when deep connections are being made.

 4. Manifesting Magic Workshop:

 • Happening now! If you’re catching this in real time, it’s not too late to join. The live workshop is on January 29th, but you’ll receive access to a portal with resources before the live session, so there’s plenty of time to dive in.

New Year, New Magic In this special New Year’s episode, Shayleigh Evans and Amber Lydic come together to celebrate the start of 2025 with inspiring conversations about resolutions, manifestations, and the exciting plans ahead.

We dive deep into the essence of manifesting—exploring how it’s less about asking and more about aligning your energy with your intentions.

Why are you asking for what you want?

How does understanding your “why” impact your ability to receive?

We also share personal goals, expansion plans for 2025, and updates on our Manifesting Magic program. This $97 program has already created life-changing results for participants, with members still celebrating and sharing their successes from last year.
