🎧 What a 1,200-pound mirror just taught me about myself (and it stung)


Hi Reader,

I'm thrilled to share my latest episode of Don't Step on the Bluebells featuring Certified Equus Coach and truth-teller Sue Willoughby. In How Horses Reflect What We Can't See About Ourselves, we explore the transformative world of equine-assisted coaching and why these magnificent animals might hold the mirror we've been avoiding.

I recorded this conversation fresh off my own retreat with horses, and let me tell you - having a horse completely ignore your attempts at connection and then walk right up to you the moment you let go of your agenda? That kind of embodied wisdom bypasses years of intellectual understanding.

If you've ever:

  • Done a lot of inner work but still feel stuck in the same patterns
  • Understood your issues intellectually without being able to shift them
  • Struggled with boundaries, neediness, or the constant need to be liked
  • Felt like you've lost yourself after years of playing roles for others
  • Been told you're playing small but don't know how to show up differently

...this conversation offers breakthroughs that happen in your body, not just your mind.

You'll discover:

  • Why horses can detect the gap between what you say and what you actually feel
  • How a 10-minute experience with a horse can create shifts that take months in talk therapy
  • Why authentic leadership looks nothing like what most of us were taught
  • The transformative power of approaching life with "beginner's eyes"

As Sue beautifully shares: "Our bodies hold every experience that we've ever had, that's what the horses are seeing and feeling and becoming part of." These aren't intellectual insights - they're the kind of truth that lands in your bones and changes how you move through the world.

With love,

Amanda

Hi Reader, Sometimes the thing we're desperately seeking is right there, waiting for us to stop grasping for it. I'm just back from a wild two-week trip through America's Southwest. The red rock mountains of Sedona, the breathtaking expanse of the Grand Canyon, vast desert landscapes that stretch endlessly before the next town appears. Remarkable feels too small a word for what I experienced. But the real revelation came during my last few days at the sacred Buffalo Spirit Ranch in the Sangre...
