Take the Reins

Latest Episodes:

Taking a deep breath Dec 22, 2020

Show notes

This episode is not your typical Take the Reins episode. Today's episode was scheduled to be a tissue worthy interview with two incredible horsemen, however, due to technical issues that episode will be released in early 2021. As a result, I use this time to wish you well and take the deep breath that I need as we all head into the remainder of the holiday season.

Show notes

In this episode I share with you the power of belief and how a specific belief I hold helps me navigate my life and horsemanship from a place of trust and reassurance, even during times that it looks like life is working against me.

An honest look Nov 17, 2020

Show notes

In this episode I continue the important conversation around personal awareness. I share another amazing exercise that serves as a personal assessment tool that allows you to take an honest look at where you are in life. This conversation is one that is vital to our continued growth because if you do not know where you are you will not be able to get to where you want to go.

I am honoured to share with you a wonderful conversation that dives deep into our ability to show up in life and for our horses recognizing the role awareness plays in all of our relationships.

We speak about her keyed terms The Human Element and Human Animals in connection with our ability to lead, as well as her four channels of awareness.

This conversation is open, honest, and vulnerable and is a must listen!
