Sometimes the greatest adventures begin with a quiet moment and an open book.

In this episode, I share a few of the books that are currently inspiring me. Reading helps me slow down, reflect, and reconnect with the deeper adventure unfolding in everyday life.

One book I explore is Spiritual SmackDown: From Victim to Goddess by Jacqueline Shaw. After meeting Jacqueline and having a meaningful conversation together, I felt called to read her memoir. Her story of betrayal, faith, and spiritual transformation is a powerful reminder that even our hardest seasons can open the door to healing and a deeper connection with purpose.

I also share several other books on my reading list including titles about horses, leadership, health, and stories I’m reading with my children. These books invite us to stay curious, keep learning, and remember that growth often begins with a simple question or a new perspective. 

In this episode I explore

• A memoir about faith, healing, and transformation
•  Horse wisdom and human connection
