The Backstory of Breakthrough

The Backstory of Breakthrough


We're kicking off the Liberated Equestrian Podcast with a bit of the backstory of breakthrough that birthed the inspiration for this podcast! It's a story of childhood inspiration and fairy-tale dreams. It's a story of dashed dreams and embracing the reality of hard work, detours, and other realized dreams. It's a story of open doors and closed ones.


While I may not be "riding my horse to the mailbox," I'm grateful for the destinations on this journey that led to becoming a second-season equestrian and mental health professional specializing in equine-assisted services. So here I find myself recounting the journey with horses and humans that tell a story of learning and growth, loss and disappointment, hope and redemption, with the hope of helping you find your way forward. As I say in this episode . . .


It is time for breaking moments to be your breakthrough.


The Liberated Equestrian is really about turning those moments that could break you into the kind of breakthrough that leads to freedom and growth. Whether that breakthrough occurs with the support of counseling, which was critical for my own healing, or simply the education you'll find on this podcast, at stableminded.us, and through joining the Liberated Equestrian Community, the goal is for you to be able to identify what you need to move forward and enjoy your life with horses . . . and humans! In this place of belonging, with other liberated equestrians, may you find the courage to find your voice, pursue healing, and be transformed in your horsesmanship and humanship.
