I could call this episode “everything I wish I’d said in Episode 109” because it includes all the things that came to me on the topic of alter egos after recording the last episode. In this episode, I’ll share some of the problems with creating an alter ego and why you should aim to outgrow your alter ego.

Here on the Rider’s Mind Podcast, we talk a lot about our minds and how what we have going on up top impacts our horses. Today we are taking a different twist and talking with physiotherapist Keira Forsyth from Equus Physio about how the rider’s body and potential asymmetries impact the horse. Interestingly enough, working on our bodies also benefits the mind!

It’s important to be able to manage your nervous system and recognize how you’re showing up throughout the week.

I get a kick out of reading all of the suggestions given when someone asks how to deal with nervousness. There are always lots of suggestions, but most of them are “first aid” responses. You can do first aid for nervousness when it hits, but you can also get to the root of the issue.  In this episode, I talk about both ways to deal with nervousness.
