In this episode of The Mindful Equestrian Podcast, I dive deep into the power of perspective—how the stories we tell ourselves shape our experience in the saddle and in life. I reflect on my own cancer diagnosis and how shifting my internal narrative helped me move forward, not from denial but from a place of clarity and self-compassion.

I also share insights sparked by recent Hidden Brain episodes and how Stoic philosophy reminds us that control lies not in what happens, but how we respond. Whether it's a disappointing ride or a life-altering challenge, we are the authors of our story—and we get to decide how that story continues.

Inspired by recent episodes of Hidden Brain, including:
