This is my first solo podcast episode. I'm planning to do one every couple of months. The theme for these podcast will be how concepts in our horsemanship can also improve our lives.  In this one, I delve into what the Allow means to me when it comes to horsemanship and how it can be a game changer when it comes to living the life you want.  My hope is that you hear things that can improve your time with your horse as well as inspiration for your day to day life.  You can watch the episode here https://youtu.be/66X321OOkiA In the episode, I mention the blog post I wrote a while back of how I broke my back- you can find these posts here: Part 1: https://www.shinealightproductions.net/blog/a-broken-back-and-a-wealth-of-lessons Part 2: https://www.shinealightproductions.net/blog/6-a-broken-back-part-2-the-power-of-perspective If you'd like to join the Learner's Journey newsletter- I'd love to have you! Sign up here
