Today, McKayla and Camri discuss doing what is required versus doing what is easy to get the results you want. It is nearing the end of January, and many of us are starting to feel the wane in motivational energy. This is where dedication needs to happen to see the results you are ready for!

Recently, Camri had a Facebook post go viral which had a photo of a sign that stated this:
NOTICE!
This property is a farm!
Farm animals:
Make noise, smell bad, and have sex outdoors.
Unless you can tolerate noise, odors, and outdoor sex,
Don't buy property next to a farm!
This post brought out a lot of animosity between farmers/livestock owners and city folks or non-livestock owners. McKayla and Camri discuss how to handle a situation where you either have livestock in the city, or if a development moves in near your farm/property. Much of what we discuss has to do with frontloading with kindness, establishing clear communication, educating and not vilifying, and more.
We should also add, today we announce the winner of our GIVEAWAY! Stay tuned to hear who won an Amazon gift card!

Today, McKayla and I spend some time reflecting on what we learned with our intentions and focuses from 2023. McKayla focused on extreme ownership, while I focused on an African word, "Sawubona", which means "I see you." Each of us were able to learn things throughout the year that helped us in our daily lives.
Then we dive into our focuses for this year. Listen to this episode to hear about what we chose to focus on for 2024!

Merry Christmas from Camri and McKayla!
Today we talk about what a typical day looks like for each of us with horses. Mckayla covers what the life of a more typical horsewoman looks like caring for two horses and goes into exactly what she feeds, how long it takes, and how much it costs per day to have her horses.
Then Camri discusses the day in the life of a horse trainer with many more horses under her belt.
Biggest takeaway: the time, money, and energy it takes to care for horses will depend greatly on what you choose to do with them and the current setup you have.

Today, McKayla and I dive into Libbie Zenger’s experiences with what she calls mid-life horsewomanship. She describes what it’s like dealing with the fear of trying something new, as she gentled and started her first horse at the age of 42. She shares so many golden nuggets of wisdom and how she hasn’t let victory or defeat define her. We hope you enjoy her story as much as we did!
