Fabulous souls, we are back with our second to last Christmas Conversation and it's another (christmas) cracker (I couldn't help adding that in there).

I'm so blessed to be joined by the wonderful trio that is Kimberly Carter, Brigid Piccaro & Terry Kuebler. In all truth, I don't know how to reduce the vast expanse of ground we covered over the course of our time together, so I will leave you to listen to it instead!

I hope you enjoy it, happy listening!

For the month of December, I've gathered together some of my favourite people for a Christmas Conversations Series including my three incredible friends who joined me today- Karen Rohlf, Kathleen Beckham and Barbra Schulte.

Together, we answered the following questions:

What have you held close this year?

What has anchored you?

What are you being called towards?

What would you like to share?

Hand on heart, I think this is one of my favourite conversations I've been part of- I really hope you enjoy it!

Happy listening!

When I was considering what overwhelm feels like as an experience in the body, the image that came to mind was one of foggy, misty cliffs; a landscape where we are aware of what lies in front of us but where the weather patterns at play are preventing us from getting a clear sense of the path that we should follow and the direction we should head.

In other words, the experience of overwhelm is immobilising and removes us from the ability to act. 

In this episode, we discuss the atmospheric experience of overwhelm including:

• The indecisiveness of overwhelm, and how this creates a negative loop that compounds on itself
• Nervous system considerations when navigating overwhelm and how listening to your body is not always the best way forward
• Reclaiming agency and voice, and creating space between you and the experience of overwhelm

I hope you find it useful!

Thanks for listening,

What does it mean to begin?

What gets in the way of us beginning again?

How can we approach beginning with tenderness?

This episode is a contemplation, meditation on beginnings; on the challenges we face, the stories we tell ourselves, beginning as an art in and of itself.

I hope you find it useful in some way,

In this episode, I mention an online gathering called Circle. If you are interested in joining us or learning more, you can do so here.

Since the Western States Horse Expo, Barb and I have spent a lot of time chatting on zoom about life, horses, and the universe. Inevitably, there are many crossovers in our work; patterns and experiences we come across that inform how we approach things, beliefs and understandings that we witness either support people moving forward, or conversely, get in the way.

Our conversations on confidence led us back to a foundational piece— of being enough. This idea that ‘I am enough’ is a fundamental understanding to have and embody if we are to find ways of unpicking challenging situations, to take consistent action in support of what we love, and to rest in a place where we are able to advocate for ourselves and our horses.

 And yet there is so much that gets in the way of us not only thinking that but believing in our own enough-ness.   

 We are so passionate about this conversation that shortly (next week!) we are holding a workshop with an additional mentoring option that we have called ‘On Being Enough: Exploring the Hearth Of Confidence with Horses & With Yourself’.

 In this episode, I am joined by Barbra Schulte to talk about what we mean when we say the word ‘confidence’ and how it is we go about developing a sense of ‘enough-ness’

 I hope you enjoy it, you can tune in by searching the Confident Rider Podcast on your fave podcast app or via the link below.

Over the course of 3 days at the Western States Horse Expo, I presented a series of one-hour presentations that spanned everything from returning from injury, to processing big emotions, to looking at the way the nervous system affects our biomechanics. My designated area was the Mind, Body, Spirit tent, one of 3 presentation and seminar tents that sat next to the main arena.

The overall expo lineup was a big one. Each time slot was filled with options of coaches, trainers and clinicians that felt impossible to choose from- and yet despite this the Mind, Body, Spirit tent remained one of the most well frequented and packed out of the entire event.

 From a personal perspective, my time at the expo was brilliant in no small part to the people I got to share it with-- so when we had the thought to discuss what it meant for the horse industry to include a focus on all things mind, body & spirit, it felt only right to do so together with some of my crew!

Consequently, this episode is something of a podcast party! I’m joined by the incredible Brigid Piccaro, Terry Kuebler, Lori Justin, Joelle Dunlap, Robyn Schiller & Christine Dickson. Our conversation spans a lot of territory, kicking off with what it means to have such large events include conversations that span outside what traditionally might be expected.

I hope you enjoy it!
