A little while back, I got to chatting with Lee McLean. At the time, I'd just released a conversation about the things I turn to when the world feels hard or tense, and we were discussing how the lessons we learn with horses often translate into everyday life. I found the conversation so engaging that I asked her to come on the podcast so we could share our thoughts with all of you.

For those who don't know Lee, she's a passionate horsewoman who "talks, thinks, and dreams horses non-stop." Many of you may know her through her business and writings, much of which she shares on her Facebook page, Keystone Equine.

During our time together, we talk about:

• The lessons we've learned from our horses and how they support us in navigating daily life
• The nature of self-care (and our struggles with it)
• How we handle criticism
• Staying sane in the online world

It was such a pleasure to spend time with Lee- I hope you enjoy our conversation as much as I did.

You can find Lee on her Facebook page here.

A few days back, I wrote a list of things that I had mused on, read, or noted down to consider when the world feels hard or tense.

I shared it first on Facebook, and then when the time came for our live Q&A in my membership program, JoyRide, I decided to share it there as well.

Today's episode is a repeat of that conversation. It's neither conclusive nor definitive, but I think gives us some ideas that we can hold close to inform our action and behavior as we're moving through the world.

I hope it's useful in some way, thanks for listening!

Fabulous souls, we are back with our second to last Christmas Conversation and it's another (christmas) cracker (I couldn't help adding that in there).

I'm so blessed to be joined by the wonderful trio that is Kimberly Carter, Brigid Piccaro & Terry Kuebler. In all truth, I don't know how to reduce the vast expanse of ground we covered over the course of our time together, so I will leave you to listen to it instead!

I hope you enjoy it, happy listening!
