What Horses, Death, and Nature Taught Me About Being Human | Kelly Wendorf

What Horses, Death, and Nature Taught Me About Being Human | Kelly Wendorf

What if the life you built… no longer feels like yours?


In this powerful episode, Kelly Wendorf joins Chip Conley for a raw conversation about loss, identity, and the moment everything shifts. From caring for a dying parent to rediscovering yourself through nature, this episode goes straight to the heart of what it means to truly live.


Here’s what you’ll take away:

  • Why success can still leave you feeling empty
  • How facing death reshapes how you see life
  • What “rewilding” really means and why it matters
  • How nature (and horses) reflect who you really are

If you’re going through a big shift, dealing with loss, or just feeling like something’s off—this one will really hit.
