Deb Lee-Furness has dedicated her life to helping others heal—through horses, nature, and regenerative practice. In this episode, she opens up about her personal journey, from early farm life to establishing a center where equine therapy helps children, families, and trauma survivors reconnect to themselves and the world around them. With warmth and wisdom, Deb explains why horses are such powerful teachers, and how her work integrates ecology, psychology, and community renewal. It's a conversation that blends science, spirit, and deep care for people and place.
