Truth, Land & Becoming: A 2025 Recap

2025 Story Recap with Tara Denetsosie-Lovato. In our first episode of 2026, Tara joins me to reflect on the voices, lessons, and medicine shared by our 2025 guests — from sovereignty and leadership to land, language, and coming home. We revisit the wisdom of artists, activists, aunties, and culture bearers who reminded us that culture is living, leadership is relational, and hope is a practice. Tara also shares something deeply personal: her lifelong relationship with horses. She reminds us that horses are medicine. That they mirror our truth. That if we rush, they rush. If we’re grounded, they settle. “Whatever you’re feeling, they’re going to reflect that 100 percent.” From barrel racing to ranch life, we explore preparation, foundation, accountability, and gratitude — lessons that echo everything our 2025 guests taught us. This episode is about sovereignty. It’s about coming home. It’s about remembering that our ancestors are listening. 🎙️ Tune in now. #RealNativeRootsUntoldStories #NativeWomenLead #HorseMedicine #IndigenousSovereignty #StoriesThatHeal
