Together they reflect on the experience of stepping away from everyday life and immersing yourself completely in horses, learning, and community. The conversation explores the clarity Cat gained around consent, boundaries, safety, technique, and the subtle difference between getting a horse to do something and creating the conditions where a horse genuinely wants to participate. They also discuss business, teaching, personal growth, and the unexpected ways that living alongside horses and horse people can challenge old assumptions while opening new possibilities. Most importantly, this episode is about what happens when learning becomes experiential rather than theoretical. When ideas stop living in books, podcasts, and social media posts and start living in your body, your relationships, and your daily practice. And yes, there was a lot of laughter along the way. This is a conversation about clarity, growth, and what becomes possible when you give yourself permission to learn deeply. Hosted by Simplecast, an AdsWizz company.
