HYS Ep. 32 - The Unspoken Truths About Investing In Yourself

In a rare solo episode, Tracey dives in to a topic that's very personal for her - self-care and the value of personal investment. She's witnessed for years what happens when people don't take the time to tend to themselves, and how professionals and amateur owners alike continue to miscalculate just how important looking after their own needs really is. She talks about how it's not easy to recognize and be honest with one's self with the lack of investment that we make in ourselves, and how there are so many of us feeling overwhelmed or out-of-touch due to burnout. Once you've had that honest conversation about what you're faced with, and you're fully aware of what the signs and symptoms of experiencing possible burn out are, this episode points listeners in the direction of a few small but simple tools to get things turned around to the point of feeling less overwhelmed and more energized and in control of your days. Change is a learned behaviour and it takes practice, patience and consistency. And Tracey reminds you that you put a lot into your horse so you can enjoy them - the right foods, training, equipment - and sometimes you need a reminder that you deserve that kind of care and attention as well.
