Hello Reader, Is trauma just a buzzword? We label all sorts of things “trauma” or “traumatic.” But what is the definition of trauma? Does it even matter how we classify an incident or experience? On this episode of the Liberated Equestrian Podcast, I'm unpacking what defines trauma and why it is important to have a trauma-informed understanding of behavior. While this episode is tailored for equestrians, the information is applicable for all! We are all at risk of getting stuck in a trauma state, living in highly triggered survival mode. There is another way of existing in this world. There is hope for healing. We can develop a new way of living in this moment, calm and confident. That is why it is so important to take a step back and explore why we do what we do from a trauma-informed lens. From that vantage point, we can find the pathway forward by identifying where we need to stabilize so that we can stabilize and thrive in our humanship and horsemanship. Tune in to this episode #002 of the Liberated Equestrian on your favorite listening app! You'll find the Pod on iTunes, Spotify, YouTube, and with complete show notes at Stableminded.us.

Hello Reader, Does the thought of releasing restrictions bring you comfort or fear? On the one hand, restrictions can be protective and provide safety. But on the other hand, restrictions can be limiting and smothering. In this case, when I'm referring to releasing restrictions, I'm speaking of the tension we hold in our minds and bodies that hinders movement and optimal function. It's an idea that has been on my mind ever since interviewing Cathy Woods for this latest episode of the...

Hello Reader, Continuing the backstory that led to launching the Liberated Equestrian Podcast, in this episode, I’m digging a little bit more into my return to the horse world in the last decade and the lessons learned about listening to my gut. It’s been quite a journey in a relatively short period of time. Yes, it's been a bit of a roller-coaster becoming a second-season equestrian and experiencing everything from the joy of riding again to fulfilling the dream of horse ownership to...
