From Stable Yard to Thriving Mindset with Tara Punter

  What happens when you stop following the “shoulds”… and start listening to what actually lights you up? In this episode of The Year of the Horse, I’m joined by Tara Punter — a business and mindset coach on a mission to help women move beyond survival mode and truly thrive. Tara shares her journey from working as a groom and managing hospitality businesses to discovering her calling as an equine journalist… and then stepping into coaching after seeing the real impact of her work. It’s a story of bold decisions, saying yes before feeling ready, and following that quiet inner knowing when something just clicks. We explore:  The turning points that shaped Tara’s path into business and coaching  How mindset work shifted everything (even when she resisted it at first)  The powerful link between your thoughts, beliefs, and the results you create  Why so many women feel “not enough” — and how to start rewriting that story ✨ Plus, Tara shares a simple but incredibly effective technique you can use immediately to interrupt negative thinking and take back control of your mind. This is a grounded, honest conversation for horsewomen and business owners alike — especially those who know they’re capable of more, but feel held back by invisible patterns. If you’ve ever found yourself stuck in comparison, self-doubt, or overthinking… this episode will feel like a breath of fresh air. Connect with Tara: Find her on Instagram: @thethrivingbusinesswoman Explore her book Magnificent Mindset for a deeper dive into the science and practice behind her work. If this episode spoke to you… you don’t have to just listen quietly on the sidelines.There are two ways to step in:→ Join the conversation inside my group This is where these ideas continue, expand, and turn into real discussions with other horsewomen: https://www.facebook.com/groups/theequineempress 👉 → Or, share your story on the podcast If you have experience, insight, or a journey that could help others… Message me “PODCAST” and let’s explore a conversation.
