On our latest podcast we are unpacking our experience of leading retreats for our local first nations community. In a transparent share, I wanted to talk about what I was given from one of my horses to help me move past my overwhelm of being exposed to the trauma of this nation so I could be present and continue to hold space for this retreat. When are faced with the wounding of life, our world, others, ourselves, it can feel like we are drowning in it, or that it isn't enoug...h what we are offering. It is and just allowing ourself to hold a different lens can offer the opportunity for healing and an anchor for ourselves to keep leading.

Chaos and Coyote Medicine... On our latest podcast we deepen a perspective and share on coyote medicine and the purpose it brings us around chaos. Coyote is the trickster, it is friend or foe, and to understand this medicine is often perhaps hard to do.... Inspired by a wild encounter with a pair of coyotes, I speak about the message I feel coyote is bringing with it's medicine both fr us individually and collectively. Chaos has purpose and medicine if we allow it to teach us.

Reflections of a private retreat... We did something new on our latest podcast episode, having a transparent conversation with a woman who journeyed with us for a week on her recap and what she received from her time here. Permission to lead the space, forgiveness, and an affirmation of her path with horses, we touch on all these points in a transparent and organic conversation that also highlights the gifts of our client.... If you are needing some affirmation and permission of how you lead a space and are curious about the dynamics between horse and human, take a listen.

Purpose as an anchor... The quest for purpose and the knowing of it is an inquiry that moves many of us. We want to know our reason for being and also what is our greatest calling. In my latest podcast episode I explore the conversation around purpose, how we define it, how we know what it is and how we can use it as an anchor and creation point in our lives. ... If you are in the space of asking around the invitation of purpose, take a listen.

Self sacrifice, depletion and burn out are common maladies for space holders and also in life and it doesn't have to be held that way. No one is going to hold space for us except ourselves, this podcast is a transparent share about our own journey with self nourishment and why it is important for us to do so.

A tale of two lead mares... Our latest podcast gives a glimpse of an intense and dominant conversation that has been happening between our current lead mare Aponi and our young one day lead mare Indy. I was curious as I witnessed the conversation that was happening between these two mares and what significance it held for me.... We often judge dominance and intensity. We make up stories around how it is wrong or how being challenged is a negative thing. In our latest podcast we digest this conversation between these two lead mares and highlight the wisdom and medicine of both perspectives. We need to be in the space of challenging our boundaries sometimes, this is how we learn and grow, and we also need to hold our ground and be that force of nature that speaks we are not to be messed with. Some potent wisdom here, if you are a woman who is struggling with her force and power of your wisdom and presence, listen in.

To me fellow women space holders, coaches, healers and facilitators. Do you feel depletion and burn out in how you hold space for your work? Are your tired and perhaps even thinking that you might need to walk away from your work? Our latest podcast episodes offers some brilliant teaching from our lead gelding Chief, on how we as those who hold space can find a new way of doing so in a way that is not depleting or sacrificing of ourselves.
