  • Different Makes us Human w/ Alyssa Cleland
    Alyssa was born in Ukraine, & then adopted at the age of 4, where she moved to the US to be with her new family. She has a rare condition (1 in 1,000,000) called Paraxial Tibial Hemimelia which caused her right tibia (large, lower leg bone; aka “shin”) to not develop. Because of this, she had to have her right lower leg amputated so she could wear prosthetics & walk. Coupled with PTH, she also has Ectrodactyly, which caused her to only have 4 four fingers on each hand, with the middle finger being the missing digit. Ectrodactyly is often seen with PTH but can also come alone, & in many different variations/severities.  Aside from para-dressage, she leads a very normal life. Social media is her full-time job, where she works to bridge the gap between two leggers & amputees. Alyssa started her journey on social media over 4 years ago, sharing about the everyday struggles that an amputee goes through to live a normal life. Being authentic is the number one goal, & being able to share the good & bad times that come with life, & a disability has been at the forefront of her social media platform.

  • Saying Yes to Growth w/Kaitline Soule

    Kaitlin Is a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist, a Women’s Empowerment Coach, AnxietyExpert, Author, and (as she says) a bit of a hot mess mama/human!
    Kaitlin lives in Petaluma (just north of San Francisco) where she runs a private practice that
    specializes in providing innovative and evidence-based treatment for Anxiety Disorders,
    Depression, OCD, and Trauma, and helping people change the thinking and behavioral patterns that are keeping them “stuck” from living well.
    Kaitlin recently launched a coaching practice, separate from her therapy practice, so she can
    help modern women (who don’t necessarily have a mental health diagnosis) do the work of
    becoming a little less of a hot mess by getting out of their heads and into their lives! Kaitlin has just completed her first book called, “A little less of a hot mess…The Modern Mom’s Guide to Growth and Evolution,” and it will launch in early 2022!
    She is on a mission to empower people to move towards a life that is led by their values (the
    stuff they care about the most) instead of their limiting beliefs and fear of the unknown.
    Kaitlin believes that mental health diagnosis or not, life is both uncertain AND challenging and we all will struggle with limiting beliefs, self-doubt, and worry at some point in our life –
    however, we don’t have to let the stories we tell ourselves, or our past experiences control out
    life’s direction! Kaitlin believes we are all capable of “grabbing the wheel” and leading ourselves (imperfectly) towards our most joyful and meaningful lives!
    You can follow Kaitlin on Instagram @wellnotesbykaitlin.com and find out about her online
    coaching and workshop offerings on her website www.wellnotesbykaitlin.com! You can also
    listen to her podcast, called “A little Less of A Hot Mess,” where she shares real conversations
    with experts in the field of psychology and wellness and hosts mini-coaching sessions to
    empower everyday women to find their version of more!
